Hello thank you, Lewis just came across your channel, so far your content is amazing, just looking into it more. Hopefully I should be buying your book as well. I love the honesty respect 👍🏼

I love the honesty and transparency, but it still raises the question on whether or not dropshipping as a side business / extra income is feasible to invest in. Is it? Should someone that has an interest to start in e-commerce even pursue the dropshipping store model or put in the effort?
