Everybody's always asking me what's your top three tips for starting dropshipping or can you give me some advice for starting Drop Shipping and I honestly hate this question because it's so generic but it's the question that I get asked the most so in this video, I'm Gonna Give You All what you want. I'm gonna share with you three crucial lessons that I learned from Making Over 2.5 million dollars on Shopify. These are lessons that I wish I knew when I first started and honestly if I knew them I would have been successful way faster. So I'm gonna keep this video short and sweet. I want you to pay attention, maybe take some notes or something like that because these will change the game for you. The first lesson is that success in business is actually directly correlated to success in your personal life. So if you're watching this video right now and you're vaping and you're extremely out of shape and you're smoking weed everyday and you eat crappy food and you don't drink good water and you never do anything for your physical or mental well-being good luck building a business because not gonna happen. It's never gonna happen. The success of your business is directly correlated to the success of you as an individual if you cannot manage your own well-being and your own health. How in God's Great Name. Do you think that you are going to be able to manage a million dollar internet business? You can't even control yourself from eating junk food every single day. So that's the first principle that I learned pretty early on in my journey that made a significant impact and when I started truly optimizing my life in that area, I started making more money than ever before. So what are some simple things you could do to optimize your life in that field. Well, the first thing you do is be very conscious of the input. So what are inputs what are the content? You're consuming? What are the foods you're consuming? What are the things that you're doing on a daily basis that impact and influence your mind if you're eating junk food, if you're spending three hours a day on tiktok every day if you're watching YouTube videos. Is about somebody pranking people outside for two hours a day and you're not giving your brain proper feel you're not gonna be able to focus and you're not gonna be able to create the ideas that you need to be able to succeed controlling the inputs that you put into your mind is going to make a drastic impact on the person that you are today and inputs are not just in that sense input also comes down to what do you do for yourself? What do you do for your body? Do you ever work out? Do you ever go for a walk? Do you ever ride your bike? If you don't take care of yourself personally, you're going to deal with massive brain fog you're going to deal with an extreme lack of focus and an extreme lack of energy and these things are going to kill you because there's somebody out there and this might hurt to hear this but there's somebody out there that is doing these things and they're gonna Crush you if you guys are both running the same type of store the same type of product. They're gonna run laps around you and they're gonna laugh at you as they're running past you they hahaha. They look at that garbage Store. Look at that low quality person. I'm just gonna run past them and I've seen Happened time and time again, whether it's people that are doing Drop Shipping people that are doing YouTube people they're doing any business if you have a chaotic personal life, it's impossible to succeed in business. So that's principle. Number one principle number two, is that the easiest way to succeed in Drop Shipping and pretty much any business is copying what's already working. You don't have to come up with some revolutionary idea or find some brand new product or test some brand new type of AD to make money with dropshipping. In fact, if you're a beginner, if you do with these things, it's just gonna be way harder for you. When I shifted my mindset to this in the early stages of my business is when I finally started making money the first five to six products that I tested were products that I thought were cool. I went in my mom's room. I was like Mom, what do you think about this bracelet? Oh, Think it's cool, honey. Launch it flock did terrible. Oh, I text my friend, bro. What do you think about this product? Isn't this thing? Sweet? Yeah, man, it looks cool. Launch it flop. Oh, I like this product. I test it. Launch it flop you get the point. What I started doing was looking at who is succeeding right now. What ads am I seeing on my feet that are going viral? What stores am I seeing that are doing really well what products am I seeing that are doing really well and then I studied them and I tried to figure out how can I make that better? How can I improve upon that how can I turn that into something a little different from what they're doing so I can capitalize on that and that is when I started making money with dropshipping. I see far too many people get into this business and try to create some from scratch almost started clothing brand and I'm gonna make something brand new and I'm gonna go ahead and run it up. You can do that and know knocking you if you do that, but you're gonna have a much longer Journey. Somebody like me who's gonna go out there find what's already working and make it better and capitalize off of it. For example for her to sleep band. When I found that product it already had millions of views on Facebook. I'm pretty sure it was like seven eight million views on Facebook. All I did was I saw that the website and the video ad were very low quality and they could be improved. I made them better and I immediately started seeing sales when I launched that product because it had already been validated. It had already been proven to work. So long story short. You want to succeed with Drop Shipping. Don't try to start something brand new go out there and study what's already working and ride the coat Tales of that because that's gonna be your fastest path not only to succeeding but learning what's working. If you study the people that are already succeeding You're Gonna Learn what's working much faster than if you go pick up a book about how to Market and how to copy right? Forget that just go study the top store and see how they're writing copy that's gonna teach you how to do copywriting so much. There hopefully that makes sense third and final principle. Is that once you find a product that starts making money we don't want to churn and burn that product meaning we don't want to run it up and then move on to the next one. I used to do this when I first started Drop Shipping, I used to launch products scale them up. They would die and I'll move on to the next one. This strategy is really a tire some it's really exhausting and there's no longevity in it. What I do now is I launch a product I scale it and then I am reinvest those resources the capital and I try to make that product the number one within the industry. So this is what I talked about in the reveal, but for the Sleep band, I started it on a hybrid store which is a store where the bunch of other products I saw the product was doing well. So I reinvested the money I made to make the store focused entirely allowing the Sleep band and I improve the quality of the product. I improve the packaging. I filmed my own ads I shop my own photos and that's what allowed me to. To almost two million dollars in sales and then sell the business because I turned a winning product into a legitimate asset which is what allowed me to build that Equity value and sell the business. So when you do find that profitable product is more important than ever for you to reinvest and turn it into something greater. So those are my three lessons take care of your personal life and take care of yourself. Everyone be a successful entrepreneur because that is the key next study. What's already working and ride the back of that? Because if you try to start something from scratch, it's gonna be way harder and honestly, I think it's idiotic. If you're a beginner to do something like that, especially if you have no skills, and lastly when you find that first profitable product reinvest your resources to turn it into a legitimate brand because that's where the real money is made. The real money is made in the exit. The real money is made in being the leader in the industry. Okay. So these are my three lessons that I learned from making millions of dollars with Shopify and these are things that I wish I knew in the beginning I had so many winning products back. Day that if I just focus on them and turn them into the number one in the industry. I would have sold those companies for hundreds of thousands even millions of dollars too.
