Just got up and ready for the day. How are you today?
Speaker 2
Pretty good. You?.
Speaker 1
Not bad. Trying to get motivated.
Speaker 2
I know how feel. Coffee lots of coffee.
Speaker 1
Sometimes it still seems like it's not enough.
Speaker 2
True there. But I am an entrepreneur so it is easier for me I guess.
Speaker 1
That's awesome. Nothing extraordinary over here. Except maybe my hair, with it being bright red.
Speaker 2
Lucky you!! Mine is just a plain brown.
Speaker 1
Sometimes wish it was plain, lots of questions asking if it's natural.
Speaker 2
True. People are mean sometimes. What do you like to do?
Speaker 1
Biking and hiking are two favorites. How about you?
Speaker 2

What kind of dog is it that you have?
Speaker 2
She's a cocker spaniel named Susie. She's fantastic and I love her.
Speaker 1
Aww she sounds so sweet! How old is she?
Speaker 2
About five years old. She's very friendly and smart. When it's time for walks, she gets her leash and brings it over. haha
Speaker 1
That's adorable! What part of the country are you in? Is it easy to walk her year-round?
Speaker 2
I live in the northeast, but I travel a lot. She's not a fan of the cold, but when I can travel to warmer areas, she comes with me. Do you have any pets?
Speaker 1
I've been thinking about getting a dog, but I have so much trouble making up my mind on what kind to get! What suggestions do you have?
Speaker 2
Well, it depends a lot on what you have in mind. When looking for a pet, think about things like: Will you have time to take care of them? If you have to travel, can they come with or do you have someone to look in on them? Do you want a quiet pet? Do you want a pet to play with? etc., etc. There's a lot to think about. I got my girl because she's easy to travel with and very friendly.
Speaker 1
I should probably think about getting a smaller breed, in all honesty. Have you ever owned a large dog?
Speaker 2
I have. My family had a golden retriever when I was young. He was a great dog. He's play with us out in the yard and go with us on walks around the block. He didn't like to be cooped up indoors, though. It's a good things we were very active kids. haha

Speaker 1
So what exactly do you do as an entrepreneur? What line of business are you in?
Speaker 2
I am in the dropshipping business, if you know what that entails?
Speaker 1
Hmm I'm not quite sure what is. Could you elaborate?
Speaker 2
So, I essentially act as a middle man between suppliers and distributers. I list products from them to a large audience, on a platform, and mark up the price because of my exposure to potential clients.
Speaker 1
Oh that makes sense! Do you enjoy your work? Does it require a lot of traveling?
Speaker 2
No, it is all remote, I never see the products, I just act as an advertiser really. It is very easy for the money it generates. Do you travel a lot?
Speaker 1
That sounds nice, seems like more down time from working remotely. I love to travel, I'm always trying to find new hiking spots
Speaker 2
Have you ever been to Scotland, they have some wonderful hiking spots!
Speaker 1
Yes! I actually did the west highland way hike. It was so beautiful! That trip made me want to adventure even more
Speaker 2
Have you heard of the North Coast 500?
Speaker 1
I think so- it's kind of like the Pacific Coast highway of Scotland right?
Speaker 2
Yes, you drive around for about 500 miles but there are hiking spots along the way. It is meant to be one of the most beautiful journeys ever!

I live in the northeast part of my country. I sometimes travel to warmer areas. I am a dropshipping entrepreneur. I am a middle man between suppliers and distributors. I make money by marking up prices while marketing to a large audience. I work remotely. Most of my work is advertising. My work is easy. I have been to Scotland. I did the North Coast 500 in Scotland. I like to drive and hike.
Speaker 1
Could you give me some more information about getting started in dropshipping?
Speaker 2
Sure! Basically to get started in dropshipping, you just order goods from a distributer when the buyers are interested. You can make a lot of money in the middle ground with selling them for a higher price. Its kind of like flipping a home and making a profit. Are you interested in that job too?
Speaker 1
Maybe! I definitely need to find some creative ways to make money.  Someone told me the other day that they want to buy my hair, but I don't think that would be very steady work! haha
Speaker 2
Oh wow! I've heard of people who like things like that. Maybe if you could sell it for a super high price, it would be worth it! I agree though, thats why I like remote work. These days its just not worth it for me to commute to a 9-5 everyday. Where do you work right now?
Speaker 1
They are a wig manufacturer and they said they'd give me $300 for a pound of my hair.  I don't think I'd want to cut off that much of it though, even though I don't like it.  I've basically been working as a dog/walker, florist delivery/ all kinds of odd jobs. I'd rather work from home as much as possible.
Speaker 2
That's fair.. it does take a long time to grow back hair and I wouldn't say 300 bucks is worth it. Those jobs sound really fun, I always wanted to get into odd jobs. I feel like my day schedule would be really fun and interesting. But yeah, there are definitely pros and cons to both sides. 
Speaker 1
I've been trying to pass a test to become a audio transcriber, but it's really hard.  I'll find something eventually.  I'm pretty creative and like to think outside of the box.  That's why I asked you more about dropshipping.
Speaker 2
I can tell you some more about advertising if you'd like! I picked it as my profession because I also felt like I had a passion for creativity and art. I really like getting to express myself through my work so I got really lucky. What ways do you like to be creative?
Speaker 1
Well, I'm not particularly artistic or anything, but I can look at a situation, and imagine how it can be changed with a little tweaking here, and a little tweaking there, and I wind up creating a  whole new situation from it, if that makes sense. And yes I'd love to hear more about advertising!
Speaker 2
Wow, in that case you should look into consulting! Before I did advertising I worked as a consultant for a bit, and their jobs were entirely about being able to assess a situation and make some useful tweaks
Speaker 1
Hmm!  That sounds like something that I would enjoy!  I probably don't have the credentials for it though.  I'll have to look into it.
Speaker 2
You'd be surprised! Entry level analysts can get by in consulting. You just have to be able to talk to people and be charismatic! And just by knowing you I can tell you'd be great at it!

Speaker 1
I looked into droppshipping as you suggested, and found some possible opportunities. Thank you so much!
Speaker 2
You're very welcome. What kind of products are you considering?
Speaker 1
I'm thinking of selling shoes. What do you think of this?
Speaker 2
It sounds like a good idea if that's something that you know a lot about and enjoy talking about them with people. That's why I always suggest that people pick a product that they enjoy working with. Drop shipping is all about marketing. 
Speaker 1
I see. I'm not too experienced but my brother is. Would like to know more about dropshipping. Where is a good place to start?
Speaker 2
I would avoid all of the people who make money online selling courses about making money. That is a genius idea, though. LOL! I'd just go to YouTube and watch some free videos about people who have tried and failed and then succeeded. Sometimes you learn so much more from failure than success. And I'll always be around if you have any questions or need any help. 
Speaker 1
Ah great. Thanks for the tip. So what platform do you recommend for dropshipping?
Speaker 2
Shopify is the biggest and easiest to use for beginners. I prefer Magneto, but that's just me. There are plenty of websites that discuss the pros and cons of each platform. Just keep in mind that a lot of "the best" ones are chosen by people because they are an affiliate of the site, so they make money when you sign up for it from a link on their website. 
Speaker 1
Oh yes, no more sincere information out there. What country do you order your products from?
Speaker 2
Without question, it's always China. They have the largest selection and the shortest international shipping time. I would guess that some other countries might be competitive at some point, but China kind of owns the market for drop shipping in the US when it comes to wholesale items. How much are you looking to make out of this endeavor?
Speaker 1
For starters I'm hoping I can make at least $45,000 in the first year. Do you think this is possible?
Speaker 2
That might be a little high, but it's certainly possible. Like I said before, after you find your wholesaler, it's all about marketing. Do you have a website yet?
