Really excited to have my dropship mentor Anton Kraly back on the show to bring the journey first circle. I signed up as a member of Anton's dropshipping course (www.AntonMethod.com) in May of 2013, exactly three years ago and started learning how to build drop ship based ecommerce stores. Today we talk about how I sold my first one for $60k, what I plan on doing with my other store and my future plans with dropshipping. We also talk about paying credit card debt, travel hacking with spending limits and booking flights and hotels to earn rewards. Lastly we share our behaviors when dealing with an overwhelming amount of criticisms and specific questions from people online.
