Go for it!Nothing much to add, except that I love the idea @bytecode had about tracking his Pomodoros to become more productive!
I've implemented pomodoros into my work structure, and I love it!
From now on I'll do a lot less mindless ranting about life, and more tracking of work / execution.
I'm going to be logging how many pomodoros I do each day, as long as it's all good with @bytecode for completely stealing his idea!!
Pomodoros: 8
Pretty solid for my first day, but it was definitely the most productive day I've had in a very long time. Caught up on a lot of university projects I was behind on, as well as finished some photo and video projects that were on the backlog. Started organizing an outreach program for the e-commerce business. Found some decent influencers who should promote for free! I'm going to dm all of them tomorrow and see what happens
Glad that you found Airtable useful, awesome that you're getting up to speed with it so quickly, it took me alot more time to figure out how to use it properly lol.
Good luck with the dropshipping business! Though I think it's harder to get a fulfilment agency to work with you unless you can promise certain volume, so in the beginning it's still better to fulfill via Aliexpress, set a volume target for yourself to switch to working with fulfilment for branding.
Any reason why you decided not to go with Shopify? I'm thinking that would accelerate your process on setting up the site alot.
Icic, I'm not familiar with the ZA payment issues but shopify supports both stripe and PayPal, with they not be appropriate?
Yes costs will be higher with shopify but imo if it allows you to keep up the momentum it's worth it especially since your products are ready.
Would hate to see the momentum watered down from taking woocommerce classes etc but if you're confident of pushing through then by all means stick to the plan, just my 2 cents

How did you get the mentor?
My biggest take away was definitely the value of being resourceful. This dude does this for a living (and gets paid well for it), and he knows a lot less about video and photo than I do. I WAS TEACHING HIM things about content creation. He has very minimal camera gear, which every film/photography student would laugh at the thought of shooting a commercial on
