Man Quits High-Paying Job to Start E-Commerce Business, Shares First Month Earnings

He described the transition from a fixed salary to managing products, orders, and advertising as challenging and admitted making mistakes. Public reactions were mixed, with some supporting his entrepreneurial move and others questioning its profitability.
