Earnest Epps 6-Figure High Ticket Drop Shipping 012

November 26, 2018

Earnest Epps is a life-long entrepreneur and salesman. After losing his corporate position, within 30 days he self-taught himself and created the Earnest Approach to dropshipping high ticket items from US manufacturers.
NFL Dreams
Earnest had a bit of a mindset when he entered college. His mother had pushed him to pick a specialty and focus on that during college. Because of his mother's encouragement, Earnest chose IT and technology.

Football was his main reason for going to college and his choice was based upon a path to the NFL and not the educational opportunities. Unfortunately, before he ever got to play in college, Earnest's dreams of going to the NFL were smashed due to injuries.
Earnest Epps Hustling to Succeed
Not knowing what to do, he started knocking on doors and passing out flyers for a remodeling company. He soon learned the art of setting up leads for sales in order to earn commission checks.
If I can get (that first) sale, I can figure it out from there. - Earnest Epps venturing into e-commerce
Earnest's passion to succeed led him to first succeed at selling, then training, hiring and eventually running a team. His success led to his promotion to marketing director at the age of 22.
Envisioning Himself as CEO
His job success gave him the skill set to move on to a position as a sales director for a marketing company whose clients were multi-billion dollar companies. From 2009 - 2015, Earnest was managing about 100 employees on the east coast. When he was fired, it crushed his soul.
The trajectory for US online sales is projected to be $600 billion dollars by the year 2021. - Earnest Epps
For two years, Earnest was going through the motions in a state of depression. He had invested everything in that company for his and the company's success. He was certain he was going to be the CEO and work there for the next 40 years.

Earnest had always tried small side ventures on his own. He had never taken them seriously because his position in corporate America was so good to him. He felt like he had it all.
Finding His Piece of the E-Commerce Pie
For two years Earnest was stuck. It wasn't that he didn't have the work ethic or the right skill sets, he just didn't know what he wanted to do. While scrolling through Facebook, an ad for e-commerce and dropshipping popped up. At first, he was really skeptical and was unsure he could make money at it.
Take the same energy and effort for your boss on a full-time basis...and just do it for yourself. - Earnest Epps
When he came across an article forecasting the growth of online sales that convinced him to try and get himself a piece of the pie. Earnest set his mind towards succeeding online and began by focusing to get his first customer.

When dropshipping is discussed, it's usually around super low-end stuff but Earnest took a different route. To hear the rest of his journey, download and listen to the episode.
