What they didn't tell me about ecom...
me I'd have to.
master shipping,
or that I had to learn people
budgeting, and
video all at the
same time.
to learn
manufacturing
leader in
the process.
I had no idea
just how
much stress
was involved,
Late nights
in my hands
wondering
how I was going
to force a smile
for my family.
They didn't tell
me I'd have to
become a
copywriter and
learn how to
make ads, or
how to build
a website and
hook it all
together.
They didn't tell
me
That I'd have
to do it alone,
while still
showing up
as a husband
and a father.
But the one
thing I did
know, was that
this was my
opportunity.
This was
my shot at
building the
life I dreamt of.
Achievements
They didn't tell
me the
struggles of
this path
would turn me
into a
capable man.
They didn't tell
me I'd never
want to go back.
They didn't tell
me I'd fall in love
with the game,
and it would
bring me
everything
I ever wanted.
If I could do it
all over again,
I'd just start
sooner.
Original caption
I had no idea what i was in for when i listed my first product on Amazon. I had no idea that it would force me to become a better version of me. I worked on the business and the business worked on me. It became my opportunity vehicle. It allowed me to put direct effort into a business that could earn while i was asleep. It allowed me to present husband and father. It changed my life. It can change yours too. #ecommerce
