This episode is brought to you by Shopify. Shopify is one of my favorite companies out there, one of my favorite platforms ever. And let's get into it. Shopify is a platform, as I mentioned, designed For anyone to sell anything anywhere. Giving entrepreneurs the resources once reserved for big business. So what does that mean? That means in no time flat, you can have a great looking online store.

That brings your ideas. Products and so on to life. And you can have the tools to manage your day to day business and drive. Sales. This is all possible without any coding or design experience whatsoever. Shopify instantly lets you accept all major payment methods, Shopify has thousands of integrations and third party apps, from on demand printing to accounting to advanced chat bots, anything you can imagine.

they probably have a way to plug and play and make it happen. Shopify is what I wish I had had when I was venturing into e-commerce way back in the early two thousands. What they've done is pretty remarkable. I first met the founder, Toby, in 2008 when I became an advisor, and it's been spectacular. I've loved watching Shopify go from roughly 10 to 15 employees at the time to 7,000 plus today, serving customers in 175 countries with total sales on the platform exceeding four hundred. billion dollars. They power millions of entrepreneurs from their first sale all the way to full scale. And you would recognize a lot of large companies that also use them who started small. So get started by building and customizing your online store, again with no coding or design experience required. Access powerful tools to help you find customers drive sales and manage your day to day. Gain knowledge and confidence with extensive resources to help you succeed. And I've actually been involved with some of that way back in the day, which was awesome, the build a business competition and other things. Plus With twenty four seven support.
