Woman entrepreneur: How Monisha grew her food board side hustle to $100k sales in 9 months

-
Here is an inspiring story of Monisha Misra which I recently heard. She started selling Food boards during the pandemic in the Boston area. But what is notable is that she started small, one step at a time and managed this besides her full-time day job!

After 9 months, it had grown to $100k in sales. Demand for food boards grew and she started getting lot of questions! Ultimate she started with online classes and could also afford to hire another Chef to assist her!

She gives some nice Instagram tips too (using all the hashtags, how she tags other food brands etc)

Listen to her on The Side Hustle Podcast: The Side Hustle Show: 434: $100k in Sales in 9 Months: Instagram, Salami, and Fun

Yesterday, I was listening to a podcast episode Think Bigger & Innovate from ' The Psychology Podcast ' featuring "some" Columbia business professor. Half way through the episode I learn that the guest professor is a blind person! She is Dr Sheena Iyengar! According to Wikipedia, " As a child, she was diagnosed with a rare form of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited disease of retinal degeneration. By the age of nine, she could no longer read . By the age of sixteen, she was completely blind, although able to perceive light.  She remains blind as an adult. In 1992, she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a B.S. in economics from the Wharton School and a B.A. in psychology from the College of Arts and Sciences. She then earned her Ph.D . in Social Psychology from Stanford University in 1997 " If she can do it, why can't we? #Inspiration #Resilence #NeverGiveUp #WhatsYourExcuse

I was already 4 years into the job as a Java Software Engineer. Back then, the  Symbian  OS platform was very popular. This was much before Android & iOS gained popularity. Being a chess afficionado, I used to learn chess and participate in chess tournaments. Learning was mostly via software on the laptop. However, when it came to mobile, there was hardly anything. I owned a Nokia Symbian S60 device and could find only on good chess app called Chess Genius. But it was mostly for playing vs the AI whereas my need was of an app or tool to help in my learning process (i.e. solve chess puzzles and view games of past chess masters) Seeing this void and trusting in my tech skills, the idea to develop something on my own popped into my head! This is when I started exploring ...
