    [PROGRESS] How I Got Fired (and why it was one of the best day of my life)

    EXECUTION 
    I understand why your previous boss would react this way - your plan is to establish an ecommerce agency which makes you a direct competitor with them. I wouldn't keep you either because your plan is to quit anyways, so I would look for somebody else to replace you so I can think long-term...

    EXECUTION 
    I've been wanting to either learn a trade or get a degree - since I am still relatively young. And I haven't gotten into the market now but planning on becoming a real estate agent - mostly since it fits the kind of work I am looking into in the future and my long-term plans are renting out lots...

    I did work on Amazon, that one slowly died out and I decided to do something else. The Amazon one is a long time ago by the way, I did do well in terms of revenue etc. but the product wasn't really that good which taught me big lessons which I have used in my dropshipping business which has...

    Because it has potenial to do well - it has a new page and it just needs people to comment on it which is asking customers to put comment etc. and run advertisements but I will be completely transparent with you. I've lost motivation to even do this simple thing and run ads - I have lost...

    It's a bit odd, lowering my price to $5k. So my business is for sale for $5000, pretty cheap compared but the longer I let it sit without touching it, the more the business value goes down. Also update on me: I've decided to move cities in a few months, going to study real estate to becoming a...

    So an update: I've stopped my ads - just kind of leaving my store to dust up which is unfortunate but kind of focusing on learning a trade - looking to become an electrician and possibly in a few years open a company related to electricity/electrician work. So yeah, store has huge potenial and...

    EXECUTION 
    So I asked few customers to leave comments and pictures to add social proof. I've significantly lowered my ad budget to as low as $25 and really have no motivation to continue this business as I am focusing on learning a trade. My business is now for sale - first man, first serve at $9.5k - and...

    Facebook has been a pain in the a$$- so I setup a new facebook account and running new ads and generating sales - just needs social proof again to get even more revenue like before.

    EXECUTION 
    Some bad news: Due to the corona virus and the orders that were placed before then - these were delayed a lot and our customer feedback on Facebook score went to 0.9 - which placed us on a ban for the page. We've setup a new Facebook page and running and need to build the social proof on the ad...

    My brand is niche-oriented - and it's not a "winning" product in that sense of how you portray it on YouTube or by so called experts/gurus - but the fact that it's a product that people need and I am the one who delivers it at a good price. My advertisement has been only for 1 product - and it's...

    A little update: I decided to stop running ads after 3 days of reopening. I generated $2.5k these few days and the reason I am temporarily stopping the ads is due to the fact that my supplier won't be able to ship out items until the 10th - apparently due to the Corona virus that's roaming...
