Part 6/7:

Despite their success, Daryl and Amanda learned critical lessons from their missteps. Their first mistake involved shipping—opting for air shipping, which cost them $1,700. In hindsight, they acknowledged that taking time to research freight forwarders would have led to better solutions.

The couple also emphasized the importance of professional photography. They initially relied on Canva to create product images, leading to lost sales worth an estimated $5,000. Investing in high-quality images is now recognized as an essential aspect of standing out on Amazon.

Finally, Daryl lamented that not starting sooner may have cost them up to $50,000. He emphasized that aspiring entrepreneurs should capitalize on the opportunity as quickly as possible to reap larger future earnings.
