Oh My Gosh – I Made A Profit!
Well it’s been a long time coming but this tax year (ending in June for Aussies), my business BetterEdit is going to turn over a proper profit. It’s not much more than the average straight out of university salary (and I don’t actually pay myself a salary from that) but it’s a really big deal for me. The growth, while not skyrocketing, has been consistently trending upwards as more and more clients come back after previous good experiences and spread the word to friends and family as customer evangelists.
Just as I said over at Small Business Branding – it can take 5 years before you finally taste success.
It certainly hasn’t been smooth sailing all the way and each bump in the road makes me rethink what I am doing, but I’m still here and the experience for 99% of the people involved, including customers, editors and me, seems to be a good one, so I can’t really ask for more, just for things to continue as they are trending upwards.
How was your business this tax year?
