If you struggle with confidence, stop "working on confidence".

Instead:
> lift weights
> play a sport
> focus on working towards a financial goal
> embrace awkward moments in social situations

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Happiness is not found in pure hedonism.

You need to always be working towards a goal. This work makes the hedonism much more pleasurable too.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Building a business requires daily work with no guaranteed results.

Are you willing to work under those circumstances? Some people really are better of with a job.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Stop worrying about shipping times when dropshipping.

It's not ideal, but you can't change it. Focus on what you can control.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Dropshipping isn't for everyone.

There are tons of business models that work. Dropshipping is no better or worse than any of them - it comes down to your own unique skills & interests.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Everyone should run an online side-hustle.

Those give you most of the upside to running your own business with fewer of the negatives

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Stop glorifying entrepreneurship.

Running your own business is harder than working a job. It's not for everyone.

Those who are cut out for it will love it, but they represent a small fraction of the population.

> You will work longer hours if you have your own business.
> You have less security working for yourself.
> You are likely to have financial difficulties at some point.
> You will lose time with friends, family and lots of sleep

Is it really worth it to YOU? Be honest.

Never quit a job / school unless you've already built up a substantial online income.

If you weren't able to do it while working a job, you're an arrogant SOB to think you'll manage after quitting.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Some people thrive when they have their backs to the wall and have to succeed.

But oftentimes, you'll find even they were working on their businesses long before they put their backs to the wall by quitting the regular paycheck.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Amazon will always have faster shipping than your dropshipping store.

You need to beat them with superior marketing - not price or shipping times.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

You don't need to buy the products you dropship, but it might make sense once you have a winning product.

Test first so that you aren't wasting your time on losing products

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Dropshipping is about failing on a small scale & succeeding on a large scale.

Lose $50 a few times, then make $3000 on a winning product.

You can afford to fail regularly.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Forget about Amazon. You aren't competing with Amazon because your customers ARE NOT price-comparers.

As a dropshipper, you want to target impulse-buyers with good marketing.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Your growth will always be slow at first when starting an online business.

Embrace it, but don't stick to things that simply aren't working.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Quitting your job will help you take your business from $2k per month to $10k and beyond.

But you must get to that initial level while working a job.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Passive income is great, but not for the reason most people think...

It's not about being able to sit on a beach or chase girls all day & night.

It's about being able to focus on learning new skills and building new businesses with the extra TIME & CASHFLOW

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Only listen to advice after you've considered it, weighed it against your own experiences & decided that it seems plausible.

The fancy car in the background or the $1k/day revenue screenshots should have no influence on whether you take someone's advice.

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

Take a break from working to enjoy the first days of spring.

Go outside for a walk or sit in the sun with a good book.

You'll come back re-vitalized and ready to build your dream business

[Blue Ocean E-Commerce @BlueOceanEcomm]

You can add new businesses after a while, but never jump into multiple things you've never done at once.
