"The teacher learns more than the student"


I've spent years learning ecommerce.

I've worked in a team, bought courses, joined discords, studied with mentors, read books, watched videos...

Did pretty much anything you can think of to learn as much as I could about this game.

But until recently I was missing the final piece of the puzzle.

Teaching what I have learned.

This is what completes the circle and fully integrates the most important lessons.

Because unless you can break a topic down into something a 5th grader would understand...

You don't truly understand it yourself.

Give it a shot.

There are several ways you can go about it:

  • Join a discord and drop sauce on what you're doing
  • Start posting on twitter
  • Share between a group of friends
  • Start an email list

The most important thing is to start writing about what you've learned and sharing it publicly.

This not only helps you master the subject.

But also improves humanity as a whole by helping the people 1 step behind you win too.

This isn't a zero sum game.

We can all win together.

I can't wait to share everything I've learned the past 4 years on the call tonight.

And answer any questions you might have.

See you there,

Boryan

My Magnum Opus

Over the past 3 years I've been slowly developing my way of life. I started with the simple goal of being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want. It took countless lessons and more time than expected, but I finally realized my dream. I want to help you do the same, so I started leaving a trail of breadcrumbs.

This was my dream for the longest time. I wanted to build a machine that printed money, automate it, and then spend all my time doing something I loved. Every decision I made was intended to achieve this goal. The moment I got my first brand running I tried to delegate everything. I hired an intern to make me creatives I hired an email agency to run emails I hired a content manager I hired a video editor I hired a project manager I hired 6 customer service agents I hired a second agency to...

42 Simple as that. I tend to overcomplicate it a lot, so it's good to remind myself the answer every now and then. You might also be struggling with some existential questions right now: What is my purpose? What am I truly passionate about? What am I meant to do in this life? What will bring me fulfillment? What is going to make me happy? This happens to me pretty often. Not really the "fulfillment and happiness" side of the question. But more so: how can I best contribute to humanity? I was...

If you're running at anything under $10M per year. You probably land square in the social arbitrage category. That means the lifeblood of your business is almost entirely cold traffic from meta (or one of the other social media platforms.) If you were to turn of your campaigns you would have a slow trickle of orders coming in that would quickly dry up. That is the brutal reality. And something that took me a long time to come to grips with. See, at the end of the day there are only 2 ways to...
