“If you love what you’re doing then the thing that you love will follow. Running your own business isn’t a 9 to 5 it’s a 7 to 7 job. I enjoy it, I go home sit on my laptop and I can’t get away from it. There’s not one day that I’ve kept away.” Jeet from Blukoo.

Some thoughts from the interview

 

“It started from the back of the garage back home, we were there for 6 to 8 months. We started by buying just as much as we can and selling on-line.  It wasn’t a fixed category, it was what we could get hold of and what we could make money on.”

“We slowly started focusing on nutrition, vitamins, supplements, herbal products and it grew from then on.”

Some thoughts from the interview

“Back in the day I was actually driving a London black cab, which was great but I just wanted a bit more job satisfaction and not so much driving.”

“I started back in 2004 selling used DVDs on eBay. They all sold out which gave me encouragement to carry on. Then I progressed to buying up unwanted collections of plays station games, consoles and accessories. The down side of that was that there were a few returns of used products.”

Some thoughts from the interview

“I started with my own website to begin with, and then realised it was very difficult to get people to find your website let alone sell anything.”

“You got to be at the top of google on page one and it costs a lot of money to get there.”
