How Brian Built a Successful eBay Dropshipping Business!

so when faced with a major setback or roadblock most new entrepreneurs or business owners usually blame it on circumstances outside of their control and just give up but today I have on the show someone different not your typical entrepreneur his name is Brian Williams he's an ebay drop shipper yes a YouTube channel he is a pretty awesome Instagram account and if you follow him you know that he never gives up and keeps pushing through no matter what so I wanted to bring him on the channel and get an idea from him what it is that motivates drives him and of course we're gonna dive into his backstory here how he got started with making money online so without further ado Brian what's up man I'm so glad that you decided to join us oh thanks for having me man this is pretty you know on some yeah this is really cool I'm super excited um I actually got the chance to meet Paul at one of his meet ups and I actually found out about Paul through one of my friends who had gotten one of his courses and I actually had the privilege to go out and buy his course too and I couldn't have said how happy I was just to get it and how much it helped improve my dropshipping game on eBay and Paul actually held a meet-up and that's where I met Paul and he's been an awesome dude just connect with him every once in a while and talk to him about eBay dropshipping and just how we can how I can improve my store and just become you know better day by day thanks for that Brian really appreciate it and it was great meeting you at the meetup we're gonna be having more of those coming up so if you're interested in those anyone who's watching us stay tuned because I'll be making some announcements about those in the future that was great meeting everyone wouldn't you say like just hanging out with everyone finally putting you know faces at people's names was pretty awesome for me I think it was great um it sometimes it can be pretty you know lonely when you're in this business and you don't have that many people to connect to so when you get the option to meet other entrepreneurs and just like to business individuals who have like the same goal is the same ideas as you it's really inspiring and those types of people I like to be around because sometimes they can be hard to find so it was a really awesome Meetup I learned a lot got to meet a lot of people I had a really great time yeah I agree are there a lot of people in your life who have kind of the same mindset as you to be an entrepreneur so it's like a hit or miss um not I've like a couple of friends maybe one or two at work who have a strong entrepreneurial spirit uh I got one of my buddies Jeremy it's good friend of mine he is doing his own landscaping company right now and he's doing phenomenal and I applaud him every day because it's super hard to get a company up and off the ground with no blueprint no formal training no you know insider knowledge about how to run a business and he's been able to do that and it's been really inspiring I think having more people around me like that just helps push me that much further so he's one guy who I talked to on a daily basis and we talk business and just keeps me motivated yeah definitely well let's uh let's get into your backstory because people might not know who you are so I gave a brief intro but once you tell people more about who you are and then maybe you can go back and tell how you got into all this awesome all right ah so where my entrepreneurial journey began so I was pretty much in high school and it's actually a crazy story um I had loved designing um I don't know if you guys ever get a chance to take out my Instagram page but I learned a lot of those skills when I was in high school and I was really fortunate to have some really good mentors and teachers around me that taught me graphic design a lot of individuals who taught me how to brand myself pretty well so I was fortunate enough to learn this in the early stages within high school so when I first got it started in entrepreneur as being an entrepreneur was in high school when I wanted to create a type of t-shirt or a different type of brand and I had always been really good at drawing so I thought it would be cool to create a t-shirt and a guy that I know who was in a band had just created his first t-shirts for his band and I was like blown away I was like whoa that's amazing you just put a design on a shirt like how do I do that like that's really cool and for a while he was holding back his secret he wouldn't tell me he was like now I'm not gonna tell you where I got it from it I'm like why man like I just want to do the same thing it looks cool like can we both do it and

you were just like he was just like no no for like the longest time eventually he gave up his uh his secret and I learned right away like where to go to get these t-shirts done so I don't know if I was always a go-getter but like this just drove me like to go get it done I was so like ambitious about this I was like man I really want to do this so I went down and I talked to the t-shirt printing company and they talked to me about how much it was gonna cost and the price I think was around like 250 or 300 dollars and I was like well you know like 16 like I had a part-time job at Taco Bell I was like alright how am I supposed to come up with this money to like pay for all this stuff so I was like alright so I worked for like a month and a half two months straight and I just saved up everything I had and I put that all towards like these t-shirts in this design that I created and what I did I talked to the guys and they got the t-shirts done I think it was in about two weeks so I got this box of t-shirts and I was like alright well now I'm gonna bring him to school and I'm gonna see if I can like sell them so I would carry around this box of t-shirts with me going through the whole school and everybody was like what's in the box and I'd show him and they'd be like whoa like that's pretty cool and it was just a t-shirt that I designed and it went over really well I sold every single shirt in like a matter of two days that's amazing he still have that shirt somewhere I have a couple of them yes I do always see a design she posted to Instagram yeah I would definitely be about that sounds awesome cool so that's kind of how I got into my entrepreneurial journey um but later on like I had dabbled in a bunch of other things so one of the main things that really um got hard for me was definitely getting traffic so as I started to create new t-shirts and I started to build up my brand when I was in high school it got hard to get out of my high school so I was really dominant within the high school but like trying to market outside of that was like incredibly tough I had like the hardest time I just could not gain any traction so I kept trying and unfortunately the money I had started to invest in it just it just wasn't working so I had done this for I tried it again in college and about two more other times and I had figured like oh maybe people just don't have money you know maybe people are just like not interested in these ideas anymore oh you know and I was like maybe it's this maybe it's that so I'd always constantly be trying to change something or like alter it or test a new market and stuff but it just wasn't gaining traction like it did in high school so that's how I first started learning about marketing and like the power of getting involved in a community before you sell something to them so that was one of the biggest like key things that I had learned so I realized later on in life like the people that bought from me was because they knew me and they trusted me and they liked everything that I created so when you go out and you're trying to do this in like you know the real world with like none of that behind you no trust factor no like friendship factor it gets really tough so that's one of the things I started to learn so after the t-shirts I dabbled in something else a friend of mine approached me and he was just like hey man I got this really cool idea and I was like yeah sure what's up cuz he had known that I had created t-shirts I'm sorry Alexa stop I got it likes to go another background but um he approached me and he was like hey man I want to create a video game with you and I want to do an app for it and I was like oh that sounds amazing I was like yeah let's do it that's totally cool so we have I hopped on board with that and we worked on it for about a whole year and this story gets pretty crazy so I did this video game for about a year and it was called bust them not it was so cool and it's about this it was on Android and it was about this squirrel who had to just it was like a runner so like the squirrel would just keep running but it used every aspect of the phone so you'd have to hold it vertical and it would climb up a tree and it would dodge axes and all these other obstacles and on top would be a lumberjack and a lumberjack was like holding this female squirrel captive and was like threatening to like burn down her forest and like cut off all the trees it was pretty cool it's kind of like a playoff Sonic the Hedgehog with like a squirrel so like that's how we went about it and the squirrel was able to fly and he was also able to run so we got really far with this game boy like halfway through it we started changing like the design concepts and I got really hard so for two people creating an indie game it is extremely difficult but here's the really cool stuff about it so I started getting into the marketing again with this and I was like okay like we got this game it's like 3/4 of the way done like it's time for me to bring this out to the public so what I started to do

was I started to approach indie developers and indie communities and I actually had the privilege of going to UM oh my gosh indeed it was like an indie developer conference and you were able to pitch your game or app idea at this conference and it was amazing so Xbox was there PlayStation was there Nintendo was there Microsoft was there it was amazing oh the VR sets were there they were brand new at the time these guys were just coming out with Facebook's um VR headset they had some of the first ones I had ever seen and it was so cool this was a New York State ball it was at oh my gosh the Museum of the moving image I can't remember what it is but like that's where we first started to pitch this so I went in there and we sat through all the conferences and I got to listen to all these keynote speakers from PlayStation to Microsoft and Nintendo and then on the last day we were offered an opportunity to sign up to give a five minute pitch about our game so I had worked that whole night because I didn't expect this to happen but I've worked that whole night creating a presentation to showcase like this whole thing because I was like oh my god it's gonna be on an app like how am I supposed to get the phone out to everybody so I was like all right so they got this like projector and I was like okay I can maximize like the potential of this if I just show what the game does and like how it works and stuff so I created this awesome projection about how everything worked in the game what it looks like all the characters all the different designs all the concepts and everything and we pitched it and it went well Nintendo pulls me off to the side one of the directors from Nintendo and he goes how long so you guys finish this game and in the back of my mind I'm thinking like really you work for Nintendo you want to like look at this game and he was like he's like I'm serious I still have his card and everything so he's like yes and the reason and I had learned this later was because the market for indie developers on Nintendo was very small at this time so they were trying to get as many indie developers and as possible it's a little bit bigger now not as big as like your Microsoft or your PlayStation but it's getting bigger and they're dominating this market and now with the Nintendo switch it's only gonna get even bigger well when I was coming in it wasn't a Nintendo switch wasn't out yet and neither were a lot of these games for the indie developer market yeah so we created this game when we got to pitch it but we just fell short on it and we just never finished it and I was like oh my god like I still get asked about this all the time like what happened to your game we'll have at your game I'm like we still got it I just never released it was like we had to learn the whole programming language it got really complicated so we sent that off to the wayside so I decided to like relax for a little bit and I was like huh you know maybe entrepreneurial stuff isn't for me but like I always had like this really strong grasp on it and I just really wanted to pursue it and like I knew you know when riding a bike or anything else like that it's gonna take a few times you're gonna fall and you're gonna like you know um not make it to where you want to go so knowing that I was like you know what I just can't give up on this like I see the potential of it I see like the freedom it offers and I was just like I really want to do this and like I only get you know you only get one shot at life and I was like I just want to do something with my life that I'm gonna back and I'm just gonna tell my kids I'm just like yeah I tried this like I failed at it but I did do it you know like I messed up here but I tried it I did not like hold myself back at all I went as hard as I could doing whatever I wanted to do trying to make things work like and just like pushing myself as much as I could like this is I did this I tried so like I always felt like that was something to keep yourself motivated like just try it look where you got to lose you know and I was never the type of kid to like you know feel embarrassed over anything else just like I mess up like things happen so you just gotta keep pushing so I mean you gotta if you can't laugh at yourself sometimes then like you know you're taking yourself too seriously you just gotta push like who cares and only nobody's gonna remember this like everybody's thinking about themselves anyway so like whatever so like long story short I gave myself a rest for a little bit and I just got the tribe again at some point so at one point I was just sitting in college and I had learned like you know all Gary Vaynerchuk came out and he was doing this thrifting idea and I was like man I was like that sounds like a good idea I was like everyone who Gary is if they don't know Gary Bay [ __ ] Gary Vaynerchuk is a loud outspoken entrepreneur he's really awesome he goes AWOL a lot but like he is one of the most motivational speakers like inspirational people you can ever listen to if you ever you know feel self-doubt or like you know you're down on your luck or like you feel like you know you just don't have it in you put on Gary Vee he's gonna change your whole perspective he's gonna make you want to go that much further and he's just like

just makes you think like one of the craziest like videos I think I ever saw of him was like he's like you know how lucky you are to be alive he's like you could have been a plant like an elephant you know some miniscule object or like you know insect or animal within this world but you're a human like do you know how crazy that is and like and that always like sticks in my mind I'm like oh my god like this guy is a hundred percent right like when do I ever sit back and I'm just like wow I beat the odds like um I'm an actual person I think you know like it barely ever happened so I always thought that was amazing and that just got to me one day he knows how to get inside you and turn on that switch to activate you to do something and try your hardest said something and that's why Gary Vaynerchuk is somebody that I like and I don't care if other people are just like oh he's you know he talks too much he's not on track with everything like I don't think that's what his main purpose is I think it's just to drive you so I think his you know key things Gary Vaynerchuk does are to give you inspiration to push you forward he shows you what he's done and like he's just trying to show it like look like I built this with nothing like you can do it too and I'll be here to push you and motivate you so like dad always got to me and I was like and this guy is awesome so I started watching gary vaynerchuk's like thrifting I think was 2016 or 2017 and I started it so I got a few apps and I learned how to buy and sell certain items so I started getting good at it and I learned how to buy items on Facebook marketplace and it was brand new at the time Facebook marketplace was just coming out so I was like oh this is on top market I was never comfortable with Craigslist you never know what you were gonna get you couldn't see the person I never knew if I was gonna get scammed but with Facebook marketplace you can see that person's profile picture you can see it ahead of time you knew what you were gonna get so I was like okay so I found a couple of apps and they taught me the value of items before I want to buy them so if I found a buyer who had an item that I saw that was well sought out and that had a price point that was less than what it sold for I went out and I bought it so that's what I started to do I started picking up toys I started buying um a lot of Apple TV's a lot of people weren't buying the Apple TVs and I started picking those up and I Drive to like New Jersey I would drive to Connecticut all over New York I would just drive all over buying all these different types of items and then I'll resell them on eBay so that just kind of got me started with my entrepreneurial journey on eBay after you know a short amount of time like all right this is working but you know it was tedious like you make like you know $15 a day like $20 here if you were lucky I had to negotiate prices sometimes people would flake out so you'd be like doing all this all the time so I got I was like all right like I like doing this but it's just taking up a lot of time so I learned shortly after that like fire sticks were becoming like super popular and I actually learned how to make and sell fire sticks so I was like alright so fire sticks would be cool so will not make them but like download all the programs and stuff on them so I was like alright people don't know how to do this so I started you know helping people with the fire sticks for a while and then I with that I kind of like that builds up a reputation as somebody who knew like how to market and sell things so my one of my dad had known this guy who was working with cars and he actually owns a towing company so my dad's like oh you know maybe I can hook you up with him and you're gonna sell for them on the side so I was like yeah that sounds totally cool so he introduced me to the guy and my dad's like oh yeah you just be selling like headlights and Grille parts and stuff like that so as soon as I meet the guy the guys like yeah I got a $65,000 wrecker I want you to sell and I'm like what like I'm like okay so he's like yeah I need this sold like ASAP and I was like oh my god like $65,000 so I was like this is crazy so I just got on the computer and I just entered all these like towing company groups and I started calling every single day like all these tow companies based out of every single state I would grab the phone book and I was like yo I got this Brecker like get all the specs from me I would call him up I'd be texting them at the same time like what does this mean what does that mean it text me right back and he would just feel like all right so I just like negotiate all these like wheels and stuff and I got lucky enough to actually get a buyer and it happened to be through even actually the buyer was from Miami and they wanted to buy it right away and I sold it within one week so $65,000 a record and we I made about four percent profit on that which I was

amazed by that like you know like I didn't know how much to charge it was worth I'm like I'm home like yeah four percent will work like I'll do that so it was cool I came home looked like a few grand and I was like this is amazing so like that's how it got me started with that later on how I got involved with eBay dropshipping I had at this point I had like set up a pretty successful eBay store and I've already established myself on eBay I wanted to get involved in something that would give me a freedom lifestyle and I was looking for something where I could just work on a computer and then I could just like travel the world like that's one of my biggest things like I want to travel I want a freedom and I just want to roam and just like do a bunch of crazy stuff I actually got my store up and running and shortly not shortly after I got a successful store and started to brand myself and just you know just show everybody who I was and I had some trouble in the beginning just like everybody else I couldn't get pricing right I was having issues figuring out suppliers like figuring the whole concept out I really didn't know how it works like there's like a couple of things that you know help you get forward that um just come with like horses and time and just like commitment so that's what I would say so like that help me push my store forward and then um probably in September October or September one of those months I actually did my best month ever and I did over a hundred thousand dollars in sales and I was probably at one of your meet ups at that time and I was just showing everybody else I guess I finally got here I think I feel awesome stuff yeah awesome so I'm just curious for a second because you were doing things like you were selling this wrecker you were selling other things on eBay so is the reason you switch is just because you wanted something that was more location independent yes like that's been a big driving factor for me and like I loved selling the wreckers and like just buying and selling things I had a blast doing it but like it was very time consuming and I just wanted the freedom lifestyle to be able to travel I think that's one of my biggest dreams with my entrepreneurial journey I just really want to travel the world nice so that would you say that that's like your why well yeah this that's definitely totally my why there's so much out there I want to see and if you know I feel like if I'm working a nine-to-five or like for my instance right now at 2:00 to 4:00 to 8:00 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. every single day like I'm having a tough time like getting all over the place to go see everything so I'm like ah though how do you keep going just I just want that I just have that drive man like I just have the Y in the back of my head so like a couple of things that drive me and so my wife has I actually just got married in August of this past year and my wife has a pretty crazy restaurant schedule and sometimes it a groove AIT's me and I'm like oh like how can I make this easier for both of us cuz she works a lot on the weekends and I'm just like man I'm trying to like you know make things easier for us and my job comes with a lot of benefits um it has health care it has a 401k I have the TSP retirement program there are a lot of good things at my job offers so it wouldn't be beneficial for me to leave my job right now so I try to figure out what I can do to increase our time together and one of the main things that I can do is just really go as hard as I possibly can on this business to try to you know get that time eventually with her so overall I know that's starting a business and you know creating something that is more it's not that's more not based off location but I can move around with me that it'll create more time with us so that's one of my driving factors I know once you started dropshipping you had some setbacks even with that after you got going started to see success so do you want to tell everyone what happened do you not want to talk about it yeah man I'm totally open I'll talk about whatever I don't really care though like yeah certain things that like knocked me off so one of the biggest issues that recently just happened so oh there was the MCO one-one restriction that happened on my small store which really frickin sucked so what happened was I just created $100,000 like eBay store and I was really excited about that I figured like I knew a majority of the things that it took to get going on eBay and to stay established and to start turning a revenue so I was like okay like now the next smart move to do would be to build another store and I did and the store was fine like it was

working everything was going smooth and there were really no issues like to date on it um looking back on it now what I think I should have done differently or maybe started off going slower so that was one of my main things I think I've pushed it too hard I was like yes like I know the strategies now I know the concepts I just want to like push this as fast as I can to get it going and I think that gets into your head once you start to become successful you're like okay like you don't need to take the pace that you think you originally did but you really should so like the story goes slow and steady wins the race and that's how you learn so the second store it was going good I think I got it up to like 30,000 and about like a month and a half and then I was negotiating with another software company and we were getting ready to sponsor me and like I was in all these cool like programs and stuff and I was like man this stuff is starting to work right this is having potential here like this may actually work so the sudden like eBay hits me up one day and they're like yeah your stores done and I'm just like that's like they're like you're a small store I got hit with the MCO one-one they're asking for all these like you know receipts and everything and I'm just like all right like I can do this I can get all the information that require and I'm like I got I'm not worried about this like it'll blow over so I try and I try and this is going on for like a month and a half and like we're getting like nowhere and I find out that this store just can't be restarted it's just done so I let the store like falls in the way so I don't I'm really angry at this but I get this awesome email that says you can keep your main account um so I took it as a grain of salt I was really bummed I was like piss but I was like part I still got this main account let me just keep pushing it so my main account a lot of things started going problematic with it so it um there were these changes that came in and oh my god they were so annoying so then they started increasing the 4% penalty fees that got on top of your returns if you had too many orders that were like returned or like items not as described and that was a big thing I brought up at your meeting and I was just like oh I was so upset by this because there was no real way to combat it unless like you could either take a loss on those items at the time or increase your overall profit margin to a certain percent which would decrease your sales and like decrease your profit altogether so it was like a lose-lose situation all around that really stung I got hit with that for like another two months and I'm like crap like I'm still like I'm floating here but I think I'm like slowly going underwater and I'm just like oh my god like how did I go from like this high up to like back here yeah I'm just like I've been here before like I'm just prepared for this I'm just like whatever like this now it's like sink or swim so I'm just like what am I gonna do I'm just gonna give up and I'm just like I'm just gonna stop so all my phone I have this like cool thing and I plugged in there one day when I was talking to my wife and she's been like my rock and just like pushing me forward like 10 all the time and it [ __ ] and it says on there it says like you can take a break but don't quit and I have don't quit in like huge letters because that seems too like he's a downfall for everybody and I get it like everybody's like oh my god they just get too tired they get frustrated they like lose too much money they like have too much skin in the game and they're hurt and I get it but like I in the long run what I've come down to is just understanding like take a break like just put it aside take a break take a deep breath and come back to it because sometimes that's all you need just don't give up on it like you may be like losing money but like look this is a marathon it's not a sprint like you gotta learn this and like see the potato it's gonna offer you in the future like their this is a platform it's not going anywhere there's gonna be new changes that'll get you to where you want to go so understanding that and like talking to her and like I'd be like oh my god you know like if I'm I think I gotta quit like I think we're like losing too much here and she be like should be like just wait to the end of the month and I'm like no I'm like I think I really gotta get this time like I'm really not trying to like lose this much money like just Waits and I'm just like I look at my phone it's like don't quit I'm like well alright let me sit back and I'm like I'll come back to it and then like we'll get going again and then like a milestone to happen I'm like yes I'm turning profit again oh my god finally and then something will happen and like baby I gotta quit I got to get out this happened like three times in a row and she was just like just shut up sit back put your head down think about it don't quit and rest and keep going so like that really helped me like just having her being able to talk to me and just like you know push me forward and just keep me motivated and just like being the foundation that I needed to

realize like sometimes you get lost and you're just like you don't want to embarrass yourself you want to embarrass everybody else and you don't want to come down as somebody who was like arrogant or too cocky and like show-off ish and I know sometimes I can come off like that but it's just me being happy about where I am and I'm just like I'm really excited like I'm looking at the potential that I can offer everybody else in the future it's and I know what comes off as arrogant and like conceited probably and just like it can be viewed in the wrong way but just like no my intentions are good and like I am just trying to do the best I can so that I can give back when I get to a point where I'm just like okay I made it here and now I can give back like so much more so there in my mind I'd have goals that I'd like to accomplish and like ways I'd like to give back and like help everybody else so when you're up on this like you know you're making moves and like you got people who are like hitting you up messaging you like oh how do I get here how can I grow my biz as big as yours and I'm trying to give him all these insights and then in the background my business is like getting hit hard and you're trying to swim through all these obstacles and like still help people so it gets kind of hard so I stuck with it and I kept going with it and then this past month again I mean I'm definitely not doing as many sales as I was up to a hundred thousand I think this past month I was under fifty thousand but I'm still turning a profit and I think that's the main thing that I took out of this like okay like it doesn't matter you know the time and the commitment it matters that you're putting into it but like overall what you're trying to achieve out of this is to generate profit every little bit helps doesn't matter if it's five dollars ten dollars like that money is extra money that you can then use later on to help propel you in the future so that's how I started to look at it and like maybe the revenue stream isn't as good as $100,000 a month when I took home like 3 to 4 K that was pretty awesome but like it's still there and it I got a look at it as like a revenue stream that I started and there's potential to do it again just it's full learning process so that's how I got to where I am and some of the obstacles I faced you know I follow you on Instagram and I don't think you come across as conceited at all and you know it's if you really think about it it's the complete opposite because you're putting yourself out there you know and you kind of talked about this before when you when something exciting happens to you and I do the same thing on my Instagram we like celebrate like oh my gosh like look this was an awesome month but that's a very vulnerable thing to do because then the next month if you don't do as well you know it can feel you know in that moment when you're celebrating there's always at least for me in the back of my head I'm always thinking you know what if next month I don't do as well then it's almost like I'm embarrassing myself now because I set the bar too high almost or people's expectations so I think it's the complete opposite of being conceited I appreciate that man you're making me feel better yeah I agree 100% Paul because like sometimes you get you just if you never know like what's gonna happen like what tomorrow can bring like the day today you could be up tomorrow you could be down but overall you just got to keep pushing forward and just I think just showcase as much as you can and just document everything like this Tyler just started telling me about this and I think it was an awesome thing to do like just he's like he pushed me back and he was just like dude you gotta get back on YouTube and I'm just like dude I'm like screwing up like I don't want it like you know like help people and I promote myself I'm like I have these obstacles I'm going to use I just tell people about it and I was just like oh my god like you're so right like you know and I'm just thinking in the back of my head like why did I stop you know so like I made a commitment actually you got me going again because you put out the book the 12-week year and I don't every time you tell me to read a book I do it so I read the grant cardone 10 X book - so I didn't read it but I have it on audible and every hour I spent in my freaking car driving to work I have that thing going so I do read everything you tell me to read every time you guys talk to me I take it and I listen to it and I try to implement it so I listen to everybody's guidance I have no qualms I've always I'm an open book and I'm only here to learn people may know things that I don't know and that 12-week yearbook opened me up to getting things done faster so now I just want to show you Paul I got this stupid calendar that I have in front of you and I write everything down on so I can keep going so that's how I'm keeping myself motivated I'm checking my profits every day and I'm just pushing myself forward like how can I get to the next level how can I push myself forward just being open and I'm

trying to document everything and just show people it's not all you know sunshine and rainbows some days are really tough but those days make you even better than the days where you're doing great so that's how I keep pushing absolutely I agree with that 100% so people wanted to connect with you what's the best way they could do that yeah um I have a youtube account my YouTube handle I think it's called is hustle Williams so if you type hustle Williams you can find me on there if you guys want to see some of my journey and like how my stores have been where I'm at now and I'm just gonna keep documenting everything I'm doing and just tried to provide you guys with great insight on drop shipping I'm moving into learning Amazon right now um actually cool thing happened the other day Ron Meyers reached out to me and he was talking to me so it was really cool guys so shout out to you Ron thanks for you know pushing me forward and it's been really cool man just like cool things are happening right now so I'm happy about that so he reached out to me he's like I'll get you on the on board with Amazon and I'm like yes thank you because like the amount of time that I have is like so limited so I'm just like I just need to learn this like him you can show me I will do this so he's just like yeah I got sure gosh so that was really cool and I also have an Instagram account so like if you saw today um well actually if you guys go on my Instagram I just did a little behind the scenes with Paul before we jumped on to this so I like to just show you guys like what I'm doing in my average my daily life and like a little bit behind the scenes so it's not like everything you're just getting out of YouTube all over again it's like a little bit more so it's a little bit in depth and like a little bit of daily motivation I throw it out throw out there and like that's when I get to use all my cool filters on like my movie creator studio so I like to just mess with stuff and put music on there so awesome well we'll have your YouTube linked up below your Instagram linked up below and you guys you gotta be following Brian make sure you also go into your settings on Instagram and make sure you get alerts when people go live because Brian knows goes live you can ask them anything I'm sure I'll answer any questions you guys have very open about that but Brian thanks so much for coming on telling your story I found it really inspirational I think a lot of other people will as well if you have any last things you want to say um if you guys are going through a struggle right now just write down on a piece of paper on your phone on your laptop like somewhere on your wall on your mirror on your fridge somewhere just like don't quit and surround yourself by people who are gonna push you forward I know you got everybody in this world is like trying to you know all you're never gonna make it you're not gonna do that like let them talk like just you know you got this little ocean up here and they say like your brain is like a boat okay and you're trying to keep this boat afloat don't sink your own ship is how it goes okay so just stay positive and like things will keep working as long as you stay consistent just keep trying like maybe some things will change and you'll have to change with them but just keep trying that would be my number one thing to say I'm finish awful awesome thank you well thanks so much again and have a good one gosh Paul thank you
