One of my mentors once told me that a ‘guru’ is the worst person to learn from. I couldn’t understand that back then, but now I know this is spot on. You see, ‘gurus’ have been ‘gurus’ for too long. Sure, they’ve been through the same things you experience right now… But that was a looooooong time ago. Now they have become full-time ‘teachers’. And even though we still spend most of our time in the trenches of the eCom world… We also wanted to give you a different perspective on growing your store. From someone who was in your shoes just a couple of months back. So we asked 3 of our most successful mentees for the advice they would give someone who feels stuck and run out of things to try. And here it is: 1 – Armita and Pedram who increased their sales by 50% compared to last year: “You’ll make mistakes, your website might look ugly and your ads might not work. But that’s part of the process. It sounds cliche, but if you're dedicated to doing it and trying to enjoy the process – it’s all possible.” 2 – Kelly, who bumped up her online sales by 952% after joining MME: “Be hyper-focused on one type of customer. This doesn’t mean nobody else is going to buy from you. Plus, schedule the time you’ll work on your store in your calendar as a mandatory event – and don’t let any excuse come up.” 3 – Marten who increase his revenue by 27% with our email flows “Be patient. Don’t make the mistake to think you know it all already. Start with building a strong foundation first before you go and build the roof.” Hope that helps. P.S. If you want to hang out with our expert coaches AND Armita, Pedram, Kelly, Marten, and many more every week… Complete your application here to see if you’re a great fit to become our mentee too.

@Scott Cunningham often mentions hellotushy.com (they sell easy to install bidets) as an example of full-on branded marketing at every step. I don't need any more product from them (we only have so many toilets in our home), but I stay subscribed to their texts and emails. And they can be OVER THE TOP from time to time. So today I got this check in text, which I thought was interesting. I've included a screenshot of both St. Pat's and today, so you can see what they're doing. It seems they are going to start having 2 levels of content (super cheeky and less so) for every text....
