When my fiancée was laid off several years ago, I also found myself burned out at my job. We knew we couldn't achieve the success we wanted without making a change — so we really thought about what we wanted our life to look like and took a calculated risk. Within 30 days, I quit my job, gave our landlord notice, moved across the country to temporarily move in with my wife's parents, and got married. We didn't have much in savings, so we paid for it all with a credit card.
Although we'd only discussed our business idea once before, after the wedding we needed a new job and decided to give it a shot. We read and learned about e-commerce and manufacturing, soaking up as much knowledge as we could to get things off the ground. Then one day Manly Bands sold one ring, then another, and it grew from there. We were excited and passionate, and perhaps most importantly, we had confidence that we would figure it out.
