Hi everyone,
my name is Minda and I live in Italy and I work as a consultant in one of the Big 4.
On paper, everything looks fine.
In reality, I don’t like my job, I don’t like my income, and I don’t have the financial freedom I want.
About a year and a half ago, I decided to try something different: dropshipping.
I bought my first course. I learned how to build a store, create creatives, launch Facebook ads, and finally released my first product.
Nothing.
Second product.
Nothing.
Third product.
Nothing.
Then I bought another course similar content, same approach, but this time with a coach.
First product: nothing.
Second product: break-even.
And then… I quit.
I spent six months completely disconnected from this world.
Six months thinking I had failed.
Six months thinking I had wasted a lot of money.
Six months convincing myself that this wasn’t my path and that maybe I should just choose something else.
Eventually, I tried again but this time starting from my mindset.
I realized that very often I look for alternative ways to avoid doing what I already know I should be doing.
In September 2025, I bought the books everyone talks about when discussing mindset, including MJ’s book.
I enrolled in a second and then a third course.
I tried dropshipping again.
So far, I’ve run three product tests all negative.
At the same time, I started an ads course. My goal is to detach myself from my job first, by becoming a freelance ads specialist, using dropshipping as a way to build real case studies.
Sorry for the long introduction maybe I needed it more than you did.
Today, I’m still testing with dropshipping.
There are days when I feel very demotivated, but I still do something.
I want and I need to learn.
My goal is ambitious: I want to reach one million.
But the reality is that sometimes I don’t even know where to start.
Anyway…nice to meet you all!
