Adam:

The highest revenue day so far was 22,000 pound

James Eardley:

Why did you decide to start your own business?

Adam:

I wanted more from myself. I felt like I had more to give. I was exhausted at the time. I could see it going anywhere. That's what I was really excited about this program, because I could see a lifestyle that not just benefited me, but everyone else around me as well.

James Eardley:

Talk to us now about some numbers.

Adam:

The total revenue to date we've been trading properly for eight months is VA and got full year yet is 307,000 pounds. I previously had a part time job while my business was making sales and doing well, I just quit that job.

James Eardley:

So if you're ready to build your own six or even seven figure online business, then head over to dropship unlocked.com forward slash, start now. Sit back, relax, and let's unlock your potential with the dropship unlocked podcast. In today's episode, it's time to highlight an incredible success story of one of our members inside the drop ship unlocked masterclass. We're joined today by Adam. He started his E commerce journey relatively recently, and has already achieved some remarkable results. So I think you can really enjoy this one. You'll see that Adam's a great guy. He's exactly the kind of member that we love having at dropship unlock. So if you've ever wondered what it's like to go from a standing start to hitting 300,000 pounds or more in sales in just an eight month period of time with a new business, and having days of hitting 22,000 pounds in sales single days where he's earning double the profit in a single day than he'd earned in his previous job and an entire month. Then I think you're gonna love today's episode. So with that said, let's dive into the conversation with Adam. Is there? Adam? Welcome to the dropship unlocked podcast. And wanted to start off by asking you to take us back a little bit in time, if you could before you joined dropship unlocked and let us know what was life like back then, and why did you decide to start your own business? What were you doing? Oh,

Adam:

that is a good question. That's a bit of a blast from the past that one. So take myself back before I started the program and set up a business, I was working in a very busy hospital. Had two roles there in the hospital, very busy and, yeah, that was a very different time for me. I hadn't even set up the business or even join the course. Yet,

James Eardley:

what did, what did a day look like back then you say, two roles in a hospital? What can you do? What was there a typical day in the life of if you can Adam,

Adam:

wow. So it would be me sat in a very dark office. They had to build a new adult building. So they had to put wooden boards all over our windows, which was brilliant. So pick yourself the dark office downstairs. Just me. We used to work in cancer research, so we used to have to travel across different sites. So go to different hospitals, talk to patients, long day, probably 1012, hours, and then we're talking two hours on the bus to there and back of works around 14 hour days. Yeah, it's very different industry. It's very difficult. And I used a lot of my time, a lot of my just daily time that I'd use with friends, people, family I care about was just kind of at work, really, and that, yeah, didn't really sit well.

James Eardley:

Must have felt exhausted at the end of a 14 hour day, so 10 to 12 hours of work time and then a two hour bus journey, commuting. Wise Man, how would you feel at the end of a day like that? It

Adam:

was exhausting, like it was in some cases, it could be quite rewarding, but it was just tiring, like your whole time as a person was spent serving someone else or serving other people. And, you know, rewarding in some ways, but yeah, it was just unsustainable. Was the issue. And after a few months of it, you start to your energy levels wear down. You can't do things you enjoy. You're a bit grumpy at the people around you. Sounds all very negative, but I apologize, but yeah, that was my that was my experience of the time and the place. Yeah, that's perfect for us to build up a picture of where you were at, what you were thinking mentally before you decided to get into dropship unlocked or start your own business. So could you pinpoint, was there a moment do you remember there being a bit of a breakthrough for you when you were in that role in your previous job where you knew that you had to do. Something, and you had to change the the life that you were living 100% I remember it very, very well. I think it was, it was the middle of winter, so I think we're around the end of November. It was very dark, and we'd had a lot of people leave the department. It was just me left, and there was huge expectations for me to help fill their roles as well. And I remember just sitting in this office thinking, I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if this is the life I want to live anymore. Late 20s. Always wanted to make a difference and do something new for myself. And yeah, that was a pivotal moment. I said, I have to do something today to make this change, otherwise this never gonna happen for me. Yeah, I remember that very well. I remember, it's raining, it was cold. I had to cycle on the bike across the city. It's a different hospital at like, 8pm you know? And I was like, an hour bus journey at 10pm home. And I was like, this is this is the day things change for me, I hope, yeah, it's great to be able to form that, that image of you in that cold, dark office space in the dark. And oftentimes what we notice is people get into businesses or get into dropship unlocks. When workplace attitudes change, we've heard that story before. There's a shift in work, and suddenly things can go downhill fast. So what were you feeling? Would you remember the feelings you were having? Did you feel worried about your future, or were you excited about a new change? What were the feelings that you were having, mate? That's a really good question. I had mixed emotions. I was excited about my future, but I was apprehensive, because I didn't know what direction it could go into. So I wasn't quite, I don't think I'd quite affiliated with the program yet. Um, I wasn't 100% aware of what you guys did and the support you had. So I was apprehensive, and I was worried about staying where I was. That was never an option. So I was in this middle place of a don't want to be here. What's my next chapter? What's my next journey? Yeah, you're kind

James Eardley:

of in in limbo, by the sound of it, and I can relate to that as well. I had a very similar moment where the like, you say that you remember the room you were in. I remember the conversation that was happening around me, and I remember that that time. And it doesn't happen like that for everybody, but it sounds like for you, it was quite similar to me, that there was a day, a moment, where you're like, okay, the scales have just tipped towards I'm doing something different now. So what was it about your situation that made you want to make that change? Right? Because I think a lot of people have bad days. A lot of people are probably doing jobs where they're working 14 hour days. But was there something that perhaps you were feeling a certain way about your life leading up to that point that caused those scales to shift in the direction of, okay, that's enough. I'm doing it.

Adam:

I think for myself, there was quite a few points going on. I was I wanted more from myself. I felt like I had more to give. I could learn more, be more, grow more, and I felt like I wasn't getting that in my job. I was exhausted at the time, so I was struggling with the tiredness and not fulfilling my potential. That was a big, big thing for me. And yeah, I could see it going anywhere. And I don't know, as you know, lots of people in the world now, we all kind of have our desires and our dreams and so forth. But this wasn't for me. And for the last few years, I was trying to build something so I couldn't see it going anywhere. And that's I was really excited about this program, because I could see a lifestyle that not just benefited me, but everyone else around me, as well as something I could continually learn and grow into. And that was the thing that really excited me. I really like to continually learn. And, yeah, there was a buffer barrier in any previous role. You know, there is no you always get to a feeling that can't really be surpassed. Yeah, I resonate with that feeling of not like you're not able to reach your full potential and the big goals that you had for yourself, but it's easy to just go year after year in the job that you maybe hadn't intentionally gone into, like myself, and you suddenly start to think, Well, how am I going to ever get to the goals I've got if I continue in this path? So definitely resonate with you on that now, Adam, you're a bit different to most people, though, because I think a lot of people in the people, when they have a bad time in their job, a lot of people's mindsets goes well, I'll get a new job. But you obviously were switched into, I want to learn more, I want to be more. I want to achieve more and more from life. So you decided maybe to go down the business route that would give you more freedom. Why do you think you were switched in that way to go towards growing more What do you think has grown in your life to that point to become somebody that wanted bigger aspirations, rather than just being okay with just getting a new job? I've had loads of jobs in my time. I could probably count, I think seven or eight. I've studied forensic science in the past. I've, you know. Worked for universities. I've worked in small shops, big retail stores, they all led to the same outcome. So for the first part of that question, that's why I didn't want to get another job, because I could just see the same cycle repeating itself, and I wanted to step out of that cycle. Secondly, I the way the world is and the way the economy is again. Every time I stepped up and got a new job, I earned more money, but then it never led to anything. I still couldn't buy my own house. I still couldn't, you know, do the two or three holidays a year that I wanted. Inflation was going up, and I think a big turning point as well, and I think it would have been, for a lot of people, was COVID, where really you do feel quite vulnerable and isolated, and at the time, obviously, kind of half working in the hospital. At the beginning, I wasn't you're kind of dependent on someone else to look after you and and that could be nice in some ways, but I didn't like that dependency. I wanted to be able to grow something so whatever the world brings me, turmoil, stress, you know, pandemics, I could weather it and move forward and create a system that, again, supports me and everyone else that's around me. No, I love that. It was, it was an awakening for me, I think, as well, actually, around that time in 2020 when we realized how fragile, potentially, the lives that we live are, and also how fragile the control we have over our lives can be as well. So that's probably some deep seated reasons as to why I felt like I wanted to take more control of my life and build my own business and have my own income, rather than being reliant on a job, like you're saying, in the types of jobs we were in beforehand. So you've clearly decided to shift. Then at that point you had that moment, what was the first thing you did to clue yourself up into starting a business? Do you remember what what really was the first reactions you were taking to shift yourself away from nine to five into becoming a business owner. Yeah, I remember very vividly I set up two small eBay stores to begin with. I tried to sell I tried to sell software. Originally, what great idea, buy software in bulk, sell it on. Didn't realize very quickly, need licenses to sell this stuff. So got a little bit of trouble with Microsoft. Never a nice, uh, nice, nice start to doing something. Bill Gates coming after you. Yeah, exactly. I was, I'm sure he's a very busy man. So he sent, uh, someone else to kind of, kind of deal with me. But it was a huge learning curve. And I thought, like, this is great. I really enjoyed that. I did make a little bit of money. It wasn't enough to pay my bills or anything like this, but it was like, Ah, got a lot to learn. Um, but that. Remember that first two steps, two eBay stores. I think you have one. I was sending game codes. So again, it's something you could automate. Struggle with this. You're very dependent on overseas pricing and licenses and how they decide to treat you. And I realized, okay, good start. This isn't a great framework. I'm kind of chucking guards really, and seeing what sticks. And I've seen hitting a lot of zeros. That's what I've put it. Yeah,

James Eardley:

with game codes, is that where you you purchase a code so that you can then download a game online without having to have the physical copy of the game. Is that? Is that what you mean? 100% Yeah. Okay, seeing those, yeah. So it sounds like, like you say throwing darts in the dark is a good metaphor there. How much time would you say you spent feeling like that, going down different rabbit holes and kind of not really knowing whether that would be the right path to get to where you wanted to be. I

Adam:

would say about three years, three and a half years, I was trying a few different ventures. Try, fail, go back to your job. You ignore it for three, four months, you start again. Um, yeah, but about three years I was trying, and I learned a lot, but didn't get very far.

James Eardley:

Yeah, so three years is a lot of time to to be, yeah, in that, that kind of limbo land, like you say, and it sounds like you learned some good things. But, I mean, where did you first find out about us? A job, ship, unlocked. What was your first interaction with us? Just

Adam:

interaction. I remember it very vividly, Lewis, I had a lovely advert from yourself on Facebook, Facebook, okay, yeah, it was, it was on Facebook. And, yeah, I remember that very well, because it it I tried to do drop shipping in the past. I tried to do game codes and so forth. And I remember you were talking about UK, UK selling UK products. And I thought this makes a lot more sense for me, there's definitely Facebook

James Eardley:

advert, right? So I get a lot of Facebook adverts. I see a lot of strange people on the internet trying to sell me things. You must have been hesitant, and you must have been skeptical when you first saw that, like anyone would be. So talk us through that. Like, what's what first goes through your mind when you see an ad like that and you think, okay, here we go. What's this guy gonna try and sell

Adam:

another guy, another guru? Yeah, trying to sell me his process and so forth. Well, I have, I have seen a lot of adverts like you say to different things. I've read a lot from all over the world, different entrepreneurs doing stuff. And one it was the fact that you've done it yourself. So that's a big key for me, whenever looking for mentorship on someone to help you, someone that's done it is, you know, it has to be, you can't take advice from someone who's never been in that industry. So I know you'd Thank you very much, by the way, done all the hard work for us and, you know, paved the paved the way to work out all the kinks and the problems, the fact you've done it yourself, you'd shown it works, you'd validated it, and then you'd create a framework for other people. It was two other points, the fact that you said you wanted to do UK products, it felt like such a legitimate business than from buying broads, not, you know, diminishing products sold for many countries, but buying stuff from abroad where you don't know what's going on, you don't know the quality, don't know the licenses, you don't know delivery times. And the third point was the fact you were talking about selling high end goods. Again, I've been in the position before of trying to sell 2030, game codes a day to try and make some money. I was like, Oh, actually, I could sell one or two high end items and make more than doing 30 small items. It's less happening. I get much better connection with our customers and make a little bit more money. It was, it was triple win for me, win, win,

James Eardley:

win, as I say, so that, okay, that's interesting. So it was personal experience UK versus products from abroad, and high ticket, meaning a lower volume of sales. Those are the three things then that that changed your mind, because when you see this stuff, you have to put this through some kind of mental filter, otherwise you'd just be buying everything from every ad you see on Facebook. And I think a lot of people fall into the trap of almost just having complete ad blindness, so they can never be helped by anything out there, even the stuff that is valuable. So those three things were the things that tipped it for you. Yeah, 100% that.

Adam:

That is a very key point. I remember reading a book years ago, I think it was from Duncan Bannatyne. And he always stated, he said, In this information age, the biggest issue you'll face is not the lack of information, but who to listen to. And yeah, I think you're right. You can easily close your mind off and go, nothing's ever going to work. But I don't know. It just resonated with me. You're very calm the way you talked. You weren't trying to push the advert. And yeah, it was those three points. They were just very logical. I try and be quite logical with business ideas, absolutely. So for me, it was a YouTube ad that I came across from, from Lewis, and he was explaining the same model. And yeah, for me, the fact that it was the home turf advantage, the fact that it was UK suppliers selling to UK customers. It all made a lot more sense for me, rather than the things that I was trying was like trying to get products from halfway around the world, in China over to customers in the US or Canada even, and I just couldn't get a handle on it. Whereas, if I knew I had a UK mentor as well that could, that could talk me through it, it was a no brainer. So I'm keen to hear about your journey then. So you heard about Lewis, heard about dropship unlocked, understood that there was another way to make money online, rather than the things you tried and and not had too much success with in the first place. What was it that got you over the initial maybe skepticism about a new an ad in front of you? What made you feel like it was going to be worth the investment for you to jump into the program and get started, my process for working out, like you say, James, what's the benefit? It's like a risk aversion. I guess I after seeing loses advert, after deciding I wanted to set a business, I kind of have a risk reward framework in my mind, and I looked at the risks of staying in my nine to five as one option. What you know, what's going to happen? I'm going to continue in the same circle of life. I'm adding less protection. I could be fired at any time myself. Try and be a good employee, but, you know, you don't have that. You don't have that certainty, um, pandemics, you know, trying to Afford a House help support people around me, my friends, family, be able to travel. So these were, this was the risk of staying in my job, was to lose all this stuff. And then I looked at the reward system of setting up my own business. So working with dropship unlocked setting up a lifestyle business, and it was freedom of time, potentially more money, more earnings, the option to create and build something, which is really key for me, because I like to build and create stuff. It makes me feel very fulfilled in my day. To day life and again, having that freedom to help people. I can employ people, I can help them have a better job, and I can give them in a job what I felt I wasn't given when I was an employee. So support, mentorship, flexibility, you know, normal treat someone like a human like, it's okay to have a bad day not angry at you. It's cool just thinking about getting yourself to that moment where you knew you were going to go all in. Because for me, it felt like when I joined the dropship on lock masterclass to build my business. The moment I joined, I remember that feeling like a moment where I was like, right? I'm going all in now. I'm going to make this work no matter what comes my way, because I had gone all in. So let me know I want to go deep again. Adam, what were those real feelings you talked about making sure that it was you're looking at the risks weighing up your futures with two different decisions and which way you go. Why did you feel so strongly that choosing to build a business with dropship unlocked was the right decision compared to what would have happened if you'd carried on down the same road. I I couldn't go back to that life, to be completely honest. I couldn't live that way anymore. I couldn't, you know, struggle doing two or three people's jobs, not being appreciated, not fulfilling my purpose. It. It just wasn't an option anymore. I didn't feel like I was living the life I wanted. I know this is quite a deep, personal answer, but this is genuinely how I felt. It just wasn't an option. It just couldn't allow that to be what I wanted to be. Um, and yeah, that was the key differentiation. And when I looked at what I could gain and what I could build, it was just like, you say, James, like there is you have to go all in and say, I'm 100% committed to this. And anything you can do in life is difficult. Having a job is difficult. There's obstacles to overcome, same with a business. And I thought I might as well put my energy into that, because I get more out of it than I would. There's more potential upside, and the risk is okay. I go get another job. I've got my skills for my qualifications. There's no risk. In that sense, I can always go back and do another full time role. But, yeah, there was

James Eardley:

no way I like that. No option. There's, there's no option of going back. We're doing this regardless, so talk us through then what happened from there? Adam, like you'd made the decision we're going to do this. You've seen the ad. We you've made the decision. What happens next? You booked a call with our team, presumably, yeah.

Adam:

So book to call with your team has a nice chat with I think it was Maud pretty simple, got signed up, joined the program that day, had this access to suddenly, I think there's like 5060, other entrepreneurs on the same journey. This like group chat, and we'll talk about their ideas and the worries and concerns. I thought, Oh, I'm in. And then joined the classroom. It was quite quick, started the program, and started the videos, and then, yeah, just worked my way through there. Really. What

James Eardley:

does it feel like to suddenly go from being on your own, little bit lost, throwing darts in the dark, to being in a community of people like that, who are, who are like, who've also gone through that exact same moment of, you know, going back is not an option. I'm doing this suddenly, you know, within a split second, you're there, you're in. How does that feel?

Adam:

It's weird, Nate To be honest, it it's odd, because it's such a contrast, and you feel a little bit like bit skeptical, because little bit too good to be true. And I think in life, we're always looking for people that have the same agenda, or the idea, same ideas as us. You know, they have the same desires, and, you know, can you find the old person, but then you join the community and everyone is similar to you. They all got the same path. So it's a nice feeling, but there's a little bit of skepticism at first, that disappears after a couple days, and you're like, Oh, this is great. This is really fun. And your motivation just jumps very, very high after that. Yeah, very nice. It was very nice. And

James Eardley:

you threw yourself straight into the community, took action straight away. I mean, since starting the program, and we'll get on to to talk about where you're at now and some of the results and successes you've had since, but since starting there, have there been any surprising or, I guess, what's been the most impactful, surprising change for you in life so far doesn't have to just be in business, but like looking back at the previous version of you that was cycling between hospitals at 8pm in the rain. You know, not happy with where you were at to where you are now, what would you say has been the most surprising thing that maybe the former you wouldn't have realized would be a result of doing this?

Adam:

I think for me, two most surprising impactful changes for me so far. One, I've got my time back. I. I didn't think it could happen in such a short space of time. So when I joined the program, I was I still had my nine to five job so I could do it around that. So there was a small period of extra work. But now I work for myself. Don't have another job, just do my business. So got my time back. That was amazing. The biggest impactful change for me is the community, just groups of people, same mission. Lovely to talk to. They give me advice. I give them advice. It's like a psych co working space, in a sense, where you just you're doing the same thing, helping each other out. Yeah, incredible. Your success is fantastic. Always love to hear it when, when members are able to completely change their lifestyle through the businesses that they've built, so leaving your nine to five job. But also the slightly more surprising element of it, and I agree, is the people that you meet along the way. Obviously, initially, it's a virtual community, but we also have the in person events now, which really strengthens the connection that we're able to have amongst ourselves. So it's a big, big highlights there. I know you're you're a big member of the community. So how do you think the community, in particular, whether it's the virtual community or the in person events? How do you think that helped you in your in your journey from going, from starting to where you got to yourself now, there's always moments of apprehension. Always, you can't avoid that in life. And you get days when you're motivated, and then when you get those apprehensive days, you just, you reach out, you time, put out on the community. And then, surprisingly, 30 minutes later, someone goes, Oh, I dealt with this. I did this, that and that, and it solved it. And you go, Oh, okay. And then all of a sudden, your large problem that you feel is going to take you days to overcome and focus, takes 10 minutes, and you go, Ah, okay, it does work better of a group of people that has pioneering on your own, like yourself, less I

James Eardley:

Yeah. I mean, I was in communities, I had I had support, but there wasn't anything that quite laid it out how to do it in the UK. And I was just hitting all of these roadblocks and being like, why don't suppliers resonate with like, the way I'm saying things? And it was all very kind of Americanized. And I just felt like there's definitely a flaw or a gap in the market here where, you know, this can be adapted to the UK, because it's huge in the US, and people talk about it all the time there, but in the UK, it was relatively unknown. And I realized after a while it was actually something that suppliers were receptive to. They just would, it's almost like they were speaking a different language, you know, they just did the terminology, the obviously, even, like, the legalities, the things you have to have on your website, like it was, there was just a lot of differences. So yeah, it was a bit of an uphill battle trying to kind of adapt to that, but once I did, I knew that it was a past that other people would want to walk as well. So hence why it came together. But for you, Adam, what would you say so far has been the best moment since joining the program in your life? Like, are there any pivotal moments or days where you think this is very contrasting to where I was previously the

Adam:

best moment in the whole program. And this was very recent. We're talking about three weeks ago. I previously had a part time job while my business was making sales and doing well. I just quit that job. So I made that decision, left, and it was so real that this is actually a real thing. It's a real entity. I could pay myself through the business. Yeah, that was by far the best moment. It's a very weird feeling, but it was, yeah, eref, and I've worked, worked for wanted, yeah, to realize that that dream you had for so long, you would have visualized it, you'd have written it down in goals, and then to actually see it come to fruition. For me, it was like that the first Monday morning that I wasn't expected to go to work because there's one day is handing the notice in. Then there's the four week notice period, and then it's that Monday when you have nobody to report to it, and you don't need to get in your car and commute to work, and you can just do the things you want to work on. I just, I would love everyone to experience that moment, to have that control. And I imagine that. Do you remember that first day that, not that long ago, for a few weeks ago, that first day where suddenly you've got the control back? Yeah, 100% like you say, there's there's the idea, then you put the notice in, then you wait a while the first day it happens. I was quite I was exhausted, actually running a business, and how many of job, I was quite tired. I actually slept a lot. It was until the Monday after, when I was like went out for a walk in the morning. All I've got to do today is what I set on my calendar. Like you say, no pressure, no stress, no morning commute, no afternoon commute. I think I we had a really busy morning, then it tailed off in a mid day. So I went, just went out and went shopping for a bit. Then go crazy, just, you know, just chill out, and it's really quiet not around. And I just remember that freedom. Yeah, that was. Yes, that was my proper first day. Yeah, fantastic. Just a free to visit, to do what you want. And then when you do work, it's, it's on your own terms. So, yeah, love it. Get so excited when I hear people achieve this. It's so impressive. Adam, so to be able to do that, you've obviously got to have the financial backing, to have the confidence to leave a job, to know that you can go out on your own and it will, yeah, at least match or beat the income that you've got from your job. So talk to us now about some numbers. Let's, let's talk sales for a little bit. So what has been your total revenue to date that gave you that confidence that you're able to leave your job? The total revenue to date we've been trading properly for eight months is VA and got four year yet, it's 307,000 pounds as our total revenue, and that's just got our profits up to 25% so that's that's been very nice quite a short period. Yeah,

James Eardley:

chat for that. That's fantastic. Going from a standing start on day zero to eight months in that's an incredible achievement. So congratulations. Have there been any significant days like in terms of revenue? Any big, big days that you think, Wow, this is a, you know, this is high ticket e commerce at work in action, the home turf advantage models personified in the form of a high revenue day, yeah,

Adam:

the high actually, this was very recent as well. So this is about three weeks ago, but highest revenue day so far was 22,000 pound against 22% gross profit on that. So that was one day we had eight sales come in. Fantastic, yeah, that was how did that

James Eardley:

feel? Talk us through that eight sales in a day, 22,000 pounds in revenue in a day. At do you say 22% profit margin?

Adam:

Yeah, 27 profit margin. So double my monthly wage

James Eardley:

in a day. Yeah, to be honest,

Adam:

be completely transparent. It was, it was great. It's it felt very real. You do get like, a little bit of a moment of imposter syndrome, I guess, oh, you feel like, wow. This is, you look at where I was 12 months ago. This is kind of crazy. And then you're busy serving all the customers and making sure they're happy and giving them calls. So kind of you're doing it, dealing with all that in a day. It comes to the evening, and you reflect back and you go, wow, like this is a really viable entity to push forward for the rest of my life. It's not short term thing. This is something I can sustain for the next 1015, years. And you think if I can do that in one day, there's big, high potentials here in this industry, yeah, very nice, very free feeling. And typically I feel like yourself, like Lewis and James. I don't always celebrate the achievement, so I have to, like, stop myself and to celebrate a little bit. And got takeaway, went out with some friends, try and be quite level headed. But, yeah, great, great feeling. Is

James Eardley:

it about? Is that about 5000 pounds profit in the day? Or is my math off there? No, it's about 4400

Adam:

so it should be around, yeah, so, yeah,

James Eardley:

not so about 4400 pounds in profit in a day. I mean, did you say that that's that? That's higher than your previous monthly salary? Yeah, it's

Adam:

about double what I used to get. So that's, that's one day, like, working from home. You know, working undermines self esteem. Working, yeah, yeah,

James Eardley:

that double. And would you say you worked harder in that day? Or, like, because it's, I think that's the reason like that imposter syndrome. It's, strange, isn't it, this is the bit that I think we as entrepreneurs learn almost not to feel guilty, because I'd argue you probably did work harder to get to that point than you did in one day of your previous job, or even one month, because you had to front load that work and build the systems and take the leap and put your faith in a program and like and like and do a lot of things that are quite courageous and scary, but then you get rewarded with a profit of four and a half 1000 pounds in a day. But you could have done that just sitting on your chair at home and doing nothing right, because you've built those systems and front loaded it so that, I think, is the tipping point that I see as really exciting. It's that you've created this system now. You now get to enjoy the fruits of your labor, because you made that decision.

Adam:

Very good point, yeah, I did forget this. And like you say, Yeah, because you question yourself, you go, Do I deserve this? Because it's such a contrast. You question, you're so used to the life used to live, and then you sit here and get, do I deserve this? But you're right. There's a lot of work at the beginning to get to that point, and to get to that point where customers are happy, you get big. You know, there's obviously large orders as well, round two, two to 3000 pound each order. So customers, to build that value and that trust with the customers, takes a long time on the website and through Review. And ordering like you say, you reap the rewards, and then you can enjoy it for a bit, and then you build a little bit more. But, yeah, I think, as an entrepreneur, I'm assuming others feel this way, but you do, you get apprehensive a bit like, Is this happening? Is this really like? You go, No, I built this. I've done this, this, you know. Yeah, that's right, because you visualize it that many times. And when it comes to fruition, after all the work you've put in, finally seeing it being real, it's it can be mind blown, because on the actual day when this profit comes in, it's not like you've made that you put the work in that day. It's all the front loading, which is different to the way that we are used to. I guess, with nine to five jobs in the past, it was all about what output can you put in each day to earn your wage that day? But it's so different with a business, it's all about front loading the work that you put in from the start. Yeah, you don't have that feeling with the business, like, you know, like you're saying you for a job, you have that daily capacity of what you can gain. But with a business, if you just keep adding value every day, every week. It just compounds later on. There's no can. Yeah, exactly. This is all for our consumer products. We've just gone into a beta bean each and now so we've got two arms of the business, and our products are now 5000 pound is the minimum price. So these numbers should then start, you know, by three to five times, should start going up just through different products. It's amazing, yeah, super exciting to see the the growth that you've had. So to get yourself to this point, um, as you reflect on your journey from when you first joined dropship unlocked, how did you get yourself to this point? Were you the type of person that followed the program to the letter and were very active in in the community, etc, were very engaged. Or did you go off at all in on your own tangent? Or I'm interested to hear about how you approached it. So I did follow the program. There was a few little divergence here and there, but once they got back onto the program and followed the system. Everything worked out very well. Been very active in the community. I find that very that really helps. We share ideas. The program, like you say, like you say, is still growing and adding bits on all the time. So we all kind of, we'll have different businesses and different niches. So we learn off each other. We go, actually, we could add this and that'd be very beneficial, because I know yourself, James and Lewis, you're always adding new content to the program because it's ever evolving system e commerce.

James Eardley:

Yeah, that's the benefit of having a community of people doing the same model, is that you can keep your ear to the ground of like, where do people run into roadblocks, or where to get they get stuck? Like we've we can see as soon as one of these systems that we use changes their process or their interface, it becomes very obvious to us, because loads of people start asking the same question, and we're, like, a second a month ago, no one was asking that, what's going on? And you realize, ah, is because Google have changed one of the steps for, like, the ad account onboarding. And we then just say, okay, like, let's find which module has changed, go in, tweak it, you know, or release a new module, for example, to kind of, like, just completely update it. So I wanted to cover something as well that I know for you, Adam, it hasn't been all, you know, sunshine and rainbows this journey, like, there have been some, some difficult moments. And I think it's important to talk about, like, some of the difficulties in the adversity that you've overcome in order to still get to the point where you're making, you know, 22 grand in sales in a single day. Let's talk about, like, some of the payment stuff. Because I know when we talked in person at one of our live meetups recently, you were telling us about some like, horror stories you had with Shopify payments, for example, that a lot of people would have said, Okay, that's it. It won't work for me, thrown in the towel and given up with the whole business model. So talk us through that. Yeah, that's

Adam:

yeah. We need to talk about the challenges. Can't avoid those. So yeah, we things are just starting to kick off with us because we're in a higher end niche. We sell a lot of items at around three or 4000 pounds. Think we're on our like 1015 sale, sold a couple items through Shopify payments, and then Shopify took the money, and then they just said, we're not going to release this money for you till you for 100 days, and you're like what I'm now in a position I can't find the money to refund customer, and I owe the customer, you know, for a 4000 pound item. So I was, I was genuinely a little bit like, Oh God, what do I do here? What's my protection? Um, probably like, you say, not something a lot of people have gone through. So I had to get a loan out, pay, you know, use this to buy the product from the supplier, send it to the customer. It was you go through an emotional phase where you're a little bit unsure and you're worried about the whole system, but then you have to go back to being logical and well, actually, the niche is validated, so I can sell products. I've just sold a large item, so I could just sell more and use this to pay off the loan and then wait for the money to come back in through Shopify. But yeah, Lewis, you're right. It was a moment where I thought maybe, as if, is this it that only lasted like a day. And I said, No, come on, Adam, let's, let's crack on and get this sorted on a tactical

James Eardley:

level, what was the answer? Because there'll be people listening who think, well, what happens if that happens to me? And Shopify payments, decide to have a hissy fit and decide not to pay out my money. Like, what did you do? How did you get around it? So

Adam:

I set up with stripe. We've got a second checkout system all up and running. I did that on the same day. Did that in the evening, so I could continue making sales. That was step one, continue making sales. Keep the money flowing, yeah, keep the revenue in. Then you can work out later if I could still make sales. Second step. So this was to borrow some money. So I mean, if you're very lucky and you've got family and friends who are happy to lend you, amazing, there's no interest. But once you get a business, you've got business accounts. I applied through, think I applied through Monzo, or it was capital on tap, I can't remember, which is what you suggested, just got, just got some money and only needed it for three months. Use that to pay for the customer. And that was it. I was like, oh, actually. And then business carrying on as usual. Did Shopify payments? Eventually pay out the funds. They did. It was a very difficult process, and even after the 100 days, they still didn't pay out, and I had to keep emailing and messaging them, but they finally gave me the money. We got it eventually. Yeah, we closed that account down, got it eventually. It's a big learning curve, but, yeah,

James Eardley:

I haven't seen it happen to many people, but I think it's important to be transparent about this and talk about it, right? Because, despite what could have been a business ending event, you decided on that day, okay, we navigate around it. We create a Stripe account. I think you said you set up with like Khanna and these Buy now pay later services as well, so customers now have two, if not three, different options to be able to buy products from you still, despite something like that, it being the problem you encountered. You borrowed some funds, and then, like you say, down the line, with a little bit of chasing, you eventually got the money from Shopify anyway. So it's like Crisis averted, but it took persistence and it took you taking action. So yeah, and a little

Adam:

bit of help from the community and you guys, sometimes you just need that little bit of support. You describe the process, and even people going, Oh, that's annoying. Don't give up. And you go, yeah, you're right. I haven't come this far. Like, if you're in a job and there's a problem, you wouldn't just walk out the job. You find a solution. It's exactly and it has paid off 100% it's paying dividends now, but there's two things here that was so impressive. So the first thing is having a community around you to give you that emotional support to keep you going, and the tactical support to give you some advice onto the actions to take. But also it's your approach to challenges which is incredibly impressive. And I think that's a big reason as to why you're at the place you're at now is the fact that you were able to stay level headed and just take focus on taking action. Um, because something that we'll learn as entrepreneurs is that every day there'll be a new challenge that we've got to overcome, sometimes small, sometimes large in your situation, but the best thing to do is have is has a positive approach. Yeah, what do you think your approach is when you come up against these challenges? How do you go about approaching them to make sure that you're proactive and actually overcoming them? Good point, I think my main framework in my head is you are what you create, like you are what you think. So if you think it's a problem, it is a problem. If you think there's a solution, there is a solution. I'm not perfect at it, but I try and follow, like a lot of stoic philosophies, from variant stoicism. I know James, you previously kind of mentioned that without stoicism as well, something you've been interested in, but it's it's all about the nature of life. Things go up and down, the good and the bad, the yin and the yang. They are all part of it, and you learn to love both. And then through every downside there's an upside. So these are the kind of like phrases I tell myself in my head and think about, you know, what would a stoic do? What would someone else do? I know you guys have had your challenges, setting up your businesses. Things are fine now, just because there's an obstacle doesn't mean it's a barrier. You just find a way around it.

James Eardley:

So other than the time freedom that you've mentioned that you've now found yourself with, and the finances, which we've talked about, like some days, you're earning double what you would have taken home in an entire month in the profit from your new business. Have there been any other unexpected benefits of running a an E commerce business like this, yeah,

Adam:

there's been two really big benefits I didn't anticipate. One is the ability to travel. So a lot of our customers very high end customers, if they spend 10, 15,000 pounds. And they want to meet me, I can go visit them. This comes out of the business expenses. It doesn't touch my personal wages, so I get to travel, but essentially free personally, which is really nice. I'm not always in the same office, even office space. Also, we have trade shows. They have all around the world, like Greece, Athens, Dubai. So if I ever want to there's something I'm considering, is set up different stores in different countries, because all our suppliers have warehouses in those places. I can travel to Athens for five days, go to the trade show, go talk to people, and also in this business, in this niche, it's a really nice family environment. Everyone's really friendly, so you can just go talk to them, go out in their office chat. So I've kind of created, like, uh, like colleagues in effect. So that was really unexpected that I'd have that access. It's like rest of the world, like, in essence, yeah, it's a great lifestyle. So, like you say, business expenses, but now travel can come as part of your your business that you're running. And also, I think travel is on your mind as well, in terms of, personally, just just living abroad while running the business. You mentioned something to me offline about that before. Is that coming into your head, now that you've got that location freedom, that you might do some some traveling, as well as running the business abroad. 100% I'm very keen to do some traveling, so around Asia. Got my eyes set on Vietnam for four weeks. So that would be very nice. I'd like to go to Vietnam, work from, work from wherever I want. I've already got a VA on board who helps me with a lot of work. I'm in the process of training and hiring two more, once they're on board in the next eight weeks, then it'd be more of a valid thing for me to disappear for a while because of the time zone difference I saw so they can support our customers. But yeah, all I need is my laptop. It's a really exciting place to get to. And yeah, I highly recommend Vietnam. I've just spent four weeks myself in Danang in Vietnam, which is like central Vietnam. I know Lewis spent some time there, and he actually got me onto the idea of going there as well, because it is a fantastic place for digital nomads. Really well. Set up with co working spaces, gym. There's a beach, the weather's great. So there's a lot going for you. So I mean, do you think that's one of the biggest perks looking ahead now, looking at your life over the rest of the course of this year and beyond, tell me about how you think this, this business, as well as travel, is going to affect everyday life for you, big question, a big change. I I can go anywhere, you know, let's do it two to three months. And I've hired some more VA s, and they're more doing the day to day work for me. Yeah, I can. My kind of idea is to get a nice villa in Italy later on, so I can kind of hop there, or I don't need to buy one. You can just rent one. So I could do a few months in Australia, Italy, come home, see family in the UK, yeah, like almost complete freedom just to kind of travel wherever you need to and just rest there for a while, because still do some work as a lab. So see some engagement with the business. Yeah. And it's exciting to know about both your travels as well, and then you spend quite a lot of time abroad. I'm not jealous. It's

James Eardley:

definitely one of the benefits of a business like this, and I it was absolutely one of the prime reasons why I decided to start because I, you know, I think that autonomy, that control over where I am. I hate the idea of someone telling me I have to be in a certain place at a certain time. For some reason, it just grates on me. And I'm like, I revolt against it, and I want to, I want to create that, that type of life where I can be anywhere at any time, wherever, wherever I want to be, and if that is at home, then that's totally fine, but it's on my terms, and that's the point, and that's why I think, yeah, it's, it's a great business model for anyone that shares those same values and doesn't want to be kind of caged up and told they have to be in work at a certain time in a certain place. So if you were talking to the former version of Adam right now, who was sat in a dark hospital, out room office in a temporary building, being told that they have to cycle across London in the rain at 8pm before getting on a hour long bus ride home. And you were and because there will be people who are in that equivalent scenario right now, maybe not the specifics, not the exact same scenario, but people who are who are feeling the same way that you did, where the scales are starting to tip towards that moment of them saying, I've had enough. I'm doing something about this. This is not the path I want to be on for the rest of my life. What words of advice would you have to them if they've seen an ad from this strange guy who smiles and is chatting to them in a Facebook ad or a YouTube ad? And what, what help or advice would you give to them? If they're thinking about taking that leap to change the course of the rest of their life and build up that courage, what would you say?

Adam:

I would say, think about what you could gain. Like think seriously about what you could gain. There's obviously, if someone's seen the ads, or they're deciding they want to set up a business, there's a reason for it. There's obviously something in their minds that's making them actually, you know, want to do it. If you're fully content, you might not be interested, but think of what you can gain, and then the reasons why you want to step away from your situation. Now, what's the risk of not doing anything? Like, what's the risk? And I could label the rest quite large. You know, inflation is going up. Value of Money is always going down, to savings no longer. You know that beneficial as it used to be for our parents who had pensions, etc. You could see the economy changing, see the world changing, and just look at what you could potentially lose and not being the best version of yourself. That's what I'd always tell people, once you've got to that stage, just do it. Don't think too much. Just do it. Get on the copy Nike. Just yeah, yeah, absolutely. And if somebody was thinking specifically dropship unlocked, and you knew the you know, you've been through that, that process, you've built the business with dropship unlocked, and you're still an active member in the community. Member in the community. Now, if you're speaking to put somebody that there's dialed in on a business, yes, but they're also dialed in on E commerce and using dropship unlocked. What would your advice be for somebody that's about to start the dropship unlock program and is thinking about getting started, how would you tell them to to consider joining? I'd always say follow a mentor, or mentors who have done it already for like both yourselves and even me, like I've personally gone through the process, and I know that works. I we've made sales. We've made good profit living. Example, the program just said it all out, and it is very works for what I'm looking for. It's UK based, UK products. You know, we know all the laws and the licenses here in the UK, you're protecting yourself. You can offer next day delivery. You talk to UK customers. The language barriers are easier. There's so many benefits. And then, once you've got this framework working, you can then put this across the different countries, but it's best to start in the country. You understand. And you know, we have the laws here, and you can set high prices, yeah, sort of makes sense. Yeah, completely agree. Yes, it's fantastic. And having that proven system in front of you really allows you to just go all in and not have to think about what to do, just just make sure you're taking the actions. So I'm keen to ask you, Adam as well, now, now that you've got yourself to a position where you've left a job your business is, is bringing in consistent sales, you think about location, freedom and traveling the world? I'd like to ask you, if you are now speaking with a previous version of you that hadn't yet joined dropship unlocked, what do you think that person would think of you right now if they looked at where you are a few months later? What do you think that person would would think of the person you are today? I think they'd be proud, mate. I think they'd be proud that I've started to become, and have become the person I've wanted to be. Yeah, when you're stuck in that cycle, it can be hard to see out of the see out of the smoke, in a sense, and it's hard to visualize yourself who you could be. But once you are it, you're like, This is how it should be. So, yeah, I think, hopefully, I think proud, and also a bit like, about time, yeah, I

James Eardley:

think a lot of people end up feeling caged up like they don't have that autonomy or that control over their time, and that someone's telling them where to be and at what time. That frustrates me. Yeah.

Adam:

Lewis, exactly the same. You know, it's my personality trait. I'm quite an energetic person. I relate to building great stuff, like I mentioned before. And yeah, I feel the same sometimes, just being slotted in a time slot, you know, nine to five, same building, same place. Yeah, I don't think humor is always built to be in a process. And unlike you, I like to solve it free. I work very hard, but I like moments to kind of come and go as I please as well. So yeah, that, that's been a really key point I probably haven't touched on my personality trait really does steer a more nomad lifestyle of on the moves and having new experiences. And yeah, I'm, I'm a bit bit of a better boss. I hope that I'm an employee. So yeah, we all got our pros and cons.

James Eardley:

So Adam, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for joining us today on the podcast. Really enjoyed the conversation. We're certainly both very proud of you and your progress, and I'm sure the former version of yourself would be very proud of you if they could see you today. So well done and congratulations, and I know you've just joined us in our inner circle. Mar. Mastermind as well. So we're looking forward to spending a full day with you soon at a mastermind diving into your business and seeing if we can help you take it to the next level. So thanks for joining us on the dropship unlock podcast.

Adam:

Honestly, thanks so much, Lewis and James, thanks for having me. I've generally really enjoyed it. I've enjoyed all my time at DSU, hence why I'm still here, and I'm really excited about the inner circle and taking my business to the next level, and then onwards and upwards from there. What

James Eardley:

an inspiring conversation that was with Adam. Absolutely. Yeah. Loved the conversation with Adam. I suspect that won't be the last time we hear from Adam on the dropship unlocked podcast. He's got some big goals, and we're looking forward to documenting his journey and following along as he goes through. So we covered the ups and the downs through Adam's journey. And if any of those things resonated with you, if you could see yourself in the description of Adam's former self that he was describing, where he was in the hospital office and he was cycling on his bike at 8pm in London, if any of that resonated with you and you thought, I need to make that shift as well, and the scales have just tipped in my world to the point of taking action and changing something about my situation and my future. Then just remember that like it did for Adam, success always begins with that first step. It's crucial that you make that first step. Sometimes that's the biggest thing you can possibly do. The rest of it is then just momentum. So if you want to get started and follow in Adam's footsteps, you can by heading over to dropship unlocked.com. Forward slash start.

So if you have any questions that have come up while you've been listening to today's episode, simply comment beneath the YouTube video version of this episode, and not only will it be answered in the comments, but we'll also potentially feature it on an upcoming podcast episode. So this week, the question has come in from Adam glue, and I'm going to ask the question across gene Auris. Adam has asked, How do you know that the competition stores are drop shipping and not buying the products up front? That seems like it's key to me. Yeah, thank you for your question, Adam, and it's an interesting one. And this is a different Adam, by the way, it's not the same Adam we just spoke to in today's episode and but we start well, firstly, you say that you seem to you think that it's key, but I would say that there are exceptions to that as well. So I've, for example, partnered with suppliers in the past who don't typically drop ship, and who, if you just looked at the competitor retailers, most of them were stocking the products. And so by that definition, if that was your rule to go by, you would have probably ruled out the niche, right? So there are always ways around it, and it comes down to really putting forward that value proposition to your suppliers and convincing them that you can be a valuable new revenue stream for them, without them having to do anything other than just send out the products when you send them through orders. Now, inside our training, we go through a very step by step sequential process of identifying our direct competitors. And by direct competitors, we mean other stores that are already drop shipping. And so we can determine that through very specific ninja tactics that we guide you through. And then once we know that they're competitors, and we know that they don't have huge premises or warehouses etc, to hold stock, then we can be fairly sure that the brands that they're working with align with our business model, and that they will drop ship without us having to convince them or even show them what drop shipping is. So once you've done that, it makes the whole process flow quite seamlessly, with without all the friction of having to convince different people. But as I mentioned, you can do it as well, like if you go into a niche where they don't typically drop ship, don't let that mean don't let that make you think that you can't convince them to do so, because we've certainly done that in the past. It just for your first business. If you've never run an E commerce business before, in my experience, is typically a lot smoother if you can just ensure that drop shipping is a validated business model already and a method of fulfillment that those suppliers are already happy to go through before you enter that niche. Perfect. Yeah, thanks, Lewis. Great point there. I think it's key to understand where we're finding our suppliers, that they don't always have to be partnered with other drop shipping retailers already. But yeah, okay, let's move on now to a recent review that we've had for the podcast. So a big thank you to John Aspinall, five 274 for sharing. Your thoughts.
