I got lawyers to engage and a company to make a full risk assessment of my Business to get PayPal reinstated, IT WORKED!

@AnthonyEclipse Test 5 products daily, if cpc was above 1 dollar at 10 dollars spend i had to kill the campaign.
I tested 400+ products and was told to keep doing the same shit
Your favorite "gurus" are all just trying to take your money. The real sauce, most of the time, is on YouTube from the guys who get a couple of hundred/thousand views.
The more I play this ecom game. The faster I can spot the guys who actually know their shit and the ones who just want to seem like it.
That said, I'm always trying to invest in coaching and communities because I believe that getting to the next level can go 10x faster if you have people who are already where you want to be.
You just have to find the right ones.
I'm honestly tired of all the "FASHION", "CLOSURE SALE", "TEST 5 PRODUCTS DAILY" mindset group.
Don't get me started with the blackhat MRR guys who sell pills filled with corn starch (iykyk) that cure cancer and give you a bigger pipi.
Where can I find the Operators who are trying to build brands that provide real value and impact to the world?
Would love to chat with some of you guys.

You know, it takes a lot of energy to stay small.
To bite your tongue when you know you have more to say.
To play down your wins so other people don’t feel uncomfortable.
To aim lower than you’re capable of so you don’t attract attention, judgment, or responsibility.
Staying small isn’t passive, it's not easy, it’s real work.
It’s constant self-editing. Constant justification. Constant negotiating with the part of you that knows you could do more, build more, become more.
Playing small doesn’t actually protect you, it just drains you, because that energy has to go somewhere.
We both know, if it’s not being used to create, it’s being used to suppress, and if it’s not being used to build, it’s being used to manage fear, doubt, and other people’s expectations.
Do you ever wake up with low-grade exhaustion? Do you go about your day with quiet frustration, and do you ever get a sense of “I should be further than this”?
That’s the cost of playing small.
Growth takes work, but so does being small.
At some point on your journey, just the moment before you give up, you'll realize that it takes less energy to be who you actually are than to keep pretending you’re not.
And in that moment you stop trying to be small, you'll become honest with yourself and with what you're truly capable of.
So make today, the day you realize the only reason you're not where you want to be is because you chose to remain small, and once you do that, you'll realize that you also have the choice to play big.
We only have one life to live, make it count, make it worth something, make it memorable, make it amazing, make it into a story that's going to be read for 1,000 years.

As we come to the end of the year, one of the most profound lessons in mindset I've ever discovered is that the mind only looks at reality in two ways: the loss and the gain.
Loss leads to greater loss and gain leads to greater gain.
Loss leads to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to violence, if not against others, but against ourselves and to part of ourselves.
Negative self-talk, judgment, pessimism, limitations, and every other negative, harmful thing we can do to ourselves are the actual sins of the mind.
Gain leads to self-love, acceptance, optimism, expansion, and every other positive thing we can do for ourselves; this is God's true love.
So as the year ends, I want you to do make a little mental shift in your mind, and everything you do that's going to marshal all the creative forces in the universe to help you get what you want.
Never look at anything as an ending, but rather a new beginning.
Ending closes, beginning opens.
Ending stops further growth, beginning creates it.
Ending kills all creativity, beginning marshals all the creative forces within and without to help us get what we want.
Life force is powerful in the beginning, and nonexistent in the end.
That's the cycle of life and death, and yet it also works just the same in the mind.
Life force is the key to creativity and manifestation.
So never look at anything as an ending, but rather a new beginning.
Don't look at 2025 as the ending; look at 2026 as the new beginning.
Apply this to every area of your life and watch the magick it brings into your life.
I hope you had a merry Christmas and wish you a happy New Year's.

Successful Black Friday yesterday. It's crazy what you can accomplish if you just focus on a single thing consistently for a year.
Last year was my first year in ecom, and I barely did any numbers in Q4. This year, I'm ending it off as the market leader in one of my markets.

Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your support and guidance. I will be forever grateful to you guys.
ECOM can be cruel sometimes, but as long as you keep stepping up, the rewards are UNBELIEVABLE.
