Hi everyone !

I am so happy being here and writing this post. I apologize for my potential mistakes concerning the english language as I am french.

My name is Theo, I am a 24 y-o french student (top 10 french Business School but I can tell you that my school took me more money than it helped me to make... !! But it's ok it's a good investment as I really made it profitable through networking.)

I read TMF 3 months ago and it already started to change my life. Really, this book and its vision are game-changers. Thanks Mr DeMarco!

4 years now that I was struggling to pay my school and my rent/living as a student... And this year I decided to change it after having read TMF . I just had started my journey with ecom / dropshipping when I read TMF, but this book has been a key accelerator and helped me to get a bigger vision and to focus on what really matters (2 details that can change a whole life).

I started to train myself and learn as much as possible on digital marketing, copywriting, facebook ads and e-com... Hundreds of hours each month, litteraly.

3 months later and here we are, I've just hit my first 5-figures month in revenue (profit=30%) in November in e-commerce! It probably looks little for some of you, but when you come from a poor family and are struggling for many years, asking money to your parents with shame every month, a such result is.. woaw.

BUT WAIT, for those who read it and think "I knew it, dropshipping works!! I'll do it too and become rich !!" and then return back to these gurus on Youtube selling dropshipping courses... I want to tell you : there is NO easy money. Dropshipping/ecom works, but not as gurus tell you on Youtube. It is a real business, but online, that's all. It will work only if you make a study to find products that answer to a need. Only if you develop and master high-level digital marketing skills (copywriting, FB Ads, funnels, email marketing, etc). And only if you have a good customer relationship management.

Once again it is about the process : during those 3 months I woke up at 5am EVERYDAY to get enough time to work on my business before going to school at 10. And even during my school courses I was working on my computer when I could.

Dedication is the key.

I'm now hesitating : develop this website as a brand (packaging, etc) or focus on another project with my best friends (project already started and which has very good results too!!). I'm currently studying options and trying to choose on which one I want to dedicate during the years to come. Then the adventure will REALLY begin!

Thank you for your reading!

Theo
