So if you clicked on this video, you are probably actively trying to do dropshipping, ecom, or whatever. And I want to shed some light on a few things. So before I say that, like, I want to let you guys know that I've been where you are. And obviously you guys right now, you see me sitting, you know, in a nice car. Um, you guys maybe have seen my channel before. You've seen the things I do, like traveling, the freedom I have. But I want to let you guys know that I, for a very long period of time, was exactly where you are right now. I was trenching ecom. I was stuck in, you know, debt. I had credit card debt. I thought I was gonna have to go get another job. Like, I was in a very rough spot as well. And so just an inevitable thing that I want to tell you guys right now who are struggling with e-com is that the struggle is inevitable. Like, whenever you're trying to do something new, you're always going to be a beginner at it, and beginners are always going to struggle. It's like if you've never played basketball before, and you get thrown into a pickup game, you are going to suck, all right? You are going to get bullied, you're gonna get, you know, you're gonna feel like a child basically in that pickup game. And it's the same thing with e-commerce. And so the fact that you guys are struggling, one, it means you guys are trying, and two, it means you guys have at least taken the first step, which really, honestly, you guys should be proud of. Like before I say anything else and before I give you any advice how to get through the struggle and how I made it out, for example, you guys are already trying to do something outside your comfort zone, something that you probably don't know many people doing. And I just want to congratulate you for that and let you guys know that like, that's a big accomplishment in itself. Like, you are believing in yourself, you are taking a leap of faith, and you are being bold. Like, you should be proud of yourself. And if you continue to do that with your life, you're going to become a crazy person with an insane amount of lore and just like have an amazing life. So just continue to do that. But now let's talk about how you can actually get out of struggling with e-com. And so if you're struggling e-com, it probably means right now you're either testing products, you're losing money testing products, um, or you're just confused on where to begin, or you're just confused in general. Maybe you tested products for a while and you haven't seen anything work. One thing I need to understand and help you guys understand is one, how much abundance there is out there. Like how many opportunities and how many things are happening every single day that you can capitalize on. And a lot of reason, and the big reason is why, why you guys maybe don't capitalize on it is because you guys have been taught by a lot of people just to copy other people, right? Copy people who are successful, copy brands that are working. That doesn't work. Um, you need to find And you guys need to focus on finding something that is new, something that's fresh, and something that's unique. I— it's like the number one thing I recommend to any beginner who's really trying to find their first winning product or build a winning store or build, you know, some profit at first to work with is you guys need to find like these really unique opportunities. Because if you guys understand the market as a general, like buying behavior, What people are buying now online, uh, what people want, it all changes. It's, it's a constant like cycle. It never stays the same, right? So there's going to be new trends that emerge. There's going to be old trends that die out, right? This is constantly happening over the years. And so you guys need to understand where the market's at right now and where it's probably going to go. And luckily to our advantage is we have History. We have history that we can look at, even if the internet, like, the internet's been around for almost 20 years now, so like, or even more than that. And so we can understand and go back and see how these cycles work, you know, when a certain policy or a certain trend, for example, like with anything, you know, pops up, how does that affect buyer psychology? How does that affect people's thinking? And so from this you can go and plan out and look ahead and see like, oh, I think this is gonna do really well. And the best part, and what you guys should be looking for, is to find an actual product that fits this that is already out there so you guys don't have to create something from scratch. And essentially that's what everybody does who, who does really well in e-com. But that is like the work part of it. That's like the actual what you need to do part of it. And that's my advice for dropshipping as a whole. But my advice is even if you do that, you're going to struggle. Like, you're going to still— like, you're gonna have to find, and you're gonna have to trench, you're gonna have to grind, right? And so how do you get through the grind and see the other side? That is simply from your own mind and trusting and believing in the process. And this is something that I did when I was trenching and when I was in a really rough spot. And luckily, I'm not in a rough spot anymore. But what I did is I just— one, I prayed. I'm not gonna lie, guys, I prayed. Um, you guys just need to find some source that you can go to, whether it's that, whether it's— one thing I also did was watching YouTube videos. I would go literally on YouTube and watch videos of this one Jordan Welch video, which is crazy because I've actually been able to collaborate with him since then, um, where he just lived a day in the life. And I would kind of like visualize myself in his shoes in his scenario, living that life, and it happened. And so you guys need to use your imagination to actually like help your mind create the scenarios that you want to happen. Um, and then your mind starts actually creating and connecting like thoughts and patterns into that, and you will actually end up becoming that person. And that's like the biggest thing is like the mental part of this game is the hardest, because when you're in the trenches, when you guys are struggling like you are, like you guys are not going to be able to see the light. You guys just see the failure. You see the losses, right? You see the bank account maybe going down. You guys don't see the opportunity or the skills you're building. And so you guys need to reframe your perspective and be like, okay, right now I'm just going to work on building these skills and I know eventually it's going to pay off, right? You need to trust the process. It's like Joel Embiid, bro. Like, literally trust the process. Like, the process inevitable. It happens for everybody. I know, unfortunately, there's a lot of people out there who want to make it seem super easy, want to make it seem like it's a walk in the park. It's not. It's a hard game. It's a competitive game, but it's such a rewarding game because when you get to the other side where you get to where all these people are at, like, you just have freedom and you have ability. Like, right now, it's so cool. I have the ability to start so many different businesses because I've done e-com first, right? Ecom is super low barrier to entry. Like, you can basically start a store and print without too much money, right? It doesn't cost a lot of money. But now that I have some more money, I can start all these other businesses. I can get into real estate, I can get into, you know, a SaaS company. Like, I can do a bunch of different stuff, right? And so the other side of it is just, it's so rewarding, and it's— it really opens up a lot for you in your life because you have freedom, and then you also have You know, money, which those two things are like, just give you so many options, of course. But to get there, you guys really need to reframe your perspective. And to get through the trenches, you just need to understand that it's a process. That every single day, if you're getting 1% better, you are on the right path. Regardless of what your bank account, regardless of the sales on your store, if you guys are improving your creatives, if you guys are improving your landing pages, your offers, everything 1% every single day. Without fail, and you guys do that over a long period of time, it's literally inevitable that you're going to fail. It's inevitable that you won't make any money. Okay, so it happens at different times for different people, and timing is very important, but it will happen to you. So for anyone who's really struggling right now, I just wanted to make this video. I don't know why I felt called to make this video for you guys. And so hopefully this sheds your light, shed some light on like where you are and what you need to do, what you need to focus on. You need to focus on the actions the skills you're building, not the outcomes, and you will make it so much further. And you all also take a lot of stress and pressure off yourself if you focus on building skills, which is something you can track daily, rather than profit and revenue, which is something that kind of just happens when it happens. It, it happens when, you know, the timing meets preparation, right? So you can't really force timing in this game. You can really, really try your best, to grind and trench, and obviously that improves your odds, but timing is a real thing. And a lot of people say that you have to get lucky. It's not luck, it's opportunity and preparation. So just remember that, guys. Um, I was where exactly you guys are right now. Just keep that in mind. And all I did is I just pushed through. I found a way to keep going, to keep improving, and keep trying. And that's ultimately why I'm here today. So thank you guys for watching the video, and You guys are all going to make it if you just do those couple things. So, peace and love.
