Survival Mode: Launching a Side-Hustle During A Life and World Crisis
-
Life can sometimes feel like it's dictated by Murphy's Law.
It was problem after problem for Laura and Albert when the coronavirus pandemic hit. In addition to both of them being left jobless, Laura also suffered a horrific accident in which she broke her neck and back.
Faced with such adversities, for most people, it'd be easy to just throw in the towel. But that's not Albert and Laura. Instead of letting these traumatic experiences knock them down, they stayed resilient and (in their own words) "turned that negative into a positive."
Today, aside from having to take care of three kids, which is already a fulltime job in itself, and 11 animals, the entrepreneurial couple is also running two online stores they've launched during these trying times.
Here's their inspiring story about how they failed to let desperation and helplessness take over and worked together to start their online businesses.
Short on time? Here's a five-point TL;DR summary:
The experience of doing something you enjoy and are passionate about is healing in itself.
The transparency on their About page played a role in the success of their store because it humanizes them and adds personality and authenticity to the brand.
Their aim isn't to just sell products that are cool and funny, but also for their customers to have a good purchasing experience.
When you have an angry customer, that's an opportunity to earn them as a customer.
According to Laura, the couple's business partnership works so well because they like to be together and do stuff together, which is key to doing business together.
