I was determined that I would not fail a second time.

I started with a piece of paper and started to write down all of the things that I wasn’t going to do anymore as this would have a bearing on how I setup my manufacturing system;

• No more product demonstrations
• No more factory visits
• No more renting a factory
• No more expenses on things I didn’t need
• No more listening to other people
• No more products that everyone else has
• No more selling through resellers
• No more partners
• No more bullshit from suppliers and resellers

And I also wrote out a list of what I was going to do;

• Create my own product that is in demand
• Create multiple versions of my products
• Work from a home office to save costs
• Keep innovating
• Listen to customers to get ideas for products
• Make my business appear like a large industrial warehouse
• Create my own distinctive brand
• Sell via a series of websites
• Create demand by multiple websites
• Be on page 1 of Google
• Demand payment in advance
• Don’t offer any accounts
• Use resellers only on my terms
• Sell direct to end user
• Work the hours that I want
• Make sure I get a bucket load per hour
• Build the product with the best possible profit margin
• Target large companies with deep pockets
• Try and source components from local off the shelf suppliers

The list was like a dream list for a business. Sounds great but highly unlikely to be fulfilled.

I now have all those things and have had since 2012.

So let me lead you through what I sell, how I make it, how I sell it and all of the nuts and bolts of running a modern home based internet business in 2018.
