Trendy Sales
A dropshipping venture that helped me explore online business and clarify what I wanted from entrepreneurship. The experience left me looking for a more direct connection between my work and the value someone received.

The question
Was dropshipping a business I would actually enjoy building?
It was one of the paths I explored while figuring out how I wanted to work for myself. Trying it gave me a way to answer that question through experience.
The approach
I pursued Trendy Sales as a dropshipping venture, exploring a model where products could be sold without holding the inventory myself.
As I spent time with it, I became increasingly interested in whether the business was providing something I felt proud to put my name behind.
Where it stands
Trendy Sales is a completed venture. I chose to move on as I realized the model wasn’t a good fit for my interests or the contribution I wanted to make.
What stays with me
I need a reason to care about what I’m working on.
The possibility of making money can get an idea started, but I’ve learned that my motivation runs much deeper when I understand the problem I’m helping someone solve. Trendy Sales helped make that preference clearer.
