    You Just Lost Your Rights On Shopify

    Strangely enough while I dont like it personally, I agree with their actions and would do the same if the roles were reversed. Had I been Shopify, I would 100% want to reserve that right. With that being said, it is up to the store owner to: A) Be aware of the rule so as to gauge the risk...

    You Just Lost Your Rights On Shopify

    There was a notice on my shopify store today saying that the terms of using shopify have been updated as of 4/3/17. Upon closer inspection, I noticed there is now a "Shopify Rights" section. The first right of shopify is the following gem: We reserve the right to modify or terminate the...

    Update: Through an extreme amount of self control, patience, diplomacy, and guidance from my dad, I was able to get on reasonable terms with my Chinese supplier again. I have some more shipments coming in but everything is on borrowed time. There were times where I would read a message from...

How to get an identity shift: 33:10) Strangely enough I watched a video interview of Peter Sage the other day which covered the exact topics in this thread. To add on to your point, Identity #2...

    Been away from the forum for a little while. Time for an update. Essentially since the end of December I have been out of stock. My Chinese manufacture wasnt sending me stuff because he left his USA shipping station and was in China. After bugging him constantly, he finally sent me some...

    Right now I have a few products that are my main sellers, and the rest are just to give my store more credibility. Occasionally someone will buy them although there are really only <5 in stock for those items. To answer your question, I haven't really had to drop any products because I use...

    Breaking free from Social Conditioning

    MINDSET 
    This quote really struck home. So often we put so much emphasis on what those around us have to say. This is because we have been socially conditioned from a young age to listen to their opinions. However, I have never personally stopped to think, "really how valuable is this person's...

    Honestly, the best advice I can give you would be to stick around the forum and read the threads that pertain to your interests. If its eCommerce read @biophase thread here and @Ecom man thread here. Almost everything I learned about eCommerce was either through those above threads, the rest of...

    My dad is an entrepreneur himself so he understood my need to be independent. However, I don't think either of them understood the scale of what I was doing until recently. They mostly thought it was just some hobby I was working on.

    There is literally always going to be someone that is doing something better than you. While its important to not worry too much about them, you should still keep them in the back of your mind. When youre first starting, it seems like an extremely daunting task to accomplish what you see...

    Met with the manufacture again today. I am now getting some designs made. The first product is going to be something simple just to get it out the door. Once everything is set up, I will get other iterations made with more complex changes that I want. Still concerned about getting the price...

    1) Public speaking. The benefit from not being afraid to go and talk to people is HUGE. Business is all about meeting people. Before you can sell you need to be comfortable talking. 2) Start some form of a business with the only goal being to learn about how to run a business. When you make...
