“Changed the rules”: How this serial entrepreneur turned a $35 blog into a $7 ... - SmartCompany.com.au
au – one of Australia’s most popular websites for new car buyers. The business turns over around $7 million, thanks largely to healthy advertising sales, and employs 30 people. We spoke to Fallah to find out what it takes to turn a humble blog into a thriving online business. This is the seventeenth business I’ve started. I’ve run internet cafes, I’ve run a computer store and an internet marketing company. I’ve always loved cars and always wanted to do something in the car space. Our job is to connect the right customer to the right car. I never took my failures as failures, I took them as lessons. My advice would definitely be to fail early and fail as many times as you can so that when you grow up one venture will definitely work. You’ve just got to keep trying and the one that will work will be the one you’re most passionate about. Of the 17 or 18 businesses I’ve started I have not had one business plan. The business plans have been in my head but they’re not the kind of business plan an analyst would look at and call a business plan. Source: www.smartcompany.com.au
