One Thing I’ve Learned About Growing an Online Store Building an online store has taught me that making consistent sales is not just about having products available. It’s also about understanding customers, improving product presentation, and learning what works. I’ve been focusing on making small improvements, testing different approaches, and staying consistent even when results are slow. I’m still learning and growing as a store owner, and I believe sharing experiences can help us all improve.

Had a nice win recently and wanted to share it with the community. I’ve been staying consistent, testing different approaches, and paying closer attention to what actually gets results. The biggest takeaway for me: progress doesn’t always come from making huge changes. Sometimes it’s just about finding what works and doing more of it. Still learning, still improving, but definitely happy with the progress so far. What’s a recent win you’re proud of?

You can build and ship an app with AI faster than ever before. This is fantastic.. If you've got an idea, no customers yet, and you need to find out whether anyone even wants it.. move fast. Build it, put it in front of people and learn. But there's a line most non-developers don't see until they're already past it. When customers are re logging in, paying, trusting you with their information, or depending on the app to get a result.. "it worked yesterday" stops being good enough. Here's how it usually goes. You make one small change to improve the checkout.. let's say you add an order bump. Looks great. You ship it. That change quietly breaks the button that gives a new customer access to what they just bought. And you have no clue because there is no error or warning.. From where you're sitting, the app looks fine. Meanwhile your customer thinks you took their money and disappeared. They email support. Maybe they ask for a refund. Maybe they mention it to someone. Maybe they talk crap about you in the comments of your ad. Maybe they just never come back. You find out days later, if you find out at all. This is what automated tests are actually for. Checking that the code looks right is the easy part. The tests that protect a business open a real browser, log in as a real test user, click the actual buttons, and confirm the right things happen.. and that the wrong things can't. The questions a good test suite answers every single time you ship: Can a new customer sign up, pay, and get what they bought? Can the right person reach the right information? Can the wrong person get into something they should never see? Did this new feature break something that was already working? You don't have to click through every page yourself forever. Use an agent that creates end to end tests with Playwright to automate each browser test super fast. The tests get built into the product, and every change gets checked before it ever reaches a customer. Already have an app running with none of this? That's fixable.

This last week has NOT gone according to my usual plan. An unexpected water main break down the street affected my home. It quickly turned into a flooded apartment dealing with water damage, and the City of Phoenix telling us that they will be moving us to a hotel for the next 2 months while they repair the damage to our home. I even had to reschedule the Week 3 session of the $1K Accelerator Sprint I’m mentoring. And I’ll admit something… I’ve struggled to stay focused on my business in the middle of all this activity. Then one of my mentees, Theresa Lee Smith, left me a comment that stopped me for a minute: “Love your PMA — Positive Mental Attitude when life keeps giving us challenges. You keep going strong.” My response was simple: I have to. I’m building my dream life and helping other people build theirs. I have to stay positive. But staying positive doesn’t mean things don’t knock you off track. Sometimes they do. The important part is learning how to find your way back to the process. Here are 3 things I’m doing to get focused again: 1. Go back to your anchor. For me, that’s the Funnel Builder Certification training - Badge 8. Instead of trying to figure out everything I missed or everything I need to catch up on, I go back to the process and get back to the next step. 2. Shrink the goal. When life gets chaotic, the answer isn’t always doing MORE. So I ask myself: “What’s the ONE thing I can complete today that moves my business forward?” One follow-up. One funnel section. One prospect conversation. One post. Small progress gets the wheels moving again. 3. Give yourself permission to adjust the plan — without abandoning the goal. I had to adjust everything I am doing and had to do that in.a hotel without most of my home office conveniences . The schedule may have to change. The strategy may have to change. The timeline may have to change. But the goal and destination haven't change. I’m still building. I’m still learning. I’m still mentoring.
