So many people think you have to have thousands of dollars to start your own business. But it’s simply not true.
"#canwin This weekend I mailed 45 orders! That's a new record for me!
I just wanted to say to anyone who is feeling frustrated, hang in there! And you don't hae to have some type of original amazing "new" product. I sell rubber ducks!
I began trying to sell a little bit beginning last July but started getting serious about online selling at the beginning of this year. I've now made over $6,000! Did I mention that I'm "just" selling rubber ducks?!
I've made a TON of mistakes, but I learn a little bit more each time!
Keep moving forward and waddle on, friends!"

I grew up in what could be considered poverty, navigating my adult life, collecting degrees and trading time for money. But with a seven-year-old and a demanding executive role, I knew there had to be a better way. Enter Alison's course.
"#canwin to date I have sold 15 items on FB Marketplace, 24 items on eBay, 7 items at a holiday boutique.
I am still in the process of getting my Shopify store done, this has been a great experience to prepare me for Shopify.
I have only been selling things I had around the house, homemade items, and repurposed items. I have not sold the product that I want to list on Shopify. I hope everyone can see my vision as clear as I do. I am excited for my future."

Two years ago, faced with the pandemic and the responsibility of my autistic son, I aimed to sell inspirational items to uplift souls, resonating with my transition from a corporate role to a full-time caregiver. Yet, budgets made that vision challenging.
"Holy smokes! This weekend was bananas! My husband was out of the country for work for the past two weeks. My kids were super sick, and I was starting to question all my life choices. But I did it! It didn't look exactly how I planned but that's ok. When looking at my analytics today I realized I have shipped over 400 orders this month, MOST of which were from this weekend! I'm not doing anything crazy, just found something that works and I'm running it over and over and over again! #canwin"

In the face of life's toughest moments, I found solace in colors and humor. That's how Genevieve and Claire, shortened to Gen and Claire, came to life. My journey into print-on-demand shirts was less about business and more about healing, transforming my graphic design hobby into a personal mission.
"I just had to share my first #canwin! I finally gave up on having my idealistic "perfect" launch. I was spending way too much time trying to learn how to make wix work, writing perfect descriptions, and getting pricing perfect. I gave up, made a Squarespace simple website on Wednesday night, told a few people at work Thursday, and made a post on my IG yesterday. I've already sold almost $400 worth of product! I'm so shocked! If anyone else is putting off because they want perfection... don't do it! Take the leap!"

I started 0-100K in December, and didn’t focus on selling until March. So this income is from March - September. This group gave me some added encouragement and value to push a little harder in my business, and really just try to make more money. My real goal is to make over 100K a year, so I have some work to do, but I’m happy in the direction I’m headed! #canwin

"I want to share a #canwin. There was a local pitch competition in my community and I hesitantly participated. It was VERY out of my comfort zone.
Because of Alison Prince and this program I felt very confident in my business. Unfortunately my public speaking skills are lacking. But I did it anyway.
I had 3 minutes to pitch my business. I focused on my ideal customer whom I call "Susan," what problem I would solve for her, how I market, and what I would use the money for.
The absolute best part was when I left the room and had 2 women follow me to the hall. They said, "Hi, I'm SUSAN!" :) Then they bought $400 worth of candles.
I won 10,000 dollars to use in my business.
This was the most stressful thing I've EVER done. The lesson I learned was to put yourself out there. Get seen, try new things. I've grown so much from this experience.

Crafting special Easter baskets is my jam. I mean, Easter's magic, right? And with a lively bunch of six kiddos, I needed a business that would let me be "mom" without missing a beat. That's where e-commerce stepped in.
"#canwin Today I hit $1,000 in one month. Between Shopify and Spouse-ly (like Etsy for military spouses).
I made a deal with my kids that we would go on a weekend trip when we hit this milestone, so I guess we better get packing!"

Our journey began 17 years ago, quite modestly with just 300 hand-signed letters. While the profit was slim and the hours long, my husband saw potential. Over the years, we refined our processes and even tapped into automation. But it was my desire to help my friend from Brazil, living in poverty, to study English in America that truly set our business alight. The challenge? Raising $10,000 to sponsor her, despite living paycheck to paycheck.
"You guys!! First of all I'm shouting from the roof tops #CANWIN!!! Less than 24 hours and I'm almost SOLD OUT! I need to go on a supply run after my 9-5 and make more inventory! I don't even own a Cricut but may just go buy one as hand cutting these is not efficient!"

My sister and I initially signed up for Alison's 0-100K program, eager to find a way to work from home while juggling our duties as moms. We had our fair share of trial and error, but with dedication and Alison's guidance, we successfully carved out our niche.
"Wow, just wow. Success really is when opportunity meets preparedness and THIS platform had me PREPARED!
My new venture has me EXCITED. I was speaking with a friend of ours who owns a pizza franchise (they made our pizza wrong so we had a chance to chat while the pizza was being remade). I realize the blessing in that time delay!
I told him about my NEW MACHINE and asked if he wanted me to embroider a little chef apron for his little girl that said "future owner" with their company logo on it. HE LOVED IT. I was just having fun and doing something unique for someone else!
Then it happened... he asked if I wanted to bid on all of their company business for shirts, caps, sweatshirts, etc. He showed me the PDF of all of their custom apparel.
He said he 'wanted an e-commerce website set up just for their company so all franchises could go there and order.' He told me they spend over $200K a year on promotional products and he would rather give the business to a friend (WHHHHAAAT IS HAPPENING)
BAM!!! I learned how to set up an e-commerce site through THIS platform! #shopify I learned how to BE BOLD in THIS platform. I learned about SOURCING materials through THIS platform. I learned how to find SUPPLIES through THIS platform. I learned how to set a good and fair (profitable) price through THIS platform.
Even though I did not SELL much of my first product I LEARNED how to do what he needs and did not even break a sweat. "Sure, I can do that!"
He emailed me their logo design THIS MORNING. Here we go!!!"

Back in February, I jumped into e-commerce, thinking, "Hey, I've got a laser and real estate's hot right now. Let’s make some fancy boards for realtors!" Well... turned out, my heart wasn’t feeling the fancy board vibe. Tried my hand at pens and leather notebooks next. Fun? Yes. My passion? Nah.
Enter August and bam! Huckleberry Gems' DIY kits happened. Took a shot at a few platforms and what do you know? They ALL welcomed me. So much for all the whispers about it being a hard nut to crack!
"Just wanted to share a #canwin! My business is moving but it has felt like such a sloooow process with so much trial and error. I was so focused on hitting a certain milestone that I didn't step back and really look at what I had already accomplished. Last week I saw a number in my store that was $1K MORE than what I was bringing in for an ENTIRE MONTH working 40 hours a week! 1 weeks worth of revenue in Shopify was more than what I was paid for working 160 HOURS!
This doesn't happen every week (yet) but I found some things that are working and a lot of it was actually from some POD designs! I do have a graphic design background so I'm going to try to dig into the POD thing and see what happens next. Happy 4th quarter! Let's do this!"

If you had told me years ago, when I was assisting my amazing mother-in-law, Jill, in her blog that I'd someday be diving deep into e-commerce, I’d have probably chuckled. I've worn a ton of hats over the years – from managing emails to studio cleanups. Yet, here I am, years later, not just selling essential oils, but also creating home products and, believe it or not, an anti-aging skincare line tailored for our cherished women over 50!
"Hello & happy December! I have a #canwin / accountability post today. If I type it out, there's a better chance of me sticking to it. Haha! So November was the highest monthly sales EVER for our business with the most packages I have EVER shipped in a month - hello 900+ shipped packages from my garage- so crazy! Praise God for growth!! So now it's December and my brain says let's get ready to descend... BUT I listened to a podcast yesterday that challenged my thought. She opened saying she sees lots of business owners shrink back in the month of December but it can still be the best month of the year! So, I am tired, but I am not done so I'm going to TRY and beat my November!!! I didn't even think I could beat my October and November surprised me. Even if it doesn't happen in December, I'm going to give it my all and push into the hard thing!! Who's with me?"

Oh my goodness, friends!!! I listened to what Alison taught on Saturday about launching and relaunching products PLUS creating urgency with your customers. I have honestly built my business around the 5x5 launch plan and I want to show you what is possible when you stick to it. This is not a month, this is not a day, THIS IS ONE HOUR OF SALES!!!!
Today we celebrate, tomorrow we ship.
Keep going!!! Keep learning!!! Keep growing!!!

Weekend #canwin.
I sold 400 stickers over the weekend while attending my kids lacrosse game, movie night with my family, seeing friends, grocery shopping, taking a nap, etc. Ya know... weekend stuff. :) Didn't have to clock in anywhere - it was the weekend - Made sales and money while I was sleeping. CHA-CHING!!!!
-Megan, 0-100K Pro Coach
"Oh my goodness, how can I even begin to convey my gratitude? Alison, from every corner of my heart, a massive thank you. Seriously, you've played such a pivotal role in my journey. Your authenticity, your fierce spirit, and your unwavering dedication - they're unlike anything I've ever known. The 0-100K program and the 'Because I Can' life... they're not just courses. They're transformative experiences.

"#canwin Yesterday I got out of my comfort zone and cold called 4 stores that I thought should carry my merch. (I design and sell NCAA licensed merch that I want to get into college campus stores). I had already emailed all of these stores months ago with no response, but who knows if the emails went to their junk or if they even went to the account of the right person. Out of the 4 stores, I got to talk directly to 2 buyers - 1 agreed to take a look at some free samples and the other just went ahead and placed a $600 wholesale order!
Making these calls was sooo uncomfortable for this introvert, but it took less than an hour of calling, talking, and following up with emails and I made $600. That's a pretty good return on 1 hour of work!
I guess fortune does favor the brave!"

“I've got to share my journey with Alison's course. Working in Utah's largest ER during COVID – and especially after when many just up and quit – I was utterly burnt out. Overwhelmed doesn’t even begin to cover it. I needed a new direction. We already ran a service business, so e-commerce intrigued me. After a bit of dabbling and some well-intentioned advice from a family member, I landed on Alison’s course. I began with the five-day sprint and then progressed to the Marketplace Intensive. Talk about eye-opening!

"#canwin A little late posting this, but over the holidays I hit 50k!
Then last week I reached one of my 3 big goals from the start of the program: I used the money from my business to take my family to Disneyland!
When I first started, this was one of my "dream big even if it doesn't feel possible" type of goals. I can't even believe it you guys.
I started with no business experience and no idea what to sell! I followed the steps, aimed for C+ and kept going.
Praising God for Alison's help, and the support of this group.
Now, on to the next goal!

"She truly wants everyone to succeed in their business and is there every step of the way. I feel like she is my friend and I have never even met her! I love how she brings like-minded people together and I'm lucky to be a part of that community every day."

“After 30 years in corporate marketing, I was tired of lining someone else's pockets. My dream? A business with my husband – reaping the fruits of our labor and spending precious moments with our kids. Yet, the transition was harder than expected.

"I was always a bit jealous of those who had label necklaces. Because I hired out fulfillment so early on, I never got one of these cool things!
Well... I finally had my chance. Took a risk, did a huge pre-order sale & the magic happened.
My kids really wanted to be involved in this project, so the 4-year-old and 2-year-old will be helping me pack the over 200 pre-orders I got!
Your kids are always watching and I love that mine are excited for this journey of mine, too.

When I discovered Alison, I was on a mission to elevate my online retail game. Though I had a good grip on wholesale, my aim was to truly connect with my retail customers, to understand their needs and serve them better. Alison's 0-100K program was a game-changer.

"Cleaning my house + binge listening to Alison's podcast and passively getting an order when not working. Does this screen shot not say it all?! Grateful for Alison + team + community"

“As the founder of Sew Kids, I was on the hunt for a program that could truly elevate my business. That's when I encountered Alison J. Prince and her 0-100K program. Right from the start, I was astounded by the wealth of information presented. It genuinely felt like diving into a treasure trove of e-commerce knowledge. The phrase "value for money" doesn't even begin to cover it!

Just hit 1 million in total sales!
Opened our shop in 2020, and I want to point out this did not happen overnight, and it did not happen randomly either. It was day after day of working in and on the business, pushing forward and not giving up!
I will not repeat the story of how we started, as I was recently on Alison's podcast, but I do want to point out one thing. If you check our Etsy sales the first year, in 2020, we made $2,000 (in 6 months). We could have given up, since it was so demotivating. But we didn't.
If you give up, you will never know where you could have been in a few months, or years!
Thank you Alison J Prince for this community and all the support, this was key for us in the last year since we joined!"
