Hey everyone,
My company is approaching its 2 year anniversary! Woot woot!
However, its not be an easy *road* to get here... lets take a quick look at my company's story.
Road to Mars was founded on the 22nd of January in 2020, during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Being a beginner, things didn't go great at first, I started in fashion before I made a rash decision to start producing SEPs, while making my own fuselages, CF, CC, and oil.
The profits from this were miniscule. I was making 1-2 SEP a day, and made 20-40k per day, with a CV of a few hundred thousand.
I was very low on cash, and things were NOT looking good.
Then, things started coming together, I put out some bonds, and made jet engines for a while, increasing my daily profit to 100k a day with a CV of 2 million.
It was at this time that I decided to reset, starting off a very bumpy road.
During this time, I had forged a great friendship with S.J. Supplies, who went inactive, and now the company ceases to exist. He helped me learn the ropes of the game, and gave me some useful advice for my company going forwards!
So on May 8th of 2020, I restarted my company, and this time, my growth exploded....
I continued producing jet engines, and was making 150k a day, before, on June 23rd 2020, I reset... again.
It was around this time that I joined the moderating team, and helped do my part in supporting SimCompanies.
This time around, I reset with a plan.
Within the first week, I gathered #1 certificate for the biggest employee growth %, now lost due to a later reset, and started retailing cars.
Soon enough, I was making 200k a day, and decided to take the jump to aerospace: Sales Offices.
I also did the scientist achievement as far as I could with my balance, to support my cash on hand.
With sales offices, things went smoothly, making 400k-500k every day!
After a while of sales offices, I changed industry again, something I have a bit of a record of doing.
I decided to build a bunch of launch pads, with a CV of around 27 million, but I made a fatal calculation mistakes, and I wasn't happy with myself.
This led to a period of inactivity.
A few months later, I came back and reset again, once again showing explosive growth in the early stages.
I forged some partners, and I bounced back quickly, hitting 2m in just a few weeks, when once again, I rushed into an industry; prompting another inactivity.
I came back with a CV that had plummet to 200k, and in the last 3 weeks, I have now achieved a CV of over 6 million, and have grown into the new food industry.
Yesterday, December 16th, I also obtained my first collectible, thanks Fox!
So you see, it wasn't easy. I didn't always make the right decisions, but I hope you learn something from this and think it through. A lot of people make calculation errors in this game and it hurts.
If you are focused on getting to the top, think through your options and choices, look from multiple angles. You don't want to make the same mistakes as me.
With multiple restarts, and industry changes, and inactivities, I hope you all can take something home from this.
Summary: Don't change industries and restart without thinking if you are focused on getting to the top.
Road to Mars, out.
