You may or may not have heard of this, 13 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: but let me help you out a little bit here. 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: First off, the actual definition of drop shipping is when 15 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: you move goods from the manufacturer directly to the tailor 16 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: without going through the usual distribution channels. You are basically 17 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: the middleman from the distributor and purchaser. Got it not yet? Okay, 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: you are the target the Walmart people come to buy 19 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: the product from you. Don't worry. It took me a minute. Also, 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: and if you had it already, congrats, Boo, you are 21 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: ready for this episode. It's a business tactic and today 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: we have the drop Shipping Queen herself, Chelsea Guadiero a 23 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: k a. Honey Goold. She's a business coach, motivational speaker, 24 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: and the CEO of her own drop shipping company. She 25 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: works for herself and she is her own boss, building 26 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: an empire making seven figures. How did she get here? 27 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now. It wasn't an easy, breezy journey. 28 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: She fought through various struggles and even overcame one of 29 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: the most difficult moments of her life, her partner being 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: sent to jail. You'll hear Elsie and I chat as 31 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: she guides us through her fascinating journey. She started out 32 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: hustling and working as a makeup artist, working fourteen hour 33 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: days for celebrities day in and day out, and she 34 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: hit a moment where she said, I want someone to 35 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: do my makeup. I want to own my own private jet, 36 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: I want to run my own schedule. I want to 37 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: make money to have time for my kids and my marriage. 38 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: And that's what Chelsea did. She gets real and dives 39 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: deep about her love life, how her partner ended up 40 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: in the system and how they overcame obstacles that come 41 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: along with those difficulties. You'll hear also how a trip 42 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: to the library change their lives forever, and how drop 43 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: shipping found them. One thing that I really enjoyed about 44 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: my conversation with Chelsea was her determination to end her 45 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: struggle when she was at her lowest. She found something 46 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: that she believed wholeheartedly that she could do and do well. 47 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: She looked at what life had given her, and she 48 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: made a whole Michelin star recipe, how can you not 49 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: be inspired by that? I've been in some pretty dark 50 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: and low places myself very dark and very low, and 51 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: those moments have always given me the best results. I 52 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: share something with Chelsea. I share that drive that I 53 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: get when I'm under pressure. Listening to this convo reminded 54 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: me of that, and I honestly gave myself a pat 55 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: on the back, because sometimes when you get past those moments, 56 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: you can really forget all that you've gone through and 57 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: how much of a badass you actually really are. I 58 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: hope this episode reminds you of the badass you are 59 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: or the badass you are becoming. For now, let's listen 60 00:03:52,920 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: to this badass boss Baine beat them. Chelsea has officially 61 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: entered the Mona Meet that Room.

Absolutely, 63 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: we're so excited to finally get you in the room. 64 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: Just to give the listeners a little insight. Actually, when 65 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: a Chelsea's friends reach out to me and literally was like, 66 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: you have to have my girl on your show and 67 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: she's amazing and she's Latin it and you guys have 68 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: to like connect and get to know each other. So 69 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: I love that somebody vouched for you and literally was like, 70 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: my sis needs to be on your show because that's 71 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: also like what this whole thing is about. That's wild. Um, 72 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: I didn't even know that, but I am did you 73 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: not know that? I didn't know. I don't think I 74 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: knew that. Yeah, that people are like people are vetting 75 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: for you, and I was like looking into you and 76 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: I was like, I think that this girl is super interesting. 77 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: And then also I got a chance to talk to 78 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: you and get to know you a little bit more 79 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: beyond social media platform. After getting to talk to you 80 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: and like discussing your story, I was even more inspired 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: just to like have you on the show, and I 82 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: think that you have a lot to offer. So, um, 83 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: I kind of discussed a little bit in your intro already, 84 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: But I guess for the people out there who don't 85 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: know what it is that you do, what is drop shipping? 86 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: And how did you come across this? I guess I 87 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: can call it like phenomenon, like this thing, right that 88 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: is drop shipping. I mean that's kind of how I 89 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: how I look at it too. So drop shipping is 90 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: the way that online business owners choose to do the 91 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: fulfillment of their physical products. Um. So for me personally, UM, 92 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: I got into like how did I even discover this? 93 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, I was a celebrity makeup artist, but I 94 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: saw an amazing opportunity on the interne net and I 95 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: didn't realize that it was something that was going to 96 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: be the answer to everything that I was actually in 97 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: search of. Like my whole life, I've been such a 98 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: hard worker. I've had amazing work ethic. I've just worked 99 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: since I as soon as I could work, And um, 100 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: I thought it was always because of the money, but 101 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: really it was the freedom that I was after, And 102 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: so I realized, um, you know, in my late twenties, 103 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: when I discovered e commerce and drop shipping that this 104 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: was an amazing and lucrative income earning opportunity. But more 105 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: than that, because of the way that the structure of 106 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: the business model was, this was what was going to 107 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: give me the freedom that I was actually in search of, 108 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: and so it really stood out to me as an 109 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: amazing opportunity to just jump in and at least give 110 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: it a fair shot, because you don't need much to 111 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: get started. All you need is a working computer and 112 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 1: an internet connection if you can have those things. And 113 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: obviously I'm not one of those people that you know, 114 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: I don't like to like bs people. So yeah, you 115 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: can start a business with no money, but will it 116 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: actually go anywhere without any money? Probably not. So I 117 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: I had a little bit of a budget to get 118 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: started with. I was working actively, so I always had 119 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: money coming in, which was a blessing because that's what 120 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: allowed me to experiment and like be willing to give 121 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: this a fair shot. But drop shipping is just the 122 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: fulfillmentent method e commerce. We all are very familiar with. 123 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: It's just we may not know we are. But Amazon 124 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: dot Com, any type of online shopping is a form 125 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: of e commerce. And so anybody who would ever be 126 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: interested in in e commerce or starting a physical brick 127 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: and mortar boutique or anything like that. The only thing 128 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: different between what they are doing and what I'm doing 129 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: is that the fulfillment method, their method of getting their 130 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: products to their customer looks totally different than mine does. 131 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: Mine looks something like I hit two buttons on my 132 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: computer from wherever location I'm at, and the work is 133 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: really done for me. Um. Whereas when you are looking 134 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: at a traditional brick and mortar or physical products business, 135 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: you're typically the person that's handling the orders coming in, UM, 136 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: the shipping, the packaging, the labeling, the fulfillment process. And 137 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: that's the part that I was kind of daunted by, 138 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: like I don't want to do all of that, you know. 139 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: So this eliminates that and allows you to work from anywhere. 140 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: So how did this happen for you? And obviously I'm 141 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: pretty sure our listeners are like, well, being a celebrity 142 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: makeup artist is pretty dope as well. What was that 143 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: like and why did that transition take place into this? 144 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: And not only that, but how did somebody introduce you 145 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: to it? Is something that you just heard going around 146 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: good questions. So I was a very proud celebrity makeup artist, 147 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: very proud. I had worked my butt off since I 148 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: was sixteen years old. Mac cosin Medics was my dream job. 149 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: Like I was that girl, be a pitome Matt girl 150 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: that you think of when you think about Mac, like 151 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: be head, so like just on my and um, I 152 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: really wanted that position bad and I um got turned 153 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: down for years just I never got the opportunity to 154 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: actually be a Mac girl. Then um, finally I just 155 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: took it really serious and I relocated to Europe, where 156 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: I lived for about eight months with an ex boyfriend 157 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: of mine. And when things didn't work out and I 158 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: decided to come back to the United States, I called 159 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: my family, I called everybody, and I was like, listen, 160 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm not going back to work, like I'm going to 161 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: figure it out, but I'm gonna chase passion. Now I'm 162 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: going to be makeup artists. And they were just like 163 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: what you Listen, You just up and left, moved to Europe, 164 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: broke up with your longtime boyfriend, and now moved back, 165 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: and now you're calling us and tell as you're not 166 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: getting a job, like are you going nuts? And I'm 167 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: just listen. I'm ready for whatever it's coming my way. 168 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: Like I just know that whatever I just left is 169 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: not where it's at for me anymore, and I am 170 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: in search for something waight, It's different. And so I 171 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: was finally ready to just follow my heart and my 172 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: passion and really go full throttle with my craft as 173 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: a makeup artist. And I knew I could do it 174 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: UM with or without Matt, and so that's basically what 175 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: I did. I freelanced for a while, and then I 176 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: eventually got hired on as a makeup artist at MAC 177 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: Cosmas in Atlanta, and I it was my dream job. 178 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: I was the happiest girl to be working at nine 179 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: to five ever, because I was really doing something I 180 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: was passionate about and that I loved so much. And 181 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: so UM, I did that for about a year UM 182 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: loved Mac, met some celebrities through that UM network, and 183 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: it really just opened my eyes to like how big 184 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: things could get had I decided that makeup is something 185 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: that I really wanted to pursue long term. UM. And 186 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: so one day, you know, it finally really hit me 187 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: after being a makeup artist for a while for years. 188 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: At that point, how can I scale the part of 189 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: this business that I love the most because I want 190 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: just to do makeup all day every day. Because I 191 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: was a great worker. I was great, but I always 192 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: found the thing that I love to do. And then 193 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: I was just like, I just want to do what 194 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm good at. Can I just be the teller here? 195 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: Can I just be the fry girl here? Like I 196 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: don't want to do all the whole job, the extra 197 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: nests of it all. Yeah, And so for me, it 198 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: boiled down to how can I scale as a one 199 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: person team as a makeup artist? Like how can I 200 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: if I got booked for a hundred people right now 201 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: in all my favorite countries in the world, and I 202 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: would want to say yes to all of them, But 203 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: how would I be able to take on those gigs? 204 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: If that would happen to me, I would have to 205 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: settle for picking one gig. And that's when it really 206 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: hit me, like how can I how rich? Can I 207 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: actually get doing this? Because that that was always my 208 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: goal freedom being wealthy, like really becoming successful so I 209 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: could live my dream life. And I it just hit 210 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: me like a ton of bricks, like, well, I don't 211 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: think that it's possible. I can only make but so 212 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: much money doing what I'm doing. I can only take 213 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: certain I'm on the clients today. And then as I 214 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: got more popular, now my clients want me on set 215 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: with them twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen hours a day, and yeah, 216 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: the money is decent, but it didn't allow me to 217 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: do anything else. So I'm like, you know, this is 218 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: just showing me that, Like I this was a great 219 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,359 Speaker 1: young twenties, teenaged career, but as my goals and aspiration 220 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: as a woman began to like develop, and I decided 221 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a mother and a wife, and 222 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: I just wanted to explore that. Now at twenty seven 223 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: years old, I'm just like, yeah, the makeup thing, I 224 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna work out much longer. It was 225 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: time for me to pivot because I was ready for 226 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: that next level. And I think I've really attribute a 227 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: lot of that does higher to my clients, because before 228 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: I had celebrity clients, all I knew was the struggle honestly, 229 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: Like I didn't have any friends that were well off 230 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: or anything like that. Like we were all just normal girls, 231 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: normal guys, and it just was constantly on my shoulders 232 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: of like Damn. I have my job that I go 233 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: to where my clients are at least they are perceived wealthy, 234 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like they have that life, 235 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: that entertainment rich girl lifestyle. And I think so thankful 236 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: that I was exposed, even if it was entertainment, at 237 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: least I got a taste of what that even looks 238 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: and feels like to act like it, to sit in 239 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: the cars and to sit on the planes, and just 240 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: access to things that I never would have had access 241 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: to ever. Really just let me set the bar higher 242 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: for myself, because I realized, like, wait, we're the same, 243 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: like if they could do this right, and you're also 244 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: you're walking in the room and you're like, I'm doing 245 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: makeup for these people. I'm I'm spending thirteen fourteen hours 246 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: on and listen, like especially if you're on sets and 247 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: things like that, if most of your your week is 248 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: being spent there, so it's like you're you're giving, your giving, 249 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: your giving, and then you're like, wait a second, where 250 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: is this coming for me? So I completely understand that 251 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: mentality of actually, I don't want to be the girl 252 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: that's hustling all the time and spending fourteen hours and 253 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: fifteen hours. How do you work smarter not harder? That's 254 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, And I think that that's something that 255 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: we all can relate to, especially me being in my 256 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: thirties and also like thinking about motherhood and family and 257 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to be fourteen hours every day doing 258 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: the hustle grind. I want to work smarter, not harder. 259 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: So drop shipping comes in for you how and where 260 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: in make a time?

It's someone that you've actually 269 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: known for like I think at the time, like seven 270 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: plus years. So talk about ready. Okay, I'll just give 271 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: that story really quick. So me and my guys we 272 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: were best friends in Atlanta is where we met. Um 273 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: I was always in a relationship, like I told you, 274 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: I was living overseas, so he knew that boyfriend. They 275 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: were cool, both from Chicago, and he was just such 276 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: an organic and genuine good person, and you know, it 277 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: was just a real good friend to me. And because 278 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: I was in a long bustinance relationship, it did allow 279 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: me to build that bond in connection with him that 280 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: I was so grateful for because it lasted for years 281 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: just platonic friends. Um. But you know, like so many 282 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: guys in our communities who don't have positive outlets and 283 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: just have the right resources and information, a lot of 284 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: times you go down the wrong path in life. And 285 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: so that's exactly what he ended up doing, making some 286 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: really bad decisions that landed him in prison for a 287 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: couple of years. And during that time, you know, we 288 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: just continued to be being friends and talking and emailing 289 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: and all those things, and we just continue to nurture 290 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: our friendship. And the day he came home from prison, um, 291 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, that week, his twin had hit me up 292 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: and was like, guess what, Like, he's relocating in l 293 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: a And I'm like, no way, He's gonna be out 294 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: here with us. And so it was just great because 295 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: I was in l a UM at the time, I 296 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: had just moved from Atlanta to um California to pursue 297 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: makeup full time, and so this is perfect that all 298 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: aligned and we were literally attached to the hip together 299 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: ever since and it's six years now, so um yeah, 300 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: it was amazing. I was ready for me and him 301 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: to go from being friends to real partners, real family 302 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: and just elevate. I was ready to elevate, and I 303 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: wasn't prepared to have to slow down due to his circumstance, 304 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: I think is what it really boiled down to. I 305 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: used his circumstance as major fuel to be like, Okay, no, 306 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 1: we don't have no time to settle and let you 307 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: get too comfortable in this weird little limbo position. We 308 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: are going to figure this out. And we tried everything, 309 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: and then finally at the library one day, I'm not gonna. 310 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: I was feeling very defeated. My optimism was starting to 311 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: wear a little bit low, and I was really feeling 312 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: discouraged and really kind of like, what the hell did 313 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: I do? Like me following my heart has never really 314 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: proved to be a good thing for me. I'm not gonna, 315 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, in my life, me following my heart has 316 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: really set me back a lot, and it really for 317 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: the first tis well we've all been there. I found that, 318 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: so it kind of just did plague me, like did 319 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: I do this again? And then sure enough, like God 320 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: just gave us our sign. And I'm so thankful that 321 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: we just kept going long enough to see that sign 322 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: God just gave me. I don't know how he like 323 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: led me to this little book. It was probably like 324 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: a hundred pages and it's just a pamphlet like it 325 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: was a manual and it was like a thousand different 326 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: ways to make money from home or something like that, 327 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: or as your own boss something like that. And I 328 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 1: was just like, wow, okay, let me check. I guess 329 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: this is the book for me.

Now, I just 412 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: want to be clear because we are on a podcast, 413 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: and I don't want anybody to take anything and run 414 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: with it the wrong way. I'm way past the whole 415 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: ride er die like like we over those days, okay, 416 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: it's past that past trauma were growing. I guess it 417 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: began at a difficult point, but we didn't look fast. 418 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: We didn't let that become our reality at all. So 419 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: that part was okay, you know, But it was the 420 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: more of the emotional and mental stress of like is 421 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 1: my man gonna go to the gas station and come home? 422 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, Like you just think of everything and 423 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: you start to get so paranoid if it could all 424 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: be thrown away due to something beyond my control and 425 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: maybe even his controls. So big time paranoia, anxiety, um, 426 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: and just hoping you pray that the path that God 427 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: has you, guys on, is strong enough to withstand keeping 428 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: him walking a straight line. Um. And just the women, 429 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: you know, we just take on so much. Um, we 430 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: take on so much for the people that we love, 431 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: and I just think it's in most of our nature 432 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: to do so. And that's why it's so important to 433 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: make sure that you're loving on the right person and 434 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: someone who truly has your back in the same way. 435 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: The burden was very very heavy, and you know that's 436 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 1: something that I hope, um, he never will forget. Not 437 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: that I want to like rub it in his face 438 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 1: or anything, but as women, I think sometimes guys, you know, 439 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: it is easy for them to take certain things for granted. 440 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: And it's also as women, you know, like that's something 441 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: I think that we just deal with as a whole, 442 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: and especially at Latin in women of color, even if 443 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: you want to go deeper, you know, that's even something 444 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: that it's like we're supposed to deal with the struggle, right, 445 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: Like we're supposed to be able to deal with like 446 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: all of the way and be strong and all of that, 447 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: and it's it's not that, you know, and then they 448 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: wonder why, you know, we're so alpha or we're so hardened, 449 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: and it's just like, well, look at what society has 450 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: put upon us as mothers and women. It's hard to 451 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: be so soft and so feminine when you have to 452 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: also survive and always be thinking ten steps ahead and 453 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: always just be planning for worst case scenarios. It's very 454 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: very hard to let that that, you know, um, that 455 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: walled down, Yeah, that hard shell. But it's just amazing 456 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 1: to see that when you have the right support in 457 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: your life and when you have the right mindset, when 458 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: you have the right goals and like the fire behind them, 459 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: two millionaires were created in five years in in in 460 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: a period where we were meant to be destroyed, and 461 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: it's like now it's paying off more than ever and 462 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm just so grateful that we've both held on. You know, 463 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: the one thing that I really love about what you do, 464 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: You guys have gotten knowledge for something, and not only that, 465 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: but you're sharing you're sharing it within the community, and 466 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: I think that that's like the that's always like the 467 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: most rewarding, right. Not only that, but like you're trying 468 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: to spread the word and trying to show that it's 469 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: possible no matter where you come from. No matter what 470 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: background you are, it's possible and it's doable. And I 471 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: want to applaud you for that, because also it's hard 472 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: to go through those struggles and to come out and say, 473 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to share this with somebody 474 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: and give back in that kind of way. I am 475 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: very curious for your answer for this, because I was 476 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: so empowered by your story when I first met you 477 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: that naturally, I've talked about you multiple times and there 478 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: seems to be this um energy about drop shipping that 479 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: it can also be like this pyramid scheme or doesn't 480 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: really work, or it's lies and this and that. What 481 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,719 Speaker 1: do you have to say towards those things? And of 482 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: course like these are things that are risks, and it 483 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: works for some people and it doesn't work for some people. 484 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: Some people have it and some people don't. I'm curious 485 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: for you, what do you say to people who are like, 486 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: this is not real. You're obviously living and breathing it. 487 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: It's making sense, you're out here teaching it, you're doing it. Yeah, 488 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, great question. First of all, um, all 489 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: of those things are like objections that I hear about 490 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: all the time. Um, you know, and their valid concerns, 491 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: especially with the Internet and being and all the food, 492 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 1: the craziness that comes a home day. It's like we 493 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: don't know what is what these days. So I'm never 494 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: mad at this question. Um, what I will say is 495 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: that I don't agree that drop shipping or business just 496 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: works for some people. I don't agree with that. I 497 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: think that business is very predictable when done right, when 498 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: you implement certain things, certain improven systems, um certain improven 499 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: strategies into your daily processes for your business. I feel 500 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: like it's just a matter of time. I feel like 501 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: when things don't work out in business, it's simply because 502 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: you did not test enough. You just didn't give it 503 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: enough time. Um, business relies on it's a numbers game, 504 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: it's a data game, it's an analysis game, it's a 505 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 1: be patient game. And that's where most new entrepreneurs just 506 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: simply fall short. But I don't think that God just selects, oh, 507 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: you you are going to be the millionaires and drop 508 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: to be or in whatever, like you're gonna be blessed, 509 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna struggle. That's it. No, And I honestly used 510 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: to think that though, No, that is not meant for me. 511 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: I that's Cardi B, that's j Lo. Yeah, we're from 512 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: the same whatever, but like it's just different though, It's 513 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: just it's not different. If I had the same type 514 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: of team that Cardi had, and I moved in her 515 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: footsteps and showed up at those places and did X, 516 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: Y and Z, chances are I could if I This 517 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: is kind of weird compared to a person because it's like, well, 518 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: you don't act like Cardi B. You're not her personality. 519 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: But if she gave me the blueprint, the Cardi B 520 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: blueprint to act like her and to talk like her 521 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: and move dance like her to that, then you can't 522 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: tell me that it would have only worked for her 523 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: and it wouldn't have worked for me. If I would 524 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: have went to all the same past things and all 525 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: the no it would have worked out the same way. 526 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: It's just people fall short because they start giving into 527 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: the mindsets and all the naysayers and things like that 528 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 1: before things take off, and then they're like, damn, maybe 529 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: it was a pint a pyramid scheme, like because it's 530 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: not working yet, so it becomes more believable, like, yeah, 531 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: maybe you are right, maybe it is a scamp because 532 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: I've been in this for two months and I haven't 533 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: made you know, a lot of money yet, and so 534 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, but month three could have been your 535 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: kicker month, like your kickoff month. Month three could have 536 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: been your winning products you've only tested to The average 537 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: drop shipper has to test about ten before they ever 538 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: find their first winner. So just think about all the 539 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: people that drop off from one to ten. That that's 540 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: a lot of nose to get one yes. And if 541 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: you're not built to withstand a no, if you've never 542 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: heard a note before, then the first time you've failed, 543 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: you think you failed the whole time. It's like, girl, 544 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: you've tested one product, you did not fail, like you 545 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: have you barely whats the entire for? Like, come on, um, 546 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: but as far as you know, pyramid schemes and things 547 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: like that go. Um. The only people that confused drop 548 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: shipping with pyramid schemes or Ponzi schemes is people who 549 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: don't just understand at all what it is because that's 550 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: there's no structure. If there's that's not how it's structured 551 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,719 Speaker 1: at all. Um commerce and drop shipping is literally just 552 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: a middleman. So how it works is if you know 553 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: there's a pen here that I know I bought it 554 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: for a dollar, and I know that you just are 555 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: loving this pink pen so much. I heard you talking 556 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: about a pink pen. I can tell by the way 557 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: you were talking about it that you would spend your 558 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: last twenty dollars on it. And I know that I 559 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: got it for a dollar, and to me, I could 560 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: care less about this little pen. But I heard you 561 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: saying that you were willing to give your left arm 562 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: for this pen. So I'm not going to charge you 563 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: a dollar. I might not charge you to twenty either, 564 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: but I'm going to charge you more than what I 565 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: paid because I know I can't write like I can. 566 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with it. It's not a scam, it's 567 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: not anything bad, because that's what when you go to Walmart, 568 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: the shelves are stocked with products that are ten times 569 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: the amount that Walmart paid to have the product there. 570 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: So this is just a normal, uh, part of business. 571 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: This is what business has built been built upon. You 572 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: buy for low, you sell for high. This is just 573 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: what business is, right. We didn't make that up. The 574 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: glory thing about drop shipping like the real what makes 575 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: it like lead a minute, is that even is because 576 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: that pen that I just sold to you, I didn't 577 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,719 Speaker 1: actually have to buy the pen to be able to 578 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: get the pen to you when you bought it from me. Okay. 579 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: So that's where sometimes people are just like, wait, what 580 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: the what? So I sold you something that I did 581 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: not have in my possession. M hmm. There's nothing wrong 582 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: with that because it's at the warehouse. It's it's just 583 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: not at my house. It's at the warehouse. It's over 584 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: season China. Somebody is watching over your product, your pen 585 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: that you want. You bought it from my website, but 586 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: my supplier out in China is who's going to actually 587 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: deliver it for you. And that's total and that's our business, 588 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: and that's fine. I give him how much money he 589 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: wants for the pen. He wants a dollar for it, 590 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him his dollar, but you're giving me 591 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: ten dollars for it, and that profit right my profit 592 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: to keep because I'm the one that made the sale. 593 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: He didn't make the sale. I made the sale, so 594 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 1: that's my money. But I'm gonna give him his dollar 595 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: and now he's gonna fulfill it and ship it to 596 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 1: your front door. So the Ponzo scheme or the pyramid 597 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: scheme that all those things are very real things that 598 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: exist out here, and there's a lot of business models 599 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: that are structured that way, where there's one or a 600 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 1: few people at the top, and then the people at 601 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: the bottom are all recruiting with the hopes of moving 602 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: up to one day being at this level. But see 603 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: with this, this is just not that type of business. 604 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: There's no other people involved in this other than the 605 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: person buying the pen from you. You the business owner 606 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: who owns the online business that sells the pen, and 607 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: then you have your supplier who's making it all possible. 608 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: He's going to deliver it to make a customer happy. 609 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 1: So all three parties involved are happy. Um, just as 610 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: if you walk into Walmart and bought a product and 611 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: then brought it to you like the same thing, right, 612 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: they got it from somewhere. They're selling it and the 613 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: person is buying it. All I am doing is as 614 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: the person who has the knowledge and the experience. I 615 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: am the person who is teaching this education to people 616 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: in my communities. However, I'm not at the top of anything. 617 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: I'm just an instructor giving you the information. So if 618 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: you go on to make a million dollars. I don't 619 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: make nothing on that at all. If you go on 620 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: to make negative a million dollars, I don't, that doesn't 621 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: affect me at all either. I'm just providing you the 622 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: education that and the skills, the UM, the resources, all 623 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: of my resources that have helped me get to where 624 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: I'm at is what I give to you. UM. So 625 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: whenever I get those um questions, it's just a matter 626 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: of me just really explaining that there are a lot 627 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,959 Speaker 1: of Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes. I've fallen into them too, 628 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: this just is not one of them. The only person 629 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: that can control your gains or losses in this business 630 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: is really the person in charge.
