2 years ago, I made one of the best decisions of my life.
Joining God Tier Ecom.
At the time, I had no idea how much that one decision would change the direction of my life.
I wasn’t chasing the cars or the luxury.
I was chasing freedom.
The freedom to wake up whenever I wanted.
To work from anywhere in the world.
To spend my time doing the things I actually enjoy.
To build a life on my own terms.
But what I’ve learned over these past 2 years is that none of it happens overnight.
The countless hours.
The failures.
The moments of doubt.
The days where nothing seemed to work.
And showing up anyway.
That’s the part people don’t see.
Being surrounded by people who share the same vision and refuse to settle for an ordinary life changes everything.
And that’s exactly what GTE gave me.
A community of people constantly pushing each other to become better.
And a mentor who genuinely changed the way I look at business and life.
Massive thank you to @avcanthony_ and everyone in God Tier Ecom.
Without the guidance, knowledge, and community, none of this would have been possible.
2 years in, and I still feel like I’m just getting started.
Forever grateful.
We’re only getting started. 🤝

We’re excited to announce our new CapCut plugin is coming soon to @ChatGPT at CapCutWorldLA.
The plugin brings CapCut's video editing and generation tools alongside ChatGPT. You can start with an idea in ChatGPT, bring it to life with the CapCut plugin right inside ChatGPT, then take your draft video to CapCut's web editor to refine, share and publish.
By bringing the CapCut product you already love and use in ChatGPT, we're making content creation more seamless and efficient.

Your bookmarks are full of shit you said you were going to try.
A skill you wanted to learn or something of value that will make you money.
You saved it feeling motivated then carried on exactly like you were, do you see the problem?
At some point you have to be willing to put in the work without wondering why you're not making it.
The mentality has to change, and it has to be right now. We're moving at 100kmh in crypto, alongside AI advancing, and there is zero time to fucking waste by telling yourself you'll get to it later.
You can figure shit out along the way once you've actually started.
Go back to one of those saved bookmarks and give it an actual go.
Why is it that sometimes when I drink coffee, I still feel like I could fall asleep at any moment…

A letter to my former self on how to succeed in business.
Growing a business is all about FOCUS + CONSISTENCY.
20% of inputs dictate 80% of your results.
Doesn't matter if it's info, ecom, products, or services...
Find the 20% of inputs that drive 80% of results.
Then maximize input volume.
Assess if the current inputs are creating the expected output.
If not, alter input. If yes, keep going.
This is called a feedback loop.
Then, stay consistent over time. Set daily/weekly input targets. Then never miss a day.
The guy who works out for 20 minutes everyday for 10 years will be in better shape than the guy who works out for 3 hours when he "feels like it".
Don't get distracted by shiny objects or new tactics.
STAY, consistent.
Consistency is a funny thing in that you can only really experience it in retrospect.
Anyone can be disciplined for a day.
But one cannot be consistent for a day.
So find the 80/20 of your business.
Then show up everyday. Never miss a day.
Watch what happens in a few years.
Don't compare yourself to others today, compare yourself to who you were yesterday.
Have faith and stay humble.
Be the dumbest person in the room and learn from everyone around you.
Enjoy the journey.

Whop has raised $200M in Series D funding at a $5.1B valuation, backed by @sequoia and @shopify.
It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine.
We first launched Whop as a better way for us to sell sneaker bots, one of the most niche types of desktop software out there.
Total TAM? Probably $20,000 per day.
Who cares, tiny market.
But, what people discounted is the idea that there were actually 70,000 other markets exactly like that one.
Beyond the investment itself, I am especially excited to welcome legendary silicon valley investor @dougleone to our board of directors. Doug and the sequoia team are nothing but a brilliant, resourceful, and principled group of people.
My co-founder Cameron and I started building on Shopify when we were 13 years old. Shopify is one of the most impactful all-in-one cloud ecosystems ever created; @tobi has pioneered modern entrepreneurship the way we know it and we are thrilled to have him in our corner.
We have a tenet at Whop to be the dumbest in the room and I am very grateful that this has recently become a lot easier.
We are focused on markets, scale economies, and progressive media. If that is up your alley, please message me directly.
The $200M raised will support our expansion as we build economic infrastructure for the next century, continuing on our mission of delivering everyone an income.

How to build an ecom business that actually pays you along the way:
1. Get really good at direct response
Understand your customer and learn to make ads, offers and landing pages that sell. If you suck at acquiring customers, you’re ngmi
2. Have good margins and know your numbers
Preferably 75%+ after COGS and 60%+ after fulfillment.
Track your unit economics daily.
Know what you can afford to pay for a customer and what’s left after all costs.
3. Stay lean
Learn how to implement and use AI across your whole business (creative, ops, supply chain, customer service, email, etc) before throwing more people and expensive agencies at problems.
You can get a shitload done with a small team.
Keep overhead low, both people and software.
4. Have a plan for getting people to buy again
Could be subscriptions, promos, limited editions or new product drops.
Give customers a reason to come back.
And ofc, a product worth buying again and a good experience. No retention flow can replace those.
5. Negotiate every major line item
COGS, shipping, fulfillment, software.
Both prices AND payment terms.
As volume grows, stop accepting the deal you got when you were tiny.
Lower costs and better payment terms free up more cash to take out or reinvest into growth.
