From the midnight shift to
500 orders in 16 days.

Only 16 days into the month and I’ve made 500 orders this month. My name is Stephanie Kessel. I am the founder of an eCommerce store that sells pottery painting kits for children. And it was exactly a year ago that I purchased A Sale A Day, which I think is pretty cool, to be able to share what has happened in the last year since I bought Mei Pak’s course A Sale A Day Business System exactly a year ago.

I remember the day that I bought it. I had just dropped my son off at preschool. It was a hard day. He cried a lot. No, I cried a lot. And I sat in the parking lot and I had been thinking about buying her course. I had watched her video and I was really inspired by everything she said, and she seemed to know what she was talking about.

And I was like, you know what, I’m doing this. I’m going to invest in our future. I have a master’s degree. I used to have a full time job in an architecture firm designing hospitals, making good money. And then I became a stay at home mom with my kids and pretty much gave that career up, which is fine, but my husband and I needed money. And so I started teaching Chinese children English online in the middle of the night and was doing that. And I was miserable.

I just didn’t want to do it anymore, but I also didn’t want to get a nine to five like I had had previously, even though the money is good. I wanted to be there too. You know, summers for my kids. I wanted to be able to pick them up and drop them off at school. I wanted flexibility. And I’ve always, always wanted to own my own business.

So I said, I’m going to do this. Mei kind of advertised that she would help you get your idea solidified. And I needed that ahead. I did not have clarity. When I joined her course, my first idea for my first e-commerce store, which is still a good idea, was different than the one I’m running now. By going through her course step-by-step, not only is she incredibly inspiring, the whole course is designed to take you slowly but steadily through the process of really honing in on who you are as a business owner, what you want to do and how you want to do it.

She really helped me concrete my idea. And my second idea, the one I’m doing now, I believe is a much better idea than my first idea, and Mei helped me get to that point. And not only did she help me get to the idea point, she helped me set up my store, set up my email auto responders, and every step of the way she explained things that I knew nothing about. I had never run an ad. I’d never done anything e-commerce before. I run a paint-your-own-pottery studio in person, a brick and mortar. So online stuff was new to me and I knew nothing, and she explained it all with crystal clear clarity and more information than I could have possibly imagined.

Now, was it scary to spend that much money when you had no idea and you didn’t know if you were going to come up with it? For me it was. But I wanted out of teaching at midnight. So I did it, and I’m so grateful that I did. I would not be where I am without her. I would not.

A year later from buying the course, I launched my store. I bought the course a year ago, September 16, 2019. And it is September 16, 2020. I launched my store at the end of November with all of the teachings from Mei and all of her recommendations built in. And it was a slow start. I still had a lot to learn. I was in a hurry to launch the store. I wish I had gone a little slower, but honestly I’m glad I didn’t, because I think the path would have led to the same place.

The key is that Mei’s group and her forum is crucial to your success. Having access to her and her responding to you and answering your questions, and her team responding to your questions, and other eCommerce sellers responding to your questions. You can’t do it alone. You need help. You won’t know it, and spending all of your time googling is a waste of your time, and your time is precious and valuable. And the money that she charges is well worth it. She should charge more, but I know why she doesn’t. And I’m glad she doesn’t, because it gives people like you and me access to her and her knowledge. That’s priceless.

So anyway, I launched my store November 24th last year. It’s now September, not even a year later, only 16 days into the month, and I’ve made 500 orders this month. But it all started with Mei. All of it. I would not be here without her A Sale A Day program. And without her knowledge and without her inspiration, it was invaluable. I am so grateful that I found her and her course. And then I am where I am today and not where I was a year ago in the parking lot, having to prep for teaching at midnight.

So anyway, I highly recommend you buy the A Sale A Day program if you have a really good idea and if you’re willing to work for it, and she will not lead you astray. I hope to see you in the forums.
