How I Overcame Life's Roadblocks And Started A $500K Business
Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
Merhaba! (that’s hello in Turkish). My name is Zeynep and along with my brother Yusuf, we run Galen Leather from our workshop in Istanbul. Combining our love for stationery items and skills in leather-making, we design and handcraft our own line of handmade leather travel journals, notebook covers, personal accessories and now, so much more!
We started out selling locally and from there, created an Etsy store to gain a more broader, worldwide customer base. Over the years, our business has evolved and on the cusp of a huge growth spurt, we decided to launch our own e-commerce store.
In the last year, we’ve broken sales records, experiencing a 138% increase in revenue to hit an average of around $40,000 in sales each month. Most of our products are made to order, and as a small team of four, we believe what we’ve been able to achieve so far is no small feat!
