Working toward the next zero on the end of the yearly revenue!
Have you ever thought any of these things?
The ecommerce landscape is a battlefield, with Amazon being the front line. I constantly worry about the new entrants, ready to offer similar products, potentially at lower prices. These kinds of disruptions could shake our foundations.
Scaling means expanding our customer base while keeping our existing clientele happy and loyal. The question of how to keep our standards high as we grow looms large.
I find myself asking, can our operations handle the jump in volume that comes with scaling from 7 to 8 or 9 figures? More inventory, more manpower, enhanced customer service, and solid infrastructure will all be key.
Amazon's capricious algorithm is a concern. Unexpected changes could impact our visibility, sales, and profitability.
Ecommerce regulations, tax laws, and trade agreements can change at any moment, posing a significant risk to our operations and profitability.
Scaling requires upfront investment, and I'm constantly aware of the need for robust working capital to cope with increased inventory and operational costs.
In such a crowded market, carving out our niche is no easy task. We need to keep innovating and stay a step ahead to maintain our competitive edge.
Larger volumes mean a more stretched supply chain. Supplier issues, extended lead times, or quality control challenges are all things that could trip us up.
Growth means new hires, and perhaps even new areas of expertise. The challenge of finding the right people and managing an expanded team is always on my mind.
If so, the ESS Secret Island Mastermind is just the thing you need to breakthrough barriers and reach the next level in your business (i.e. adding a zero or two to your revenue).
WTF is ESS?
Elite Seller Society is a group designed specifically for Amazon and e-commerce sellers generating over $2mil per year in revenue who want to scale their brand(s).
It was started in 2020 by Howard Thai, better known as “The Professor.” Howard had earned the prestigious accolade of Top 100 Sellers on the entire Amazon.com platform after his e-commerce business began generating over $800,000 PER DAY on the marketplace.
Since then, Howard and his team have launched dozens of successful brands on Amazon as well as a handful of successful service offerings in the software and support space. But one challenge that plagued him, as it plagues many entrepreneurs, was scaling beyond the level of conventional “success.”
Howard had noticed that all the available education and assistance for entrepreneurs generally stops being helpful after generating 7+ figures a year. So he had to figure things out through trial and error.
After sharing his findings at places like Affiliate World and other events, people kept asking him for more.
In fact, they wouldn’t leave him alone.
Mary S., a 7-figure baby brand seller contacted Howard on Wechat one night at 3 in the morning.
Tom W., a supplement brand owner just about to hit $10mil in revenue hit Howard up one afternoon while he was at lunch.
Jason and Lilly G., owners of a toy brand that was making it’s way onto Walmart and Target shelves emailed Howard twelve times one Sunday evening.
These were not isolated incidents. They happened repeatedly over the span of weeks before Howard realized the necessity for better education, better networking, better transfer of tactical information.
And from that, the idea of a meetup was formed. One of those sellers that saw him at affiliate world (Tom…remember him?) actually showed up to the meetup.
After a few tweaks to his launch strategy that he learned from one of the meetup speakers (Howard invited some close friends that he knew could add value) Tom was able to increase sales by 35%!
And that wasn’t the only success story. The response from that informal meetup was so good that Howard realized this has to be a more organized, regularly scheduled event.
FROM A HOTEL CONFERENCE ROOM TO PALACES IN PARIS
Technically the first Elite Event was before Elite Seller Society was even a thing. It was the very beginning of the idea. Howard had a small mastermind gathering in Shenzhen for the brightest and most successful entrepreneurs he knew to share their secrets.
It was a wild success, as everyone in attendance came away with actionable knowledge.
This first gave way to more events that slowly shaped into what the Elite Seller Society would become; a series of events, networking opportunities, and a support group, for top performing entrepreneurs.
JOIN US FOR ESS MASTERMIND 2023 - SECRET ISLAND MASTERMIND
We’ve come a long way since hotel conference spaces, and now we set the bar for mastermind events by including careful consideration of the atmosphere and team-building aspect of business breakthroughs.
Our next event takes place on a magical, secret island, nestled within the tropical seas around Thailand.
There’s literally only one word that can describe this location; paradise.
On this island paradise ESS members will be able to completely relax, focus their minds, and connect with their true selves. In this unique state of mind breakthroughs can happen.
Here’s what to expect:
- Expert Insights and Tactics: First and foremost, the event features industry leaders who've successfully scaled their businesses. These experts will share strategies, tactics, and lessons learned from their own experiences, delivering actionable insights you can use in your business.
- Networking Opportunities: The event will also provide a platform to network with other high-level entrepreneurs facing similar challenges. These connections could result in partnerships, collaborations, or just a good old exchange of ideas. An event is only as good as the people you meet there.
- Vendor Connections: This is a no-pitch event, but Howard is opening up his own PERSONAL NETWORK of vetted vendors. These vendors are trusted, proven, and might be the key to unlock your growth.
- Latest Industry Trends: You’ll be exposed to the latest trends, innovations, and technologies in the online business world. Learning about these can give you a competitive edge and help future-proof your business.
- Confidentiality and Trust: Some of the top secrets of high-level sellers will be shared at this event. These are well-guarded details that NOBODY ELSE knows right now. For this reason, everyone signs an NDA and Code-of-Conduct agreement.
- Case Studies and Breakout Sessions: Real-world case studies and interactive breakout sessions where we all can work together on solving common problems will help us unlock the secrets to scaling. It’s all about turning theory into practice.
- Follow-Up Resources: Finally, any resources like slide decks, recordings, templates, or tools provided after the event for further learning will be made available. You’ll have it delivered to your inbox before you even get home from the event.
- Fun and Relaxation: Last but not least, this event will not be all work and no play. Howard genuinely believes scaling SHOULD be fun, so we’ll be offering plenty of on-island activities as well as a magical, tropical, dare we say; “wild” party. We’re working hard to provide the perfect environment for your newly acquired business ideas and skills to take root in your mind.
