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. 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!"

"#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 started making sales! If anyone else is putting off because they want perfection... don't do it! Take the leap!"

"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 a bulk order 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. 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.

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 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?"

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!!!!

"#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.

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!

"OMG-people, I just sold my first set of greeting cards!!! I was eating dinner and I heard the Cha Ching sound and I literally jumped up from the table. I worked all day setting up my 2 Etsy listing. I then shared it to my FB page. Now, I will say that I know the person that ordered them, but it is still exciting!! Thank you to this amazing group that has encouraged me to keep moving forward!!"

"FOLLOW Alison’s Launch Plan!!! It’s like no other! I had this brand new felt book custom made for my shop and as always, followed Alison PrinceLaunch plan….we did a countdown & recommended joining out email list, launched to our email friends last Tuesday with a bonus discount just for them for 24 hrs, then live on social media on Wed and SOLD OUT by Friday!!!!! It was so exciting!!!! We shared an email earlier this week and this was the photo of my daughter & me that we used and a local customer’s review.
Other companies in my genre never put new items on sale when they launch and it makes no sense to me. Our margins allow it. The excitement and feeling of being honored by getting a special deal from the start especially VIP honoring our email subscribers, and the excitement of the deal and new product, and only 1-3 day sale is what we have consistently done thanks to Alison and it is so effective! The countdown too is necessary! #canwin

"Can we take a moment to celebrate Alison Prince and team? I joined a little over 5 years ago when there were about 3K members in this group. We are now over 13K!!! I've seen some of the hard work Alison & team put into this group and programs to help us be successful and way more goes on behind the scenes! Alison n' team always encourage us so please share in the comments one teaching or action that has really impacted your business/life so we can let them know their hard work makes a difference!"
-Dawn M. A., 0-100K Member
Nancy E.
Well said Dawn!!! I agree and this tribe of 13k is so supportive; you are one big example of that! Thanks ❤️
Becky F.
There are a few things that helped me. One is K.I.S.S. Keep it simple sweetheart another is if you don’t post it can’t sell so get out there and put those offers out there. You can sell just about anything online if you post for people to see and remember C+ sells!
❤️ Thank you Alison Prince and the whole team!
Lacy W.
Yes!! It’s obvious how genuine Alison and the team are and how much they sincerely want us to succeed. No surprise to me that the group continues to grow!!
Dawn M. A.
One key moment was Alison's weekly live just as things began shutting down in 2020...she said "stores are closing but laptops are open". I went on to have my first major seller. Key take away--don't be discouraged by what is going on around you, find the opportunities. There are ALWAYS opportunities.
Launched my site last night at 11p. And already starting to make sales..woot! I still have a lot of tweaking to do, and I had to get written permission to use supplier photos on many things until I have time to replace them with my own photos, but didn't want to miss Q4! So happy to be following this course, it is amazing! Thank you, Alison Prince and team!

Hello all. I was overjoyed when I realized I hit huge milestone this weekend after joining in Feb and formally launching April/May. I am sharing here because in reality I have nowhere else to share it but here… Most of my family still does not know that I have ventured into the e-commerce world and neither do the majority of my friends and definitely not my 9-5 work friends. I LOVE having this community of support and people who share ideas, successes, trials and triumphs!!!
I have learned so much in #NextLevel #NextLevel2.0 and I cannot express enough how much doing the little things (not always the exciting things) each day consistently over and over can add up over time. Also being willing to pivot. Where I started is not where I’m at now. But I’ve twisted and moved and twisted and moved in small pivots along the way.
I absolutely adore this group I am so thankful to Alison Prince for developing her 0-100k system.....but it’s not just the system that creates success… its the community...it’s the support of all of you… the support of the coaches… the mindset Alison Prince reminds us to keep- a mindset of resiliency! Also do not underestimate the support and mentorship of Alison Prince on an ONGOING basis. I mean she created such a wonderful program but did not stop there for us .... Alison pours her heart into it consistently on a weekly basis (whether a post, encouragement or podcast)! It’s not just a money making avenue to her you can tell it’s her passion! You can see her teachers heart shining through. Her true desire for her people, her students, her class to be successful and going to the ends of the earth to see us reach that success and the potential she knows we have. I am an educator and I see her teachers heart shine through in this program and I truly believe I would not have the success that I have had this quickly in any other program.
You guys we are truly #blessed to be here and to have this resource...finding the right program and people to share community with I truly believe has been a big secret to success and I am beyond blessed!!! #becauseican #NextLevel #grateful #canwin #allthingspossible

"Alison, thanks for the T-Shirt! It's such a great visual reminder that I'm not alone in my 'Because I Can' journey.
While I'm still figuring out how to drive traffic and convert views to sales through my Etsy shop and setting up Shopify, I continue to list items that I'm not using.
Today I sold a Louet Hatbox Spinning Wheel through Ravelry! Sale #3 with net 20%. The customer even came and picked it up!
#canwin #becauseican"
