But when you're surrounded by like minded entrepreneurs, that collective wisdom that you get from everyone's shared experiences, it just elevates everyone's game, you know, the saying that a rising tide lifts all the boats, well think of the dropship and masterclass community as that kind of trusted panel of advisors that you need as an entrepreneur, because when you go out on your own, you need that board of directors, that group of trusted advisors that you can help who can help you with any challenges that you face, which you will face many along your way.

It really is. It's it's alive, you don't just get access to a program, and then you're thrown the program and you never hear from us again. It's not like that at all. It's a completely live thing. As soon as you're in that community. You get it straightaway. You understand that? Okay, now I'm around the hundreds of entrepreneurs, I wouldn't otherwise be able to access and get all in one place. And now I can just go back and forth with them about the journey that you're about to take, because they've all been through that same journey, and you've got people that are ahead of you. The place is alive with support but also celebrating success. And it really builds up momentum after you go into the community.

I think it helps to illustrate the value of this giveaway. Lewis. So take us through some of the the sort of first names that come to your mind when you think about the success stories we've had through the dropship unlocks masterclass. Yeah, it brings it to life, doesn't it when you put real people has case studies and names behind it. So, I mean, we have got hundreds of fantastic members. And we've got more joining us every single day, which just makes our community stronger. Every time someone joins us, they can add more to the community help others it Brett grows that collective entrepreneurial, like Hive, mind hive brain, you know, so it's a great and community but a few specific stories that spring to mind as of recently, and one of our recent joining members, Phil, so he joined us and was starting from scratch with his dropshipping business and within four months, so generated over 100,000 pounds. Thanks to that strategies in the support he received. That was a really good story, we had a podcast recently where we featured Phil, so that's worth a listen, as well. And another one that springs to mind that shows what's possible in such a short timeframe as well, especially with no prior experience was dropship, unlocked member ceramiche. So Suraj started working with us in the master class, and he hit 12,000 pounds in sales in just his first two months. And that was from a completely cold start, as well. So great to see the results he had. And then there's Taytay generated 30,000 pounds in her first four months, which was amazing to see. And Sue recently made over 2000 pounds in sales within her first couple of weeks of running out as well. So really, really nice stories, and obviously the one that always springs to mind for me, and is one of our earlier members. Actually, Jared. Now, he generated 4 million pounds in sales since joining the program. And so that was an amazing story. And in fact, we actually shared his full case study in Episode 39, of the dropship honours podcast. So you can watch that way, if you're interested. But the important thing to note about those stories, they're not just the financial success stories, but they're about personal growth, and the confidence that comes with it. That's one of the most powerful things that we see is that that personal development and growth from members in our programs, you know, we've met these people as well, like we've chatted to them in person I live dropship unlock to meet ups. And they really are all great people. So I guess that's the kind of caliber we're aiming for when we're selecting members to join our program.

Now opportunities like this one that especially those that are free, don't come around all too often in life. So if you're listening to this, and maybe you're thinking I'd never win that there's no point in me answering I might as well not bother. Just ask yourself for a moment. How many other people listening to this do you think might be thinking the same thing as you right now? So what if you took the 30 seconds that it takes and you actually bothered to follow this? That could be enough to set you apart and would grant you a free entry ticket you into our competition. Yeah, so take the action, just three steps and you'll be entered into the competition with a chance of being selected to join the dropship unlocked masterclass. So, a few small steps and you'll be in with a chance to win. So Louis with people that are going to enter, they're going to take that step they're ready to join up and they want to have a chance to win. What does the masterclass actually involve? Well, yeah, winning and the full access to our six week masterclass mentorship program is significant and our cover kind of everything that's that's covered within the masterclass. So, everything from mindset to foundations to getting up and running, making sales into eventually outsourcing your business so that you can gain complete, financial and time freedom is covered. So we'll go through Week One of the program is your foundations and mindset. So once you go through this week, you will have all of the right infrastructure in place both mentally, so your mindset will be on track, but also physically to set you up for success into the future. So that's things like registering your limited company, getting your business bank account set up getting all of the systems and processes in place ready to go. So we can hit the ground running in week two. Now Week two is deciding which products to sell. Then once you have your niche selected, and you're confident that is backed up with data, then Week Three is about building your new online store. So by going through the over the shoulder tutorial videos in this week, by the end of week three, you'll have an amazing looking store, even if you've never built one before, that ticks all of the boxes and is ready to start generating new sales. And it will even look great to suppliers, which is helpful because in week four, that's where we're going to start showing you how to sign your UK based suppliers. That means by the end of week four, you'll have high quality UK based suppliers signed up, many of whom cannot the next day delivery to your customers, which is amazing. And most importantly, these are reputable and extremely profitable suppliers for you. So you'll be really confident in what to say to them how to approach them, because you have all of the supplier contact scripts that we give you a step by step guidance on how to approach them what to say how to overcome any objections they may have all from tried and tested experience. Then once you have your store built to or suppliers signed, and it's time for week five, so that's where we help you make your first online high ticket sales. So by the end of week five, you'll have your ad campaigns up and running and live. And you can start to generate your first few high ticket sales. So if for example, you made your first sale for 2000 pounds, so a 2000 pound product at a 30% profit margin, that's 600 pounds in profit that you could then reinvest back into more advertising, or scaling up your business hiring a virtual assistant, or even just taking it out and paying yourself that amount. The choice is yours at that, which takes us on to week six. Now, Week Six is all about unlocking your freedom. So at this point, you've built a business, you're making sales, you're making profit, and you are the CEO of your business. But we want to help you go from CEO to company owner, so that by the end of week six, you've used all of our guides on how to outsource processes in your business how to hire and train a virtual assistant so that you have complete freedom over your time. And you can step back from the day to day operations in your business. And so you just have a business that generates you sales on autopilot wherever you are in the world, and hardly takes up any of your time. So that's all in on Demand training videos, we've got 30 plus hours worth of over the shoulder tutorials screenshare content. Plus on top of that we've got two weekly q&a calls where you can jump on Zoom and ask any questions of us live. And then perhaps the biggest part of this whole thing is our amazing community. So this is where you'll be surrounded by hundreds of other aspiring successful entrepreneurs who are willing you on and supporting you on your journey. So that's what you're getting. And we will be announcing the winner in just three weeks from the release of this episode. So don't hire out. And by the way, if you're watching or listening to this later than three weeks after the release of the episode will continuously be providing free spaces into the masterclass to reviewing podcast listeners. So if you enter this competition, you could still be in with a chance to win. So this will be done at random intervals after the initial winner is picked three weeks after the release date of this episode. So make sure you enter today for your chance to win. And by the way, if you're already a member of the masterclass you can absolutely still take How to Knit, they'll follow the three steps. And if you win and you're selected, we'll just send you back your investment that you paid already for joining the program. So key points there. So three weeks is not time to hang around, definitely jump on that and give yourself the opportunity. And even if you're past that initial first three weeks, as I said, at random intervals, we'll be announcing new winners and new places into the masterclass community for people who have completed the three steps that Lewis has outlined. So I'm excited to get these people on board and to really watch their journeys. Because the value of this giveaway isn't the I don't see it as actually the the price of the fee of joining the community, the investment that you that you make when you join the masterclass the value is actually the business that you build. And it's the, you know, there's multiple people in the community that have made six figure seven figure businesses from the masterclass training and the community that that's created there. So the value is immense. And I'm so glad that we're able to give away this opportunity for people who may not have joined otherwise. But still, if you are already in the masterclass, don't let this put you off into another way you can still win because you won't be able to be winners if you leave reviews and share the podcast. So some of the key learning sort of potential you've outlined there with the six week program. But what are some of the things that you noticed that people really mentioned that they really enjoyed learning from the masterclass community? Yes, some of the most beneficial aspects that our members who do join the program tell us is really just going from zero and no prior experience to having a profitable online ecommerce business up and running for the first time ever, in the space of six weeks, covering everything from the mindset required to succeed as an entrepreneur through to niche selection and using our data driven criteria system to select a group of winning products to sell to building your store, even if you've never built an e commerce website before signing those UK suppliers knowing what to say to them, knowing how to make sure you get it right the first time. And you don't burn any of your bridges by saying any of the wrong things. And then eventually making sales on autopilot with advertising and outsourcing business so that you can have your time back. So it really is designed to take you from ambition and wanting to start a business but perhaps not having any experience right through to having a foundation set up for a successful e commerce business. So we go really deep on some advanced strategies as well ensuring that our members are not just starting a business, but they're scaling it effectively as well. So we're constantly updating modules, keeping it live and making sure you are on the cutting edge of E commerce. Absolutely my goal as the Client Success Coach within the community, is to make as many members of the program as successful as possible. And that's what we strive to do every day and every week when we announce new modules and bring new additions to the program. So we've mentioned as well about the community and the benefit of being around like minded people. What would you say about about that for people what sort of opportunity to people have to get around like minded community, the community is a goldmine for networking, for offering opportunities to connect with other seasoned entrepreneurs, and newcomers as well. It's just a great way to build relationships. And some of the connections that are created inside that community lead to eventual collaborations and partnerships. And even friendships are really valuable in that entrepreneurial journey, because it can be a lonely path to go on alone. The other thing is the community collaboration cause we have so this is in addition to our twice weekly Question and Answer coaching calls, we have collaboration calls, which allow other members to exchange ideas and challenges opportunities. So they've been a great addition recently as well. They have, it's all part of the community coming to life. And we've seen things such as if people offering private zoom calls with each other within the memberships to help each other get over certain obstacles. We've seen people giving us free agile courses and modules within the program that they've created things that they've learned while building an E commerce business. They've recorded themselves doing it and we've added it into a extra resources section of the program, which we're going to be building out now over the next few months and years. And that again, it just shows that there's going to be a constant evolving, learning that people can pick up. We've also had those community collaboration calls that people are just jumping on explaining what they've learned recently, maybe highlighting a recent tool that they found really beneficial as the others about how they think they can get the most out of it. And it's all a fantastic position wherever just shares the learnings that they've had over the last few weeks and months of building the same type of business as each other. The community keeps growing and so does the program and the wealth of knowledge that's inside the community. So what do you think are some of the the key resources and the tools that are available as part of the masterclass? Well, members get access to over 30 hours of on demand step I stand for training videos. So they come from both you and I, James, these are updated regularly to make sure that we're staying on the cutting edge of E commerce. And as Jane has mentioned, as well, we've now got our member generated content being added into the program as well, which just adds a whole new dimension to what's available. We then got as well as the video modules, we've got tools that you get given. So basic things like and supplier contact template templates, and scripts for different parts of your website, policy pages about pages, checklists to make sure that you're compliant and your your ad account is safe before you go live with your store. And making sure that you're tracking your profit and your bookkeeping sounds boring, but it's really important. And it's specific to UK businesses so that we're taking into account VAT and corporation tax and making sure that you've set aside enough cash in your business to thrive and to scale successfully. So we give you all of those tools and checklists, templates as part of the program. And then aside from the training and the tools for success, you've then got the customized support. So these are the resources tailored to you to address your specific needs. So these are the live q&a calls where you can jump on live and ask any questions one to one in that group, setting environment, about anything that you need to get past any roadblocks, challenges, ideas, and you can either get feedback from us or on the collaboration, cool feedback from other members in the community as well. So all in all, it really is a comprehensive package. It isn't it's a pleasure to be a part of you know, especially now once you've made a business and you've up and running and you've left a job in the position that I'm in, it's great to give back and see others achieve the same success. So for people that are part of the masterclass what is the commitment involved in saves a lot of time to get a business up and running? Yeah, there are kind of three different tracks that we created recently. And we've introduced member progress trackers as well. So you've got your six week, your nine week 12 week program. Now they're all the same content that the deadlines just a little bit closer together, depending on how much of a sprint you want it to be. So we'd expect members to be able to dedicate around 14 hours per week, especially in those initial months when they're getting up and running. Just to truly benefit from the program. Ultimately, you're building your own business. So what you put into it, is what you're going to get out. The other thing is said participation, you know, engage with the community attend the course, there's a direct correlation between the people who we see achieving the highest results, and those who attended the cause and use the the live calls and the live meetups and the collaboration tools to make sure that you're applying the lessons, but then also showing up to those calls and chipping in as and where you can to both add value, but also ask questions if you need to. And then finally, our program is for those who are committed to see real results, both in learning and in actual business growth as well. So if you're tired of searching around on YouTube, or doing all of these conflicting programs that you might see out there, and you just want a proven blueprint for how to do this properly in the UK. That's what we create is designed for people who are serious and really want to see success with an E commerce business in the UK. So let's recap. Finally, how can people enter this competition to give themselves a chance to win a spot in the masterclass? Yep, to this three really simple steps to take part.

And who knows, you might just hear your comments on the show. Thanks for being part of our community. Your support helps us keep delivering a new episode every week. Now, let's answer some questions that we've had in from listeners of the podcast. And they are related to the masterclass program that we provide. So it's going to be really helpful with people that are on the edge and, and leaving a review and entering this competition. So we've had questions into remember, if you want questions answered on the podcast, all you need to do is comment underneath the YouTube video of this episode, or any episode that you're listening to. The first question we've had various I'll pose it across to you now. So Jason has asked, can anyone achieve success with the masterclass program? Absolutely. JASON Yeah. The master class is designed for individuals from all walks of life, regardless of their prior knowledge in E commerce. You know, I talked about some of our success case studies from recently, they all had completely different backgrounds. We've seen people from teachers to trades people achieving remarkable success with this. So it's not about where you've come from, it's about the steps you take. And it's about taking action and applying the process, not your background. So don't let that put you off. Everybody's journey is unique. And the program caters to individual needs. So it ensures that everybody has the tools they need to succeed. Yeah, absolutely. If you follow the steps, then you can still see success with it. Great question, Jason. Yeah, it surprised me all the time about the different backgrounds that we have, that people join us in the master class, and still the position they get to no matter what background they've had. So second question for you. This is in from Sarah. And she is asked simply, how difficult is it? It's simple. So in that sense, it's not difficult, but it's not easy. So it's straightforward, Sara, you know, but it's not insurmountably difficult. The program breaks down complex concepts into just manageable, step by step actions that you can take. But you have to take those steps. And that's the bit where it's, it's simple, we can lay out the steps that are not saying it's easy, you still have to do it. If you're building a business that's going to eventually replace your income and allow you to live anywhere in the world, then, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it right. But without continuous support and the community at your fingertips, you're never alone in the process, which significantly then eases the journey for you. So your success is directly tied to your commitment to it, the more you put in, the more manageable and rewarding it becomes as well. So hopefully that answers that one for you, Sarah. Perfect. Thank you, Louis. Next question is in from Moe. And Moe was asked, How much time will I need to commit? Mo, I'd say that initially, you should be prepared to commit around 14 to 15 hours per week, especially the first few months, you want to lay a solid foundation for your business in that state. I know many of our members balance this initially with full time jobs before they have replaced their incomes, and they're safe to quit their jobs. So that's about smart time management. It's not just the hours spent. But it's like if you can only put in two or even one hour per day, how are you going to manage that time and most effect. Over time as your business grows, you'll find ways to streamline and reduce the hours whilst maintaining your progress as well. And eventually you can hire a virtual assistant who will massively reduce your time input. But the thing that I always say most that is worth considering is once you're up and running in a year from now, and you've replaced your income, and you have a business that's running on autopilot, are you going to look back and say take down I wish I'd built it in six weeks instead of 12 weeks. Europe is going to pale into insignificance at that point. So don't worry too much about the timeline. It's about consistent daily actions is not about race to get it up and running. Because that won't matter when it eventually is. Very point. And you'll look back on it with pride no matter how long it takes, because you'll be in a position that you're really grateful to be in. So next question for you. Luis is in from Sadie. And Sadie has asked, How much money do I need to start? Thanks for the question said he'd said the financial investment required is relatively low compared to traditional businesses, because you're primarily investing into the website set up the initial marketing, and obviously the mentorship program, but you're not going out and spending hundreds of 1000s of pounds on leasing a new premises or hiring a lot of staff or you're getting huge business loans. So we guide our members on cost effective strategies to start and scale up as well making it accessible for most people. So I'd always recommend with any kind of business venture like this having a safety net of at least a few 1000 pounds available to you before you start any kind of business because if I was in a position where I didn't currently have that available, then at this point, all of my focus and effort would be directed towards saving Up to be in a position so that when I do make the leap, eventually I'm well prepared and ready to go. So if that means that in the short term, I just need to take on a few extra hours at work or perhaps change my job role or take on an extra job as well do some other hours, then that's short term pain I'm willing to go through to set me up for a life read up. So in my view, that trade off is definitely worth it. But I guess the key to this Sadie is to view this as an investment in your future, you know, the returns both financial returns, but also in terms of a lifestyle, far outweigh the initial invest per face and great questions then hopefully ties up some of the frequently asked questions that we hear, especially people that are about to join the masterclass program. So, we're now going to highlight a review that we've had in from a listener of the podcast. And this actually came in through a comment underneath a YouTube video. So thank you to Russell, he LMR, for sharing your thoughts on the podcast. And he shared his thoughts on the recent episode we did with a member Suraj which is episode number 45 of the podcast.
