Behind the Scenes: 1 Man, 4 Words, 1000 Orders (Small Business Saturday)

7 Years of LIVE A GREAT STORY Reading Behind the Scenes: 1 Man, 4 Words, 1000 Orders (Small Business Saturday) 2 minutes Next Tamron Hall TV Show LIVE A GREAT STORY Feature

Most people see LIVE A GREAT STORY and think,

"This must be a big business with lots of employees and a large warehouse."

They're wrong.

LIVE A GREAT STORY is a small business with no employees and a tiny "warehouse" (it's actually a spare bedroom). 

LIVE A GREAT STORY is just me, Zach, and I wear all the hats required to keep this business running so that it can keep inspiring people to be the hero of their story.

For the most part, it's a pretty streamlined process... except during Black Friday.

The last 10 days have been craziness *in the best way possible*

  • I've personally shipped over 1000 orders 
  • I've had multiple 10+ hour days of only shipping orders
  • I filled my car to the brim to drop everything off at USPS.. a few times

And I love it!

I love that so many people love the LIVE A GREAT STORY message and that I am able to run a business that inspires people to be the hero of their story.

I am living my great story thanks to YOU!

I'm seriously so grateful for your support of the LIVE A GREAT STORY message. 

And I will happily ship your order at 1am after ten hours and almost falling asleep while doing it.

I snapped a few photos of the craziness, check them out:

I teared up after unloading this round of orders, the biggest single day of shipping.
These hundreds of orders means thousands, probably tens of thousands of people will be inspired across the country... thanks to YOU! 
Thank you for being part of the LIVE A GREAT STORY movement!!
It's not stopping and is only becoming bigger. 
I have a lot of plans for 2022 that I will be sharing soon so stay tuned!
