The theory makes sense, but you’re so cryptic that I don’t trust that you actually have anyway to teach spotting thing as a repeatable skill, or that you don’t have any to share rn. Why am I reading this? Glad you made money on vacation, everyone who made some money with crypto and e commerce says they do. I’m starting from zero and feel like I’m wasting my time.

Thank you for opening up to me Josh. You're probably not the only one that feels this way and it's a really helpful reminder. To be honest I don't know all the answers. Still stumbling around and experimenting with all of this. But I'm willing to share the things I learn along the way with other people. Because that's how I got to where I am today, by exploring the unknown and discussing it in some sort of community.

And just like you feel like you're wasting your time reading this... sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time writing it. But we must remember that everything in life has a cause and effect. Every action has a consequence, and each consequence has another consequence. And so on and so forth. For example: the action of me writing this email had a consequence of you writing this comment, and then one consequence of that is I'll now go on to think about how to convey the things in my head in a less cryptic way. Which could then lead to other consequences down the line... maybe that you'll read something else from me that ends up leading you to go on to try something that ends up changing the trajectory of your life.

Not sure about you, but looking at things through that lens gives me some peace. And helps me make choices that are more likely to lead to the outcomes that I want. You can google "second-order thinking" if you'd like to learn more.

Hi, Emma.

I want to thank you for the valuable reply. I do want to apologize for how harsh my comment was. I had a lot going on that day, and it was not fair to give you the brunt of it. I value the ways that you are sharing. It’s a process for everyone and I just got overly suspicious. I have full appreciation for you putting your journey and brainstorming out there. Thank you again for your kind and patient reply.

Apologies,

-Josh

I can't imagine this ---> I realised 'how simple everything was this whole time… and probably want to cry'. 😭 But I am excited to what there's to unfold. Keep it coming Emma, love your creativity and how you're always generous in sharing your tips ever since your dropshipping time with Oberlo.
