How I Turned My $3k/month business into $25k/month
I started my Christmas light side hustle about three seasons ago. In the first season, we were all over the place, with no systems or processes in place. I was only able to make about $3k because I wasnβt charging enough, didnβt have a reliable supplier, and didnβt have any project management software. I was trying to keep track of everything myself without any software to help. By the second year, we made some progress and ended up doing about $10k. I implemented a quoting system and became more organized with follow-ups and got an actual supplier, but I knew further growth required more robust systems, especially since I was still working a full-time job and trying to do everything after work. Last year, I finally scaled to about $25k in a month by hiring employees and streamlining my processes. This allowed me to efficiently manage the business, focus on growth, and deliver better service to my clients. If you have questions about how to apply systems to your business let me know!
