7 Reason Why I See Entrepreneurs Failing

1. Thinking You Can’t
   Successful entrepreneurs don’t have a ‘magic ability’. Instead of thinking that you can’t, focus on what you can learn from these successful people and how you can duplicate their ways fit to your situation, of course.

2. Taking
You should give value. New entrepreneurs tend to take from every interaction they get. If you want to make money, you should be putting a product out there that people would want instead of their money. Remember, don’t lead with taking, lead with value.

3. Focusing On The Negatives
When you’re starting out on a business, don’t focus too much on the negatives. Get inspired and try to learn why successful people are successful.

4. Scarce Mindset
When you’re in this fear mindset, in this survival mode mindset, your brain is not working optimally. The first step is to get out of that survival mode. The goal is to get enough money in your bank so that you’re not in this fear mode of thinking. For some people who have a lot of money saved up, just realize that you’re going to be okay.

5. Asking Simple Questions
Some entrepreneurs fail at answering simple questions they could easily search in google. Instead, figure out everything you can on your own. When you get stuck, that’s the time you ask help.

6. Not Learning From Other People
Whatever you’re doing, someone has already done something very similar to it. Figure out what they did and learn from it. Figure out what they did step by step. Don’t just stop at watching videos, diversify your learnings. Read books and listen to audiobooks.

7. Thinking They Can Do It Alone
You can do it by yourself, but it’s so much easier to surround yourself with like-minded people. Their able to find things that are missing and they are able (more…)

Here’s the episode about Creating Unique Products and Amazon FBA Secrets

After going through one of the best weeks I’ve had, I had experienced a really bad week. In this vlog, I’ll show you ways that successful entrepreneurs don’t want you to know:

Focus On The Positives
Get Some Exercise
Meditate
Have a Routine
Take Everything Day to Day

Just remember that life has a lot of ups and downs, it’s the entrepreneurial journey that everybody goes through. Next time you’re in a purple zone, know that it’s part of the journey.

Want to know the most important thing I have done for my business? Hiring a VA. VA’s have TRIPLED my productivity and cost close to nothing to hire!

When you hire a VA, you triple your productivity for three different reasons:

Time Wasting Tasks

When hiring a VA, you’ll find yourself choosing which tasks you would give them and which tasks you would keep doing yourself. Then you find out that there are tasks where you wouldn’t pay someone $2-$3 an hour. So why are you doing it? Realizing these tasks and stopping it would save you a lot of time and money.

Better Systems

When you’re giving tasks, you’ll have to explain to them how to do them. What I personally do, is I do screen recordings to explain it better. Other people have different methods such as typing out step by step how to complete a task. As you’re explaining the steps, you’ll realize that there are certain steps that aren’t necessary. If they aren’t necessary, they could also be automated by a program like Zapier, IFTTT, MailChimp, and Google Script.

They’re Better Than You

It’s hard to believe, but there are people who are better than you at specific tasks, and they’re for hire. As a business owner, you’re not suppose to be an expert at every task. You need to know what tasks to delegate and who to delegate to. My VA, Dan, edits my videos for me. He can do tasks that would take me ten hours in just two hours. I have my VA’s edit videos, respond to emails, do social media work, and write blog posts.

By delegating tasks to your VA’s, your brain just works better. You don’t have to learn everything for every task, you’ll be able to be the commander of your business.

How (more…)

Don’t do dropshipping! I have seen a lot of YouTubers who promote DropShipping as a way to get a lot of money quickly but the truth is, it’s not. You really have to work your butt off to get money from drop shipping. Let’s be honest, as long as you hustle and work very hard, you can make money off of anything. Today, I’ll share with you a way to make money that I wish more YouTubers would share. But before that, let’s talk about dropshipping:

Pros

1. Doesn’t cost much. You won’t need a lot of money to start with Dropshipping.

Cons

1. Doesn’t cost much. This is also a con because it’s easy for anyone to start up and replicate your store, now you have competition and the sales will be split to 50/50.
2. Manufacturers can cut you off at any time.
3. There is nothing special about you. Another bigger better person can come into space and beat you.

People do pay for value, and by being the middleman, you are putting some value in the world. You are connecting the buyer and the seller. But there are better ways to put value into the world. So how do you add value to the world?

One of the easy ways to get around it is to take something you’re passionate about and create something that does not exist yet that you personally wish it did. Don’t be a dropshipper, be a product creator.

Which one should you use? Shopify or Woo Commerce? 95% of you say that the other one is better. I personally use both and in this video I’ll be comparing which platform is better.

Shopify

Pros
-Shopify has better templates. Though some argue that Woo Commerce has better templates, most people would prefer Shopify templates.
-It is much easier to use. However, if you are a much more technical person, you might find Woo Commerce easier to use. But, if you are not, you’ll find Shopify easier to use. I do have a video wherein I have set up a —Shopify account in just 4 minutes, you can check out the video here: [4min Shopify Video]
-Shopify has better addons and apps.
-Better Integration, Shopify seems to integrate almost anything. Which is a plus for marketing your shop.
-Shopify has a more innovative team.
-They have a 24/7 support team.
-Less Can Go Wrong

Cons
It is more expensive, it is priced at around $30 per month, though the price is worth it.
High risk people would would might get shut down.
There is a fee if you use third party payment gateway.

Woo Commerce

Pros
-Cheaper compared to Shopify. You can get Woo Commerce for around $10 more or less while Shopify is priced at $30.
-It has an open source which lets you get creative and edit your shop’s code.
-It won’t shut you down. Unlike with Shopify, if you are living in a high-risk area or are selling high-risk items, Shopify may shut you down. Woo Commerce won’t.
-It is great for blogging with WordPress. It’s actually a plug in for WordPress.

Cons
-You would most likely experience Technical Problems, since it uses open source.
-It has less integrations compared to Shopify.
-It is very piecemeal, you would have to buy some add-ons.

-So which is better? Basing from 200-300 ecommerce entrepreneurs I know, only 2 use Woo Commerce. For 95% of (more…)
