Finding GOLD in PEOPLE?
PEOPLE EXECUTIONI mean this in the kindest way possible, but most of this sounds like a systems issue - which means a YOU issue. Which is good because that means YOU can fix it :smile: Did you build communication channels that make it SUPER easy for them to communicate with you? Or lay out exactly what you...- xShepherdx

Intro / Ecommerce Progress Thread
EXECUTIONMakes sense, thanks for clarifying! No, I actually think it's a smart way to test things out. I'll probably do something like that before starting my next brand just to see how the numbers look. My go-to method so far has been to jump in with both feet without testing and that's led me nowhere...- xShepherdx

xShepherdx's Progress Thread: Building A Fastlane Business
HOT! EXECUTIONThis part is really the key: Our products were good, but the value they brought to customers was super low. It was essentially a commodity product with slick branding and as much hype as I could push into it. We weren't changing people's lives or solving a real problem and the revenue of the...- xShepherdx

Intro / Ecommerce Progress Thread
EXECUTIONThanks for taking the time to share. I really appreciate it! Were you creating a new store/landing page for each product or running them under one bigger shop? I've never tested products in a systemic way before, so all I can picture is someone using Shopify's free trial 100 different times...- xShepherdx

Intro / Ecommerce Progress Thread
EXECUTIONCongrats on the success, I hope you continue to crush it! Seems like you'll do really well with a proper brand underneath you. I'm curious to hear more about how you're sourcing/choosing products and building good ads. I read you're dropshipping but you seem to be consistently finding winning...- xShepherdx

HOT! CHATJust noticed that 33/60 of the best-selling items on Etsy are products that teach people how to sell on Etsy. After accounting for promoted products, the numbers change to 33/40. Not sure what they consider "best sellers" or how they're choosing to organize the best sellers list, but I...- xShepherdx

Your Tomorrow Depends on Your Choices Today
NOTABLE! MINDSETGreat post @Runum, thanks for sharing. I'm just about to turn 30 and this part hit me hard. I've spent almost my whole life with a scattered focus, constantly doing the wrong things, making decisions based on fear, and not relentlessly pursuing my goals. This post is a great reminder to...- xShepherdx

xShepherdx's Progress Thread: Building A Fastlane Business
HOT! EXECUTIONAfter a lot of thought, I decided to give the company to one of the contractors I've worked with for over 3 years. Aside from myself, this contractor put the most work into the company and is in a WAY better position to make it profitable. All they need to do is keep doing what they've done for...- xShepherdx

HOT! CHATRecently saw an ad with Chuck Norris in it and realized I didn't know anything about him other than the memes. So I checked out his Wikipedia page and saw this: To me, this sounded like the kind of journey that @MitchC talked about in @mikecarlooch's thread. (Read Mitch's post here) Chuck...- xShepherdx

HOT! EXECUTIONEcom Update For a long time, I thought my marketing sucked and I just couldn't communicate our product's value to potential customers/users. So I hired a "professional ad agency" to run my ads... And I ended up losing $6k over the last 3-4 months as they ran unprofitable ads with fees piled...- xShepherdx

HOT! CHAT@MitchC it's laid out pretty well in the article MJ clipped. He doesn't want to associate with such "dreary" and "evil" people like @Johnny boy and yourself - both of whom have volunteered hours of their time to help randos on the internet (aka me) build life-changing businesses. And I know...- xShepherdx
