Shanna labored in finance full-time when she began doing craft reveals. She broke her manner into the enterprise by working for a dip firm. Watching the corporate herald upwards of $3,000 in a weekend, Shanna was making $1,200-$2,000 in fee.
However she wished to work for herself. She wished the liberty to give up her full-time job and run her personal dip enterprise full-time.
Her first weekend branching off on her personal, she grossed $3,200.
“It was my cash,” she stated proudly. “Cash that supported my household. I may pay our payments, I may handle my household.”
So what goes into working a dip firm from the highway?
Shanna makes all of her dip mixes in her “clear kitchen” at her residence base in Georgia. That doesn’t simply imply the kitchen is cleaned (which is completely what Heath assumed within the interview!) Most states require a clear kitchen—which suggests a kitchen that’s used solely for the enterprise, not for private use. Earlier than hitting the highway for present season, Shanna makes her dips and brings 500 of every taste within the RV…and he or she has 30 flavors!
