Description
How do you turn a $3,000 idea into 100,000 sales in under three years? In this episode of Make It Happen thanks to Uber One, I take you behind the scenes of building Celebration Box. From spotting the opportunity on Instagram, to the viral moment that brought in 3,000 orders in a single week, to the chaos that nearly broke the business. I share the three biggest lessons I learned along the way: solve the real problem, build systems before you go viral, and protect your customer experience at all costs. If you’ve ever dreamed of starting a business from scratch, this episode is your blueprint.
