Jared Goetz, CEO of Zendrop, breaks down the mindset that separates successful dropshippers from those who fail. He went from $250 to $20,000 in daily profits by staying excited and testing products relentlessly, while skeptics focus on reasons it won't work. The difference is belief and persistence.
Hey guys, my name is Jared Goetz. I am the CEO and founder here at Zendrop, and first of all, I just want to welcome you. I do think that it's important to discuss the mindset of dropshipping. You know, before my journey building Zendrop, I was a dropshipper. I've done multiple 8 figures selling online, and I also got the opportunity to teach and coach hundreds of students on dropshipping. And there was always one quality that I would immediately know if someone was going to be successful or not in this business with almost absolute certainty. And, you know, we would do these group coaching programs where people would come on the call and sometimes it would be their first call. And the one thing that would determine in my head if somebody was going to do well or not was did they come to the call either skeptical or did they come to the call excited? The people that came to the call skeptical were looking for every reason why this business was not going to work for them, every reason why life was not going to change for them, and every reason why they were going to fail. The people who were excited, on the other hand, realized that there are millions of products that you can sell to billions of people around the globe, and something has to work, right? It's just a matter of continuing onward until something actually works for you. Now, the people who came excited, who were, you know, they were working on their store every day, they were testing new ads, they were finding new products, they were putting their heart and soul into it, it was always just a matter of time until something happened that was greater than what they could have ever imagined. For example, maybe this person's never made more than $200 in a day. Well, eventually, if you keep testing enough products, one product with an ad will perform in a way where you can make more than $200. And you can perform past your beliefs. And you keep doing this cycle over and over again. For me, I had never made more than $250 in a day of profit. And that first time I did that, I was selling products at a music festival and I made $500 in a day. And now my beliefs shifted from $250 is good to $500 is good. Then I started my dropshipping business, and I was doing about $1,000 a day in sales, profiting around $400 or $500. And when my store started scaling, you know, I started doing $5,000 a day in sales with $2,000 in profit. Now, anything less than $2,000 was not a good day for me. If I did $500, that would've been horrible. $250 was, it was a whole different life, right? 'Cause I had performed past what I believed was possible. Eventually, I got my store to doing $50,000 a day in sales. With $20,000 a day in profits. So if I was doing $5,000 in profits, that was horrible. $500 was basically nothing, and $250 was a major failure. Hey guys, don't forget you could find this and more within Zen Drop Academy.
