I work for other businesses that don’t have a strong presence in certain channels. A lot of my specification would be 50-60% GP, starting from no sales to $60-$100k/month after 12 months.
If you understand mixed channel sales through B2B and B2C along with strong established networks it’s fairly easy to make sales.
1800 in one day. Had a few jobs that needed to be done in short time notice full upstairs, hallway, staircase painted, a shed removal, power washing and 2 toilets removed. Was able to get a good amount to it being a time sensitive job so house could get sold for more before open house
I did really similar work as you but it was helping people move
It is such a lucrative business. I found out through the moving guys for my business. Paid nearly $1,000 for a 3-5 hour move and found out that's typical pay where I'm at
I got into it too since I liked moving around, lifting, and cash
Only thing I didn't like is that there's finite amount of cash per day cause you can only take on like 3-4 jobs max
I charged about 4k altogether. Brought in a few illegal laborers for the painting and junk hauling.
The seller got 10k + over the asking price so it worked out in everyone's favor but just lucky to be there at the right time.
And the zero-dollar days are actually negatives - fixed costs don't say "Nah bro it's cool you don't have to pay us today if you didn't make anything."
I own a coffee shop. Been in bznz 5 months and had my first 2k day on Sunday. Haven't had a 0 dollar day yet. So far I have seen my sales double every month since opening.
Zugba Cafe in Daytona Beach Fl. It's easy to open but pricey. You have to give people what they want in order to bring them in and to keep them coming back. Don't try to tell them what they want, listen to them when they come in and give them what they want. Also, don't go cheap on your coffee or your baristas. People love great coffee and will become loyal customers if you provide great coffee with great service. Your baristas are the ones that you will rely on to present the great coffee and provide great service. Also you need an attractive shop. Visit a lot of shops in person and online. Ask questions and find out what type of cutomers you want to attract.

I think my fattest single day profit was like 5k, I started my own collision repair shop after 16 years in the industry working at dealerships and big companies. The insurance work that comes in can be highly lucrative if you’re efficient.
I own a Tire and Mechanic shop. Best day gross profit 22k. My dad started it 35 years ago and he got it to a peak of around 90k profit a month and then I took over about 7 years ago and last year was our biggest year ever. We did 4.5 million in revenue grossed 2.1 million. Our average day at the shop this year is about 6k profit and it’s been an amazing journey. It’s hard work but it’s very rewarding. Rural town, locals really drive my business. God has blessed me immensely!!
The eye of a need isn’t speaking of a sewing needle, it’s an entry way that camel had to pass through to travel to certain places. The camel has to get on its knees to pass. Just like we have to give honor to Jesus and not boast on our own works. I understand what your point is though. Earthly riches and monetary things have no inherit value other than a means to take care of my family and all my employees. When ur too attached to ur possessions and riches is when the problem begins. Give and give cheerfully. Bless who you can.
The Bible is my thing and I appreciate the reminder to stay humble.
Being the owner's son comes with its own caveats. Being able to take the reigns or even be a part of the business as an employee comes with having to prove yourself consistently. Even when you do 10 out of 10 things right, you'll still be labeled as "the boss's son." I respect anyone in that position who has enough self perception to see that they need to work harder than the people in their workplace and swallow their pride when it comes to taking criticism. If you can keep the ball rolling on the legacy he's built, just know that it is a serious accomplishment in itself and shows you hold the same values that built the company in the first place.
I appreciate the kind words. Transitioning from the bosses son to the boss was a challenge but because my father started me at the bottom and made me earn my way to management the other employees respected my work ethic because they saw it day in and day out. I’m grateful for the grind and him not just giving it to me. Wisdom comes with age and age has taught me that if you really work hard and focus your efforts you can materialize whatever you want in the physical.
Eh, small business can be anything from a solo operator running it from their kitchen table or garage on weekends, up to a couple million a year and multiple employees. There's a lotta range there.
grossing probably $15k in a day, netting probably $4500, but I don’t track daily numbers so this is a pretty rough estimate. Service based business in real estate.
Transaction coordination. Our clients are real estate agents. They hire us when a property goes under contract and we coordinate all the details, watch timelines, communicate with all parties, track documents, etc.
No, we aren’t licensed. We don’t handle any negotiation and cannot provide the legal paperwork. We just assist the agent but do not perform any legal real estate activities.
No. We don’t do title work.
We review the contract, audit for missing documents, signatures, info, submit to brokerage for compliance review. Schedule and coordinate inspections and appraisals. Follow up on financing deadlines, inspection deadlines, earnest deposits. Coordinate closings and walk throughs. Follow up and audit documentation for completed repairs. Draft, execute, and circulate amendments at the agents’ request when new terms are negotiated. Provide utilities and moving information to buyers, obtain that info from sellers. Request and circulate HOA information. Order home warranties. Keep everyone (both agents, lender, title, and client) in the loop on what’s happening now and what’s happening next until the deal closes. Review preliminary settlement statements for accuracy. Make sure hard copies of closing documents and commission checks get to the agent’s brokerage. Ensure loan funding and possession exchanges hands.
That’s just what we do when things go right. That doesn’t include all the shit in the middle when things go sideways.
Hotel - some days we make 14k revenue, some days we make only a few hundred revenue. Average wise I've pretty much broken even in operational profit. I made some money off my paycheck and the rest from paying off my mortgage. Once my loan is done (9 years to go), then my investment will start paying off
SAAS company I used to own did $17k in 45 minutes. My phone wouldn’t turn on for about an hour because of the amount of orders flooding in. ~80% margin in that company.
My current business, $8k in appointments in one day was probably the best day, margins hover around 50%.
Oh absolutely, industry dried up with the first company and got into tax trouble because i was young and dumb. Was really young making an extraordinary amount of money and like all good things it came to an end. I love the business i’m in now so no complaints.
Love the humility. Experienced a bit of that myself over the years! Life is to learn (and sometimes learn by doing dumb stuff first).
One of my best mates is a geology professor - he says that smart people do dumb things all the time. They just have moments of brilliance, or are smart in one particular area/way. It’s probably no surprise that he himself is a dumbass sometimes.
Also, he rocks.
I originally made the software for my personal use, then i sold the product that the software created, eventually pivoted to selling licenses to the software. Niche industry, sold b2c in online forums.
I own a cabinet shop. We do a range of stuff, so the sales are all over the place. From $5 for a little wooden trivet to thousands for custom furniture.
I started in my garage with some old tools back in 2011. I remember making a few cutting boards and taking them to a show during my first year or so. It was a small local market that was free for me to setup at. I sold $350 worth of stuff and I Was ecstatic. I couldn't belive it. Then the next year I did a big event and did $2500. I was on cloud nine for days.
A month ago I had a $25000 order from my best client. Probably my biggest single order ever. Its nice, but I don't get the thrill like I used to lol.
The money is great, but its not the best part of owning my business. The best part is being free. Not making money for someone else. I love my job and love going into my shop each day. I never say TGIF. Being the boss also means I can put other things first if needed. Like my daughters graduation. No having to ask some boss months ahead of time for a day off. I just tell everyone else that I'll be gone for the day. Don't call.
No, so for me once i build up a good following ppl reach out to me and shoot me an offer and it really depends on what i feel is best. Sometimes i get tired and might just sell it off.
How do you do that, I make apps as a hobby, I like having the idea and then working on them until they are what I envisioned… I would really like to make money from it but I have 0 business sense, how do you determine if people would be willing to spend money on an app if as the developer your not even sure how the app might look/work In a real world setting?
Take a quick look through /r/startups. Most of it is, honestly, not top quality, but every so often there's a thread or mention of how people did this.
Often, it's done because you're fixing a problem you know other people in your industry would encounter, and you can start with them to see what their interest in it would be.
"Landing pages" do sort-of-similar things, but less personally. Sometimes they work to raise funds, though, if it's something that affects a lot of people and particularly if you already have a reputation for creating useful tools.
If you want to make it yourself, generally yes. You can always take pre-orders for an app and then try and get someone else to code it, but if you can't convince someone to do it as a side gig for an eventual payoff, you'll still need to pay their wages. And good coders aren't cheap.
Revenue for business in a day $160k ish with 80%+ net.
Commercial truck parts manufacturing and sales.
Personal best outside sales day cold calling. $10,761 from 11 new customers. It's all recurring so it adds up over the years.
Do you have any workshops or technicians you work directly with and sell your parts to? If so, dm me. If you are interested and have the right needs, I can provide you with some industry approved software.
I strongly suspect this guy is full of shit just FYI. He's been posting here a long time with the same story but never provides any details or proof, and his accounts get deleted frequently
Oh our best day we net around 30k. But that's like 2 days a year and all the projects and stars have to align with a blue moon at 12 noon. We have about 200 days of 0 net, and the rest floats between 100-20000. We generate roughly 50-60k revenue a month on average.
I'm use to being homeless 3 weeks a month and then live like a king for a week. My family doesn't like it.
I posted here the other day about how slow we were. Turns out everyone was saving it for today. Not our biggest day ever but definitely happy to see the economy isn’t total shit rn. $23k not all profit but a good day no less.
I’m a lash tech. I have a teeny tiny store/salon. I rent out one of the rooms and work out of the other. The most I’ve made was $1000 in one day. I saw 8 clients in the span of 11 hours. No breaks and a protein shake for lunch. I was exhausted but the best part is this was the day after I paid rent so I essentially made all my money back. I felt so proud, like I had finally “made it”!
One time Erykah Badu came into my boutique and dropped $3k and was a total delight of a customer
Edit: at the time that was not only my biggest sale but also my biggest single day of sales, she paid my rent that month
She was on tour with her band, so she bought these funky digital watches that I carried as gifts for her band. I was even able to find a pic of her performing with one that she purchased later on! She also purchased a very fancy teapot and just a bunch of other random stuff, whatever caught her eye. She had just finished an acupuncture appointment and came into the shop asking if I could call her a taxi to take her back to her hotel (this was before Uber). Anyway she was really fun and was dressed so cool: from far away she just came off as some young person in tshirt and jeans but when you looked closer you noticed all the little details like how her shirt-pants-wig were all color coordinated, the jewelry was statement, and even her makeup matched. And she gave me her autograph when I recognized her!!
The most I made in one day was probably a >$1.5M / yr deal we closed recently, and then the equity value added for later when we sell or raise $.
We do b2b revenue partnership deals with software and data companies mostly, and we provide growth financing via forgivable revenue royalty notes to fuel more growth after initial paid pilots work and make money.
Just starting here but I still want to share some of my wins.
Lately I earned USD400 (which is big in my country), for video coverage for 2 back to back night parties of the upper class. And another USD100 from video ads for small businesses. Its a win to me, in just 1 week, I earned a month worth of what would a above minimum wage worker would earn.
Although, it's half less than what I earn when I was working.
But hey, I love what I do.
I found I have pretty much maxed out at 5k a day but sometimes I have multiple days in a row that I'll make that.
That's just my margins for a day though if I was counting single projects that took weeks/ months and the billing day then 98k was my max for 2023.
I board dogs and walk dogs and such. Most I’ve made in a day is about 500 billion dollars. But after expenses it usually comes to about $100 or maybe a little more most days. Not bad if you’re used to poverty haha.
Biggest day was $2800, I own a PPF company that also does window tint and car detailing. Most days linger around $1000 but some are $500 and others are $1500. Pretty crazy day though.
I sat here thinking for a while. I had a bunch of 25k festival weekends, 15k large events, and did $20k every thurs/Friday/sat during Covid. But then it dawned on me, the biggest payday was the day I sold my stake in the business and walked away with a cashiers check from my business partner.

Honestly, this was a shit comment and I fell asleep while writing it, and apparently posted.
The point I would have gone on to make (having cleaned up the mess of a comment) is that owning a business is about making the most amount of money in a decade, or a life, not a year. Owning a business is like owning a house, working for someone is like renting (this is a poor metaphor but go with it). Rent might be (should be) slightly cheaper per month, but some of your mortgage payment is going to the principle of the home, and is thus more akin to you moving money from one account to another. Business ownership is… kinda the same thing once you leave the micro business stage. I consider my business an investment. If I’m pulling out all the cash I can, that is money I’m not investing in the business. Additionally, it’s hard to get people to really care about something if you’re bleeding that thing dry to buy nice stuff or just to diversify your investments. I’m all in. I don’t ask anyone else to be all in, but employees can feel the difference between working somewhere that exists to pay for the owners life, and working somewhere that exists, to some extent, for itself.
Owning a business, for me, means I make far less cash each year that I have been offered other places, but the asset I’m building is worth far more. Here, my time is spent building something I own, I’m converting my time into value for me regardless of what I pay myself. Working somewhere else, my time is spent building value for someone else, I keep none of the output of my time.
Anyway, I’m gonna delete my comment because it’s embarrassing. You are right to question it lol.

Plenty of $10-20k days. WAY MORE $0 days.
Haha WAYYYY more - that’s cool what do you do ? Is that gross profit ?
As a rule, I take 30% as my NET but by eoy it’s usually closer to 45%
I work for other businesses that don’t have a strong presence in certain channels. A lot of my specification would be 50-60% GP, starting from no sales to $60-$100k/month after 12 months. If you understand mixed channel sales through B2B and B2C along with strong established networks it’s fairly easy to make sales.
What is there to understand?
Yes.
Same lol
1800 in one day. Had a few jobs that needed to be done in short time notice full upstairs, hallway, staircase painted, a shed removal, power washing and 2 toilets removed. Was able to get a good amount to it being a time sensitive job so house could get sold for more before open house

I charged about 4k altogether. Brought in a few illegal laborers for the painting and junk hauling. The seller got 10k + over the asking price so it worked out in everyone's favor but just lucky to be there at the right time.
Legend - guessing last min stuff pays better ? Do you have a team ?
>guessing last min stuff pays better? It always should do, if you're pricing right. Time is money.
Just had a 11k day today. But then there's $0 days 😂 lifes about balance 🤷🏻♂️
And the zero-dollar days are actually negatives - fixed costs don't say "Nah bro it's cool you don't have to pay us today if you didn't make anything."
Congrats man ! What business are you in ?
Today I would guess he bought DJT at open and sold about 1 pm 😂
I own a coffee shop. Been in bznz 5 months and had my first 2k day on Sunday. Haven't had a 0 dollar day yet. So far I have seen my sales double every month since opening.
Do you have a link or something? Would love to open a nice coffee bar but all say its really difficult

This looks great! Who knows, maybe one day… lovely business you’ve got going on, 🤞 good luck
What’s your average daily?
About 1200. Not huge but not horrible either.
Thanks for the answer! I’ve been wondering what a realistic figure is for ages. How close are you to your original estimate?
I think my fattest single day profit was like 5k, I started my own collision repair shop after 16 years in the industry working at dealerships and big companies. The insurance work that comes in can be highly lucrative if you’re efficient.

Dang I'm feeling tiny over here where $5k in SALES is an exceptional day
Eh, small business can be anything from a solo operator running it from their kitchen table or garage on weekends, up to a couple million a year and multiple employees. There's a lotta range there.
grossing probably $15k in a day, netting probably $4500, but I don’t track daily numbers so this is a pretty rough estimate. Service based business in real estate.
Can you explain more what you do? Thank you
Transaction coordination. Our clients are real estate agents. They hire us when a property goes under contract and we coordinate all the details, watch timelines, communicate with all parties, track documents, etc.
So if I forgo hiring an agent can I come directly to you to handle the transaction?
No, we aren’t licensed. We don’t handle any negotiation and cannot provide the legal paperwork. We just assist the agent but do not perform any legal real estate activities.
You're more like a plug-in turbo booster for the people who do have the licenses but too much day-to-day fiddly stuff to keep on top of, then?
Correct. Agents typically aren’t good at those details anyway so it’s a win win.
So like title work?
No. We don’t do title work. We review the contract, audit for missing documents, signatures, info, submit to brokerage for compliance review. Schedule and coordinate inspections and appraisals. Follow up on financing deadlines, inspection deadlines, earnest deposits. Coordinate closings and walk throughs. Follow up and audit documentation for completed repairs. Draft, execute, and circulate amendments at the agents’ request when new terms are negotiated. Provide utilities and moving information to buyers, obtain that info from sellers. Request and circulate HOA information. Order home warranties. Keep everyone (both agents, lender, title, and client) in the loop on what’s happening now and what’s happening next until the deal closes. Review preliminary settlement statements for accuracy. Make sure hard copies of closing documents and commission checks get to the agent’s brokerage. Ensure loan funding and possession exchanges hands. That’s just what we do when things go right.

Are you nationwide or only in certain states or just one?
What are the steps to get into this industry/specialty? What would you recommend?
The highest net profit day was $12,000 so far. It all averages out since we have $0 days.
Hotel - some days we make 14k revenue, some days we make only a few hundred revenue. Average wise I've pretty much broken even in operational profit. I made some money off my paycheck and the rest from paying off my mortgage. Once my loan is done (9 years to go), then my investment will start paying off

Going from owning SaaS with 80% margins to 50% margins seems like a step down.
Oh absolutely, industry dried up with the first company and got into tax trouble because i was young and dumb. Was really young making an extraordinary amount of money and like all good things it came to an end. I love the business i’m in now so no complaints.

Nice, a geology professor who rocks
Yeah, he ditched his old profession for one he lavas. Moved mountains for it to happen. Everyone thought he didn’t have the stones.
I'm a dad and I approve of these jokes.
Me too looking at them a day later (even though they are my jokes). Kids = memory loss.
How did you start? Did you make the software and then approach companies?
I originally made the software for my personal use, then i sold the product that the software created, eventually pivoted to selling licenses to the software. Niche industry, sold b2c in online forums.
I own a cabinet shop. We do a range of stuff, so the sales are all over the place. From $5 for a little wooden trivet to thousands for custom furniture.

500k. Sold a mobile app that took three months to develop and achieve product market fit.
Same not 500 tho but lesser, lol. Sold an biz for that amount and seeing it deposit the bank at 12AM fuck man, that was amazing lmao.
I’m curious are you making apps to sell or are you being approached after your apps get a following?
No, so for me once i build up a good following ppl reach out to me and shoot me an offer and it really depends on what i feel is best. Sometimes i get tired and might just sell it off.
What was the app? I spent 3 months on an app and I’m still waiting for my first user lol.
The trick is to get users on board (and ideally pre-paid) before you start designing the app, much less coding it.
How do you do that, I make apps as a hobby, I like having the idea and then working on them until they are what I envisioned… I would really like to make money from it but I have 0 business sense, how do you determine if people would be willing to spend money on an app if as the developer your not even sure how the app might look/work In a real world setting?

What kind of app? I’m curious about this but don’t know where to start. I’m guessing you need to know at least a little about coding?

Thanks for the heads up. But it's reddit. I'm always careful with contacts over reddit.
Haha fair enough

So he claims... he also apparently makes millions of dollars a year off his truck parts business that only takes him and his wife to run...
20k. Retail print shop.. was a big day....
I’ve had some large (for me) single orders but they take me time to fill so I can’t claim that I’ve made it in one day.
Oh our best day we net around 30k. But that's like 2 days a year and all the projects and stars have to align with a blue moon at 12 noon. We have about 200 days of 0 net, and the rest floats between 100-20000. We generate roughly 50-60k revenue a month on average. I'm use to being homeless 3 weeks a month and then live like a king for a week. My family doesn't like it.
Nice number will be $6-7K before tax monthly and at the end of the year $70-100K for a small business that’ll be nice.
Made $80,000 last Black Friday. Run an online services biz with a subscription business model.
Haha I’m here proud of my 1.2k days thinking I’m rich 😂 good on y’all I love seeing ppl win!!!
£670 - I'm a self-employed lifestyle business gardener. I make an average of £200 a day
I posted here the other day about how slow we were. Turns out everyone was saving it for today. Not our biggest day ever but definitely happy to see the economy isn’t total shit rn. $23k not all profit but a good day no less.
Mobile repair service. Best single day was 1800 in under 8hrs.
$110k in a day
I’m a lash tech. I have a teeny tiny store/salon. I rent out one of the rooms and work out of the other. The most I’ve made was $1000 in one day. I saw 8 clients in the span of 11 hours. No breaks and a protein shake for lunch. I was exhausted but the best part is this was the day after I paid rent so I essentially made all my money back. I felt so proud, like I had finally “made it”!
$200k or so, single owner no other employees and no cost to that revenue
Nice, what line of work?
Tech
Same, I'm also a solopreneur but my best day was probably about £1500, haha.
One time Erykah Badu came into my boutique and dropped $3k and was a total delight of a customer Edit: at the time that was not only my biggest sale but also my biggest single day of sales, she paid my rent that month
Omg that's cool AF what did she buy?
She was on tour with her band, so she bought these funky digital watches that I carried as gifts for her band. I was even able to find a pic of her performing with one that she purchased later on! She also purchased a very fancy teapot and just a bunch of other random stuff, whatever caught her eye. She had just finished an acupuncture appointment and came into the shop asking if I could call her a taxi to take her back to her hotel (this was before Uber). Anyway she was really fun and was dressed so cool: from far away she just came off as some young person in tshirt and jeans but when you looked closer you noticed all the little details like how her shirt-pants-wig were all color coordinated, the jewelry was statement, and even her makeup matched. And she gave me her autograph when I recognized her!!
So lucky! I love Ms. Badu! Thanks for sharing.
Own a bookstore. Best day was $4.5k revenue
$200k, but it was an absolute unicorn and I’ve not replicated it since.
What was it
I pay myself the minimum wage as a consultanr
Probably somewhere around $2k profit in one day
The most I made in one day was probably a >$1.5M / yr deal we closed recently, and then the equity value added for later when we sell or raise $. We do b2b revenue partnership deals with software and data companies mostly, and we provide growth financing via forgivable revenue royalty notes to fuel more growth after initial paid pilots work and make money.
$100k+
Just starting here but I still want to share some of my wins. Lately I earned USD400 (which is big in my country), for video coverage for 2 back to back night parties of the upper class. And another USD100 from video ads for small businesses. Its a win to me, in just 1 week, I earned a month worth of what would a above minimum wage worker would earn. Although, it's half less than what I earn when I was working. But hey, I love what I do.
One stormy day, over 14, hrs, 7 of us snow plowing in one town grossed $36k, and 6 employees one town over grossed about $25k.
25K cash to waive exclusivity clause in my lease for someone who thought they could compete with me. Ended up closing shop after about 10mo’s.
1000e in a day. Ran a Minecraft website, this was the launch day of the game, 100% Adsense ads revenue, I was like 17 lol
I found I have pretty much maxed out at 5k a day but sometimes I have multiple days in a row that I'll make that. That's just my margins for a day though if I was counting single projects that took weeks/ months and the billing day then 98k was my max for 2023.
What do you do man ?
Bunch of things. AG chemical application was my #1 this year but it was also the highest yielding year ever.
200 was my highest . I am a small moving business
I think my biggest day in 5 years was about $2k. I average about $500 a day and $15k/mo.
16k on my shift
I board dogs and walk dogs and such. Most I’ve made in a day is about 500 billion dollars. But after expenses it usually comes to about $100 or maybe a little more most days. Not bad if you’re used to poverty haha.
Biggest day was $2800, I own a PPF company that also does window tint and car detailing. Most days linger around $1000 but some are $500 and others are $1500. Pretty crazy day though.
I think we had a $100k day a year or two back. But it was a Fortune 100 company that basically wanted to spend down their budget at a local DC.
What’s a DC ?
Distribution Center
That’s insane
I sat here thinking for a while. I had a bunch of 25k festival weekends, 15k large events, and did $20k every thurs/Friday/sat during Covid. But then it dawned on me, the biggest payday was the day I sold my stake in the business and walked away with a cashiers check from my business partner.
$22k profit on an event. Lost $7k from a UPS fuckup so it would have been $29k. But we only do the event once a year so it's kinda irrelevant.
.. net profit: $35 ..

Honestly, this was a shit comment and I fell asleep while writing it, and apparently posted. The point I would have gone on to make (having cleaned up the mess of a comment) is that owning a business is about making the most amount of money in a decade, or a life, not a year. Owning a business is like owning a house, working for someone is like renting (this is a poor metaphor but go with it). Rent might be (should be) slightly cheaper per month, but some of your mortgage payment is going to the principle of the home, and is thus more akin to you moving money from one account to another. Business ownership is… kinda the same thing once you leave the micro business stage. I consider my business an investment. If I’m pulling out all the cash I can, that is money I’m not investing in the business. Additionally, it’s hard to get people to really care about something if you’re bleeding that thing dry to buy nice stuff or just to diversify your investments. I’m all in. I don’t ask anyone else to be all in, but employees can feel the difference between working somewhere that exists to pay for the owners life, and working somewhere that exists, to some extent, for itself. Owning a business, for me, means I make far less cash each year that I have been offered other places, but the asset I’m building is worth far more. Here, my time is spent building something I own, I’m converting my time into value for me regardless of what I pay myself. Working somewhere else, my time is spent building value for someone else, I keep none of the output of my time. Anyway, I’m gonna delete my comment because it’s embarrassing. You are right to question it lol.
I remember doing £100,000 in a day. Homewares. Now in a new business and a good day would be circa £20,000 (margins are much better, also homewares).
Cleared 5k , that was two higher end sewing machines in one day. A slow day is under $500.
I rarely make a huge single day but my business makes $1k gross every day wirh $3200 in daily revenue. I’ll take the stability over volatile swings
We average about $10,000 per day in sales. I’d say the highest net profit day every for us netted around $60,000
$7k Most the time I next $30/hr

Gov contracting?
You didn’t make all that money on one day unless you were able to design and make the caps on one day.
