When I was 16, I had an eye-opening experience in high school. I met a classmate who was successfully running Facebook ads and making sales on his Shopify store. This was my first encounter with eCommerce, and it completely captivated me. Since then, I've been on an incredible journey that's been full of ups and downs. Over the past seven years, I've faced many challenges. There were times when I failed repeatedly and had to start from zero. But I never gave up. In college, and even during summers, I hustled by washing cars every week. The money I earned from this wasn't for spending on myself; it was to fund my eCommerce experiments. I tested countless products, most of which didn't work out. At first, I felt like I was wasting money, but I eventually realized that these failures were crucial. They taught me valuable lessons and made me a better marketer. My journey was a series of short successes, each helping me recover my losses. However, they weren't significant enough for me to drop out of school or quit washing cars. Everything changed in my senior year of college. I faced a crossroads: either make my eCommerce business work or resign myself to a regular 9 to 5 job. I chose to take my business more seriously. I studied hard, sought coaching, formed partnerships, networked, and basically applied the principles Gary V is famous for lol. The hard work paid off. My journey wasn't easy, but I achieved success. I continued learning and striving for higher goals in eCommerce. By 2023, my Shopify stores generated over $1 million in revenue. That year marked the beginning of my personal brand and my role in the Viral Ecom Team. Now, I'm excited to build a community with you all. We're moving from Discord to a more professional platform like Skool. Let's embark on this journey together. Cheers to new beginnings!
