Tiger Bands

In short

My first try at building something when I was 16 years old, I tried to build an e-commerce business, which sold wrist bands for watches and apple watch. The business failed due to my lack of experience at the time and a bad choice of niche.

Why ?

I jumped into the dropshipping bandwagon after seeing some content online. And it led me to to create this project.

Challenges

• Finding real painful problems to solve with a business is not easy as a 16 year old high school boy kid.

• I had to learn everything ranging from facebook ads, to web design, to ecom.

• Not knowing shit about business.

Notes to self / Key Insights

• It’s a bummer that I didn’t start with a more “noble” business model, but the experience was still very valuable, and helped me get a job at Bankin’ a few years later.

Milestones & Achievements

2017: I had made my first sale online! (to a Canadian guy, who ended up asking for a refund 😅)
