Building a business that is a profitable side hustle from the start is not about luck. It comes down to the decisions you make early and the discipline to stick with them.

Today I revisit my conversation with Mellisa Mills, founder and CEO of Millsie, formerly known as Spread’Em. Mellisa built her "cashew dip" company that has been profitable from day one and has grown into a multi million dollar business without outside investors.

This episode pulls together the most valuable lessons from our original interview, including:

How Melissa tested demand before scaling
Why she prioritized margins and cash flow over rapid expansion
How reinvesting profits allowed the business to grow steadily and sustainably
Why slower, more intentional growth can outperform build fast strategies, especially in product based businesses

Since this interview, Spread’Em has been rebranded to Millsie, a change driven by growth, clarity, and an expanding footprint in the United States.

If you are building a business or thinking about starting one and want a grounded, real world perspective on profitability, decision making, and figuring things out as you go, this episode offers practical insights you can apply immediately.
