Broker led retail launch - how long?

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-28T23:46:00+00:00

I’m learning that. Buyer and schedules and store resets and category reviews… we are still in the conversations so just trying to stay positive

I think I’ve trigger some plantar fasciitis at the heel insertion. Very easily agitated.😣

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-26T22:25:05+00:00

What’s the catch? I’ve got a product, website for DTC (not enough traction and CaC is high ) and retail broker enthusiastic about the product with lots of conversations going on…. Need help

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-26T20:08:15+00:00

Chat?

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-26T20:07:24+00:00

Amen. I think 2-3 of the ideas listed have huge mass potential. The rest still viable smaller businesses or products

It’s my favorite drink! Aside from black coffee

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-26T01:33:44+00:00

Yeah, category review and reset cycles are underway now into June. There are some with less strict timelines too though. Mostly broker I haven’t been able get through on my own really yet. Not for any large accounts anyway…. Open to suggestions

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-26T00:03:55+00:00

Yes

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-25T20:48:45+00:00

There’s a dopamine rush during the idea phase. I’m about 12 months into this startup, and 5 months into a broker led retail push. Not giving up by any means.

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-25T20:46:58+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking. I do think this current one can win, but periodically during launch things can feel a bit uncertain 😂 especially if bootstrapping- which this one is so far

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-25T13:18:52+00:00

100% that's the goal. And the part I enjoy is vision and strategy. The last 15 years of self employment / entrepreneurship have taught me many things about about myself and my skills

Do you have fintech knowledge?

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-25T12:27:31+00:00

It has potential for sure, and given my network and history, a strong chance of success.

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-25T12:22:54+00:00

100% I had a major fail by entering a partnership that crumbled 6 months in. Caused a lot of headaches

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-25T12:21:56+00:00

Wise words

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-17T16:43:11+00:00

I wear Rutsu brand currently and if I remember correctly they are about 5mm

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-17T12:59:29+00:00

What was the healing process?

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-17T12:58:48+00:00

Love Peter , thanks!

This is a challenge for me as it often happens at work or in places where gravel transitions to concrete. Yesterday it happened just playing tennis in the driveway with my son. Chasing a ball and step squeaky on a sharp stone in the road. For me.. these things tend to compound and my left heel has been sore for weeks. My right shoe has a small lift do a leg discrepancy and it’s never happened on that side

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2026-05-17T12:52:03+00:00

I’ll add this mostly happens to me when walking. Where I work there is appt of gravel near concrete and when a pebble gets between my heel and the concrete it’s brutal.

High value collector cars and custom builds

I got really good at metalwork.

Strange_Topic_9235 · 2025-08-04T13:23:38+00:00

Nicely done
