1️⃣ - Not Taking Action ❌
I'm going to tell you something that helped me when struggling to take action.
You can apply this to any portion of life.
"Seeing the outcome that you want as factual"
If you doubt the outcome from the beginning, it's going to stunt your growth.

If you doubt the outcome from the beginning, it's going to stunt your growth.
The anxiety and worry associated with doubting the outcome will hinder your ability to take action.
Once you accept the outcome as factual you can allocate your

2️⃣ - Wasting Time with Terrible Brands ⌛
I have had awful experiences with brands that were not worth the headaches.
Last November I sold some saunas from a brand that said the shipping time was going to be 4 weeks.
They delayed the shipments 5 months.

Last November I sold some saunas from a brand that said the shipping time was going to be 4 weeks.
They delayed the shipments 5 months.
Our customers would call us asking where their saunas were.
This brand deliberately lied to us so we wouldn't cancel the orders and left our customers with a terrible impression.
Which is when we dropped the brand completely - never put up with a brand that acts this way.

The sign to drop certain brands are:
👉 Not responding effectively
👉 Lying
👉 Giving inaccurate information by mistake
Don't ignore these faults and drop them from day one.

3️⃣ - Choosing a Bad Store Name 🏬
My store name is not easy to pronounce, and definitely not easy to spell.
It's caused us a lot of problems and questions - not to say you can't succeed with a bad name, however.

For example, if you sell massage chairs primarily:
"massagechairhaven" would be an excellent option that resonates with people.
Easy to remember, spell, and will stick with people when spoken through word of mouth.

4️⃣ - Pointless Shopify Apps 🚫
Nothing will slow your store's loading times more than useless, poorly optimized Shopify apps.
Only install apps that you really need and that you see as being a huge help to your store.
I have plenty of apps that provide high value.

It's also crucial to never make this mistake because some app's code stays on your store PERMANENTLY.
This results in a permanent change in your store's speed which you do not want.
Even if you remove the app.

5️⃣ - Wasting Money on Agencies Early On 💰🔥
In the eCommerce space, big agencies will drain your store dry.
They're not good, they have no idea what they're doing, and will charge you ridiculous amounts of money.

In a business model like eCommerce, specifically High Ticket Dropshipping, cash flow is paramount.
You need proper cash flow so you can allow room to reinvest back into your business.

I spent over $100,000 on agencies that without a doubt provided zero value to my business.
Complete waste of money and time.

Luckily, I later found someone in the SEO space who does know what he is doing.
He told me that everyone I paid had zero idea what they were doing and I might as well have taken that $100,000 and burned it.

In SEO, backlinks are the most important thing for your success.
This one SEO agency I spent $50,000 on didn't even implement one backlink.
All they did was change some headings and put some content on my site.

If this agency had provided backlinks and blogposts we would be in an amazing SEO position right now.
The key takeaway is finding an agency that works on a performance basis.
They don't get paid unless they perform at a certain level.
