Challenge to Launch Your Ecommerce Store!
Not sure where to start? Feeling overwhelmed? That's ok!
I will walk you step-by-step through the setup and execution of your eCommerce store and get you launched in 5 Days.
We start on Monday April 27th!
I'm so glad you've decided to jump into this 5 Day challenge with me. If you take the time to work through the material in the challenge and participate, by the end of the challenge you'll have an online store you can launch!
Then you can attract some customers, and get your sales started.
Take some time to check into this group often, leave your comments, questions, wins, frustrations, you name it. We're all here to support each other.
A few things you should do RIGHT NOW to make sure you get the most out of this program:

I've uploaded a checklist in the group for getting the most out of this challenge. Take 5 minutes, download it, and set yourself up for success before we start on Monday!
Go to your calendar NOW and schedule at least 30 - 60 minutes each day starting on Monday to go through the training during the Challenge week. You can split this time up if you want, so put it on your calendar. For Day 2 & 3 you will probably need a little more time. I would block out as much time as possible for both these days.
Check your email/FB messenger every morning during the challenge for that day’s training (you can always find the daily challenge trainings in our group in the units.
Once you complete the training and the challenge for each day, decide what you’ll do to implement what you’ve learned into your business and TAKE ACTION! Fill out the checklist and post.
Participate! Get in the group and share your challenge results, cheer others on, and ask for support. This group is an awesome community and we want YOUR participation!
Before, during and after, click on the "Grab Your Share Link" pic in this pinned post to learn more about sharing with friends that might need this.
Have questions? Post them here in the group and tag me (so we don't miss it). I am happy to help!
Here's to an awesome challenge. Let's do this!

How to Keep Your Business Alive in 2025: 10 Rules for Survival
Have you ever considered starting your own business? Or do you have your own business?
You’re not alone. According to the latest U.S. Small Business Administration data, there are over 33 million small businesses in the United States today. With millions of entrepreneurs chasing their dreams, some will inevitably struggle or even fail.
I’ve worked alongside hundreds of small business owners, and I’ve seen it all—the wins, the setbacks, the pivots, and the burnout. But here’s what I believe: Failure doesn’t mean the end. It often sharpens your strategy, strengthens your resilience, and fuels future success. The key is learning how to move through it with clarity, support, and a plan.
According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, supported by industry insights, approximately 20% of small businesses fail within their first year, and about 33% close within two years. While these numbers have held steady over the past few years, new data specific to eCommerce reveals an even more sobering reality:
Over 80% of Shopify stores fail, most often due to a lack of strategic execution, technical overwhelm, and low conversions, rather than poor products.
Only 10% of Shopify stores reach six-figure annual revenue, highlighting the critical need for clarity, structure, and marketing expertise from the start.
For new business owners, especially in the eCommerce space, the key to success isn’t just having a great idea—it’s about building smart, launching confidently, and making data-driven decisions early on.
Email Marketing for Time-Strapped Store Owners: The Only 3 Automated Sequences You Actually Need
If you're like most e-commerce store owners I work with, your relationship with email marketing is… complicated.
You know email delivers the highest ROI of any marketing channel—according to Campaign Monitor, email marketing generates 1 spent. You've probably heard success stories of stores driving 30-40% of their revenue from email.
Yet when you look at your own email marketing efforts, you might feel like you're barely scratching the surface of what's possible. Between running your store, managing inventory, handling customer service, and trying to have some semblance of a personal life, comprehensive email marketing feels like a luxury you don't have time for.
Here's the good news: you don't need 15 different email automations to see significant results.
After working with hundreds of e-commerce store owners, I've identified the three automated email sequences that deliver 80% of the results with just 20% of the effort. These are the non-negotiable sequences that even the busiest store owners can—and should—implement.
In this guide, I'll show you exactly how to set up these three essential sequences, what to include in each one, and how to measure their effectiveness—all without requiring you to become an email marketing expert or hire a dedicated team.
