THIS IS GOING TO PISS A LOT OF YOU OFF. But if you're someone genuinely trying to build a real brand / business, read every word of this. Because what you see on here? 99% is bullshit. Fake screenshots. Fake gurus. Fake wins. You see someone post “$300k in 30 days” and think: “Why the fuck isn’t this happening for me?” “Am I doing something wrong?” “Why am I stuck at $50k/month?” Let me tell you something, loud and clear: If you’re doing $50k/month with a REAL product and a LEGIT brand, you’re crushing it. ESPECIALLY if you're starting out. That’s what building a business actually looks like. Slow, grind, growth. But most of these clowns you’re comparing yourself to? They don’t run businesses. They run scams. Let me break it down for you: >> Shitty products from AliExpress >> Zero customer service >> Payment processor holds (they make ZERO money in their pocket.) >> Shopify bans >> Ripped ad content >> Lawsuits >> Chargebacks No long-term brand. No equity. Just fast cash, fast crash. These people aren’t entrepreneurs. They’re pickpockets with a Shopify payments account. The wildest part? They’re now selling courses and coaching. Teaching YOU how to "build a 6-figure store"... Lmao. You mean how to get banned from Shopify in 3 weeks? This whole thing has turned into a circus of fake wins, fake value, and fake success. And you’re out here beating yourself up because you’re actually playing the long game? Here’s the truth they won’t post: Real brands take 3–4 years before you start seeing money. And when you see profit, it goes right back into your business. Into staff, into product, into stock, into marketing initiatives. It doesn't go into the founders pockets. The CASH comes when you exit. Most run at 10–25% profit if they’re lucky Growth is slow and painful and lonely You WILL make mistakes (thousands of them) You WON’T get rich fast You WILL want to quit (often) But if you’re building something real, something that serves people, has meaning, has legs, keep fucking going. I run brands doing 7 figures a month. Do you think I see any of that money? Nope. It goes to stock. It goes to team. It goes to growth. It doesn’t go in my pocket. Because this is business, not a casino. So if you're stuck at $30k, $50k, $70k/month… but your product is good, your customers love you, and your brand is real? YOU’RE WINNING. Don’t let some 18-year-old with a dropshipped posture corrector and a fake screenshot make you feel like you’re behind. They’ll be gone in 6 weeks. You? You’re just getting started. If you want REAL education on how to build something that lasts, follow these people: @iamshackelford @seanfrank @shauneng @michaelballato1 @AidanDrentin @jshap9 Or better yet… Log the fuck off, build in silence, and come back when you’ve got something to show for it. Stop doom-scrolling. Stop comparing yourself to people playing a totally different game. Put your head down. Work. Make mistakes. Learn. Keep going. And one day, when you’ve built something you’re proud of, you’ll be the one they’re screenshotting. Godspeed.
