This challenge means a lot to me because I’ve been exactly where you are—trying to figure out if my dream of running a successful business was even possible.

Before I founded Foundr, I was working a job that felt like a dead end.

I’d commute to an office every day, sitting under fluorescent lights, feeling like my life was slipping by while I was building someone else’s dream.

I wanted more.

I wanted freedom.

But I didn’t know where to start.

The turning point for me came when I was rejected from a job that I thought would be “the one”—you know, the dream job I thought would finally make me feel fulfilled.

But I didn’t get it.

I hit rock bottom, questioning everything.

I remember thinking, “If I don’t take control of my future, no one else is going to do it for me.”

That’s when I decided to start Foundr—without any experience in publishing, marketing, or even running a business.

I was just a regular guy with a laptop, working out of my bedroom.

I barely had any money, and I faced failure after failure.

But I was determined not to let those setbacks stop me.

I’m not going to lie—it was tough.

I maxed out credit cards, worked 16-hour days, and there were many times I felt like giving up.

But with each challenge, I pushed through, learned from my mistakes, and kept going.

Slowly, things started to click.

I remember the day I got my first sale—a whopping $5.50.

But you know what?

That $5.50 meant the world to me.

It wasn’t about the money; it was about validation.

It was proof that I could do this.

It kept me going, even when things got tough.

And now, Foundr has grown into a global media company that helps millions of entrepreneurs like you build businesses that give them freedom and autonomy.

But it all started with a decision:

I wasn’t going to settle for an ordinary life. I was going to take control of my future, no matter how hard it got.

That’s why we’re doing the Make Your First Shopify Sale 5-Day Challenge.

I know firsthand that starting your own business can be scary and overwhelming, but I also know the rewards are worth every bit of effort.

And now I’m here to help you get through those tough beginnings so that you can build something that changes your life.

In just 5 days, we’re going to work together to take your idea and turn it into something real.

You’ll get:

Real-time coaching from 7-figure founders like Anthony Lazarus, Christie Whitehill, Jackie Damelian, Jake McKeon, and Gretta Van Riel.

Note: If you're seeing this message, you're currently viewing our emails in plain-text format. This means that you're missing out on a richer, more engaging email experience. Unlike plain-text, HTML emails are capable of displaying vibrant images, clickable links, interactive elements, and a visually appealing design that's tailored to offer you a seamless reading experience. With responsive design techniques, HTML emails ensure that our content looks fantastic and is easily readable whether you're viewing it on a desktop, tablet, or mobile device.

There could be various reasons for you accessing emails in plain-text. It might be a personal preference or a decision influenced by security concerns, bandwidth limitations. In some cases, certain accessibility tools or assistive devices may default to rendering emails in plain-text for easier reading. While these are valid concerns, it's worth noting that modern HTML emails are designed with security and accessibility in mind, aiming to deliver a safe and inclusive experience for all users.

If it's within your means and possible for you, we strongly encourage switching to HTML view. This isn't just about aesthetics; it's about delivering a more dynamic and interactive experience. Our team dedicates a significant amount of time to ensure that our emails are not only informative but also engaging and enjoyable to read. We strive to create content that resonates with our audience, incorporating elements that enhance understanding and retention. We're confident that the HTML version of our emails will provide you with an enhanced experience that's truly unparalleled.

Adopting HTML view also means you'll gain access to features that are simply not possible in plain-text emails. This includes embedded videos, interactive surveys, and animations that can make the content more lively and engaging. Furthermore, HTML emails can be personalized to a greater extent, offering you content that's more relevant to your interests and needs.

We understand that change can be daunting, especially when it comes to how you interact with your digital environment. However, we assure you that switching to HTML view is a step towards a more enriching digital experience. Our team is here to support you through this transition, ready to address any concerns or questions you might have about HTML emails.

We are strongly committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe & high-quality online experience for all of our visitors. We understand that you care about how the information you provide to us is used and shared. We have developed a Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information we receive from users of our website.

To manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional communications, you may unsubscribe by clicking the “unsubscribe” link located on the bottom of any marketing email. Emails related to the purchase or delivery of orders are provided automatically – Customers are not able to opt out of transactional emails. We will try to accommodate any requests related to the management of Personal Information in a timely manner. However, it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in our databases (for example, if we have a legal obligation to keep it for certain timeframes, for example).
