I’ve picked the wrong web host more than once, and every time it’s cost me. Sometimes a slow site nobody wants to wait for, sometimes a renewal bill that triples overnight after I started out on cheap WordPress hosting.

To turn a hobby into a business, validate market demand, outline a business plan, and separate your business and personal finances.

That’s the question I wanted to answer. Turns out a $180 billion brand with this kind of product-market fit has a lot to teach anyone trying to
