AS a 12-year-old selling toys on eBay, Joseph Holman couldn’t imagine that two decades later he would end up running a business turning over £2 million a year., with partner Elena - but he gave up his day job as a plumper 10 years ago to focus full time on his business selling used and mis-measured doors online.The savvy entrepreneur told The Sun: “I first got into flogging stuff on eBay when I was a child. I’ve always had a bit of an eye for a bargain.
“I did this just before the school holidays and quickly sold out of all the games I had,” he said. “I tried to purchase more from the seller, but he had sold out – I’ve still not forgiven my parents for this.” If you don’t take calculated risks, you’re standing still. If a decision turns out to be wrong, identify it quickly and deal with it if you can. Failing that, find someone else who can.
That said, it was not until quite a few years later when Joseph turned 23 that he realised his real money-maker was going to be selling a very specific second-hand item – used and surplus doors.,” he said. “I began to see just how much perfectly reusable waste the company was disposing of on a daily basis.”“But on top, I was earning between £3,000 and £4,000 selling boiler parts and other bits and pieces.
