The Hardest Lesson I Learned About Online Business

I had the following realisation while building my business:

Building a legitimate and valuable business online takes much longer and is way harder than advertised on social media.

You’ve probably also compared yourself with these 23-year-old dropshippers, traders, or affiliate marketers flexing their “income” and how fast/easy they made it on Instagram and felt disheartened about it.

But your life is not theirs.

You are building your business the legit way. And I commend you for that 🫡

See, a little-known secret is that most of these guys don’t run the “successful dropshipping store” they are claiming to. They are just putting up a facade.

Because the real business they run is an education company.

They claim their wealth comes from selling products, but most of it actually comes from teaching others how to sell those products

Yes, these business models are legit.

…But these gurus aren’t.
_{At the end of this issue, I’ll share some real people to learn from.}

Sorry, I just had to share that. But comparing yourself to these guys doesn’t make sense. Because you run two opposite types of businesses.

Building a business, especially while working a job, is challenging and takes time.

It’s perfectly fine not to charge $3,500 for your services right now.

It is okay to not be in the glorified “high ticket sales.” 

It is okay… to not have a Lamborghini & make a $67,85 sale from your Shopify store each time you blink.

I’ve discovered something important: Get rich quick is also stay rich short.

Quick riches often crumble due to poor structure and systems.

You’re on the right track.

Just stay patient → Do the right things → and stay focused.
