Get rich schemes, and information overload seems to be how we hear about successful entrepreneurs nowadays.

The 20th century is considered to be an incredibly connected world.

Anyone can build their brand, express passions, and share talents.

Are you looking to add passive income to help you make money 24/7?

Ecommerce is the perfect start to your entrepreneurial journey.

You may have this picture-perfect image of what self-employment looks like, but in reality, every journey is utterly different.

Put your head down and start working toward your goals. 

The growth of global ecommerce is crazy-rapid.

In 2017, it reached around $2.3 trillion and was expected to hit $4.5 trillion in 2021 – (Statista.com).

 Starting an online business has never been easier, thanks to our friend, the Internet. 

CustomCat Plans

CustomCat offers two options for setting up your online store.

They are both relatively inexpensive.

Shopify is an e-commerce platform that has everything you need to sell online.

Get in touch with your network. People are always looking for new freelancing opportunities. 

Trade-offs

I am not one to sugarcoat some glamorous entrepreneurship lifestyle. I would be lying if I said it was easy; however, having an e-commerce store comes with the benefits of a constant stream of income.

This model helps you to generate income even when you sleep. How cool is that?

To be successful, you must adjust your lifestyle on many levels. Entrepreneurship comes with tradeoffs – steady paychecks, medical benefits, paid time off, sick days, and a whole lot of other perks that come with employment benefits.

In return, you’ll start to understand that your income is directly correlated to what actions you take. Your success lies entirely in your hands. 

E-commerce is and has been a life-changing avenue for many entrepreneurs. It doesn’t cost a ton of money to try. If it doesn’t work out, you’ll end up learning a thing or two – that sounds like a win-win scenario. 

Reasons to Start

Flexibility

Work smarter, not harder! You are your boss, so act like it. Dress up, show up, and crush your goals. 

24/7 Income Flow

E-commerce continues to attract new entrepreneurs like yourself, to supplement their income. Everything can be self-taught. The more you learn, the more you earn. Take advantage of the internet – watch YouTube videos and read how-to blogs to become a better business owner than you are today.
