Whats Your Take on Dropshipping

[jpanarra]

Hey all,

I usually browse over at r/entrepreneur and other business subreddits, there is a lot of posts about the drop shipping approach for e-commerce, and I am considering about taking that path for my first step to the fast lane.
However, I have seen several negative comments and experiences when it comes to drop shipping and trying to grow a variety of businesses using this approach. I was wondering if there is anybody here that has deemed themselves successful and what to be wary about before jumping on Shopify and try to open an e-commerce business.
