@zachmelloh26 Mike retired at 54 saving his whole life as a squrriel and died age 63.
He saved and sacrificed his whole life for 9 years.
Get tae fuck with this pension 401k shit bro
Mike retired at 54 with $ 4.1M.
He had done everything “right”:
• Maxed out his 401(k)
• Saved consistently for 30+ years
• Paid off his home
• Avoided debt
But:
@SirTdl@BasilTheGreat@GBNEWS No it won’t be use your head it was probs be to do with stock = lower stock higher price = more profit. Excess stock = lower price = sell through = more profit because of less throwing away.
Get your tin hat off your head
@BasilTheGreat@GBNEWS Most of you missed the point. It wasnt about digital pricing in stores, but the system to profile who is buying and adjust the price in realtime. Smarten up people
🚨UK STORES TO INTRODUCE DYNAMIC PRICING
What a dystopian society we now live in
DIGITAL price displays will be going up in stores across the country so prices can be adjusted depending on WHO is purchasing
This is scary

@eCom_Amin I’m about to pour cash into start shopify. Surely website matters. Branding, vibe, trust etc to get a decent roas? I don’t care about 20k a day and making 500 quid
the ecom guru space is so fucked right now
everyone's regurgitating the same shi
wrapped in fancy terms
to sound smart
"advertorials"
"quiz funnels"
"hybrid attribution"
"omnichannel retargeting"
mf what?
when i scaled to $901k with my pet store
and $1.1m/mo with jewelry brand
you know what i used?
basic ASF product page
free debutify theme
default shopify checkout
simple product photos
that's it
no quiz pages
no advertorials
no fancy funnels
just product + price + buy button
hitting $40k-$50k days with the most boring setup
but gurus love to complicate everything
and they do it for 1 reason only:
complexity sells courses
simplicity doens't sell anything
what do you think sounds sexier:
"use this SECRET quiz funnel strategy"
or
"just run google shopping ads to a product page"
?
one gets 389 ADHD kids buying $997 courses
other gets 3 old men sitting at a cafe buying it
only this guru playbook prints:
step 1: take basic concept
step 2: rename it something fancy
step 3: add "framework" or "system" to it
step 4: claim it's never been shared before
step 5: sell for $497-$1997
examples:
"hybrid attribution modeling"
= checking which ads actually work
"omnichannel retargeting"
= showing ads on different platforms
"advertorial funnels"
= long form sales page
"quiz funnel strategy"
= asking questions before showing product
they're selling you common sense
with a fancy fucking packaging
and i've fallen for this trap too:
when starting out
i wasted $22k on courses
trying to find their damn secret
you know what i learned?
there is no fcking secret
only the cliche shit from here matters:
work hard
test things
don't give up
keep it simple
fix what breaks
scale what works
and kill what doesn't
that's it
no magic funnel
no secret strategy
no hidden framework
just basics executed consistently
but you can't sell that
sounds too boring
too simple
too obvious
so they make up terms:
"the hybrid funnel system"
"the 7-figure quiz framework"
"the omnichannel attribution model"
it's all bullshit
designed to:
- sound intelligent
- create FOMO
- trigger impulsive buying
- justify high prices
targeting ADHD kids who:
- want silver bullets
- hate hard work
- love "secrets"
- make impulsive decisions
and if you still don't believe me
check out my $901k year setup:
theme: shopify debutify (free)
pages: 5 total (home, product, cart, checkout, contact)
apps: 3 (reviews, email, analytics)
ad platforms: google shopping
landing page: product page
funnel: none
quiz: none
advertorial: none
that's it
while gurus were teaching:
"13-step omnichannel quiz funnel framework"
i was running:
product page + google shopping
they made $200k selling courses
i made $901k selling dog beds
different games
different levels
and i’m tired of seeing this pattern:
guru learns basics
makes $50k/month
stops doing ecom
starts teaching ecom
complicates everything
sells complexity
makes more teaching than doing
then students:
learn complex systems
get overwhelmed
never launch
or launch and fail
blame themselves
buy another course
vicious cycle repeats
meanwhile:
brands actually doing 7-8 figures move smoothly
shopify default themes
basic product pages
simple checkout
good product
good ads
good customer service
no quiz funnels
no advertorials
no hybrid attribution
just basics
but basics don't sell
"master the fundamentals" sounds boring
"unlock the secret 7-figure quiz funnel" feels exciting
one gets 10 students
other gets 1000 students
and i get it
gurus need to eat too
but it's fcking up the industry
new people think they need:
- $10k custom shopify theme
- 47-page quiz funnel
- hybrid attribution model
- omnichannel retargeting
- advertorial framework
before they can start
so they never start
or they start
spend months building
use complicated funnels
spend a grand on launches
lose money
give up
when they could've focus on a simple structure:
day 1: basic product page
day 2: run google shopping
day 3: first sale
day 4: optimize
day 5: scale
but simple doesn't sound impressive
can't flex on twitter about:
"just launched basic product page"
gotta flex about:
"just built 13-step quiz funnel with hybrid attribution"
even though:
basic page = $5k/day
complex funnel = $0/day
because here’s the truth nobody wants to hear:
ecom is simple
there’s no magic to it
find product people want
show it to people searching for it
make buying easy
ship fast
repeat
that's the game
no secrets
no frameworks
no hidden strategies
just execution
work hard
keep it simple
amd don't give up
same cliche shi
that actually works
but cliches don't sell courses
so they'll keep inventing:
- new frameworks
- new terms
- new "secrets"
and ADHD kids will keep buying
while brands print money
use boring ass basics
and now you gotta choose:
sound smart on twitter
or make money in silence
fail with style
or win with simplicity
you can either feed your ego
or feed your fucking family
choose wisely
My ads team is 100% gonna lose their minds when they see this…
But I don’t care.
I just dropped THE masterclass on how to generate INFINITE Facebook ad ideas
This is the exact system we use to never run out of hooks, angles, or creative concepts (even in the 2025 Andromeda landscape).
We charge $10k/month to run this for clients…
But for the next 48 hours, I’m giving it away 100% FREE.
Comment "IDEAS" and I’ll send it to you.

respectfully sir, you have no idea what you're talking about
The average brand fonder operates on near zero to negative margins, coping, justifying it with 'brand equity' and the wet dream of an exit
The dropshippers I know (and affiliate's) are the most cash flow rich people I know in ecom
Any respectable drop-shipper would be embarrassed at 100k a month
Average 19 year old dropshipper
- tested 100+ products, knows what works and what doesn’t
- has built 50+ stores and can create stuff in a day that agencies would charge $50k+ for
- knows breakthrough advertising by heart and can convince your mum to buy anything
- thousands of hours of graphic design and video editing
- handled thousands of customer service tickets personally and knows how to manage expectations and keep refunds low
- Can scale an ad account better than most people who get paid to do it
- Learned how to stay lean, manage cashflow and scale a business without funding
Average 30 year old ‘brand founder’
- lent some money
- paid people to do everything
There is a large skill gap in Ecom and I honestly feel if some of these dropshipping kids had access to the same capital / credit the guys in the startup world have they would absolutely wipe the floor with them
Unfortunately most dropshippers never make the leap into really trying to reinvest a lot of their profits into building something for the long term. The ones I know who have are running rings around your favourite Twitter gurus

@TheMattGacek@SquibLabs@jackhaymart@AlecSkriloff@thedonaldnash@reeceroskam Looks like it but mould takes a while but is a basement so probs been there for a while if not tanked properly. But honestly in the London most of the old houses have black mould and everyone’s alive we’re probably too lax on it here
You want a true Build in Public ? Here’s a raw one 🧵
🚨 We thought we’d found our NYC launchpad - turns out it was a health-hazard money pit. Illegal-ish basement housing + floods, walls with potential blooms of mold, a founder coughs up blood, and 8 hours after the ER we’re told to grab our stuff & get out by 3pm today.

If you’re in your 20s, someday you’ll be 37 like me. So read this.
I just turned 37. In my twenties, I thought my life would be over at this point lol.
Ironically, I’m in the best shape, mental state, wealthier than I could of ever imagined, healthiest, and imo most attractive I’ve ever been in my life (before you roll your eyes, I was gross in my 20s… not hard lol).
I literally have everything I ever wanted. Including a wonderful wife.
But only because I sacrificed.
No one I know personally growing up went to the extremes I did to learn about health, self-development, social skills (which I had zero of). No one tried as hard or as long as me to get rich.
I’m not saying look at me, I’m special.
I’m saying I sacrificed a lot, took a lot of risk, and was very uncomfortable all the time.
And what I’m trying to convey to you is that the sacrifices you’re taking or considering taking are 500x worth it. You should sacrifice more actually, and do it with glee.
Go live in a $500-a-month apartment in Thailand and burn everything at the altar of your character arc.
I literally wish I had just done that at 20, trained Muay Thai and BJJ, and built harder. Big life regrets.
Anyways.
People (losers) will tell you you’re being crazy and missing out. Stop being money-focused. Stop trying, being so vain. Live a little.
They are wrong. Really fucking wrong. So unbelievably wrong that I would literally jump off a bridge if I had to switch lives with them and suffer the consequences of their life of no sacrifice.
You are missing zero. You will regret zero. Proudly go psycho monk mode and become as great as you can be.
You won’t regret missing getting drunk at the same bar 500 times with people you don’t even talk to at 40. You won’t regret missing the pointless dating. You won’t regret taking risk and failing.
You will deeeeeply regret at my age not sacrificing. You will start to see the decade of choices deeply and permanently in your and other men’s—you knows—lives.
And you will see this post is the truth.
After your twenties, the lifestyle, women, and all that shit you want will figure itself out and just come to you.
Hell, it’ll probably come to you in your early 20s and try to distract you because you’re building up so much power.
Keep sacrificing. It’s all completely worth it, and you’ll realize it’s actually the most fun part.
I work and sacrifice more now than I ever did… because it’s awesome pursuing the best possible potential for yourself personally.
Anyways, eat the shit. Skip everything. Picture your perfect character arc and light everything else on fire to get it.
And when you are at an age in the future that seems terrifying now, you will actually be enjoying the best times of your life.
Move fast, young man. You will be an old man who’s about to become an even older man soon.
@I_RoZz_I@omitrafi You think you can block me you bitch rafi, you run teams in challengers because no one is retarded enough to do it for biz, 1/4 of my business get fkd

Contractors in the field would laugh you off the face of the Earth if you pulled out this drill on the job site.
Nobody wants to scroll through a settings menu before they drill a single hole.
I’m all for new tech and gadgets but Engineers often lose the essence of what they’re packing the tech into.
Example: This drill by Robbox Tools has some slick software and a touch screen that allows you to drill level/plumb and certain angles.
It also has a depth stop which is nifty.
That’s just it though, these features are nifty at best.
Skilled tradesmen have simple and effective ways to hit their mark and most times you don’t need 100% plumb pilot holes in the field.
My guess is this will not do well at market and be discontinued shortly after.
