In this week's podcast, Eric explains how he dropped out of uni to escape the 9-5 grind and went ALL IN on building his own business (with no prior experience).

After discovering a life-changing video, he entered "nightmare mode", isolating himself for months, working 12-14 hour days, meditating, visualizing, and pushing through

From zero to $30k/month in just 5 months, he soon hit $50k/month profit at only 21!

Along the way, he travelled the world, networked with top entrepreneurs, and discovered the power of visualization and mindset.

In this podcast, Eric breaks down exactly how he did it

Ex Burger King Employee Made €15M DropshippingIn this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Faruk, the Ecomlegend, known for his EU dropshipping success - having generated around €15M in sales.However, the journey hasn't been without difficulty, Faruk and his brother Fatih went broke not once, not twice but three times. But these setbacks did not stop them. Driven by a relentless urge to provide for their family, Faruk and Fatih went on to retire their parents in 2021 while still in their 20s.But this conversation goes beyond dropshipping. We explore how Faruk became the man that he is today, the hardships that built his character and his unique approach to using his enemies as motivators, to achieve what most people only dream of.Faruk now lives by his 5 pillars of life: health, wealth, love, happiness, and status - principles I've also adopted.TheoClarkePodcast: Bi-weekly podcast with top eCommerce entrepreneurs: brands, agencies, SaaS & dropshipping, recorded in the heart of Dubai.REQUEST A FREE GOOGLE ADS AUDIT (Book A Call) 👉 https://bit.ly/pdm-google-ads-audit-vslI'm Co-Founder of a performance based Google Ads agency, where we'll increase your Google Ads revenue and ROAS whilst you only pay for a percentage of the revenue attributed to the campaigns.

Built A 7-figure Clothing Brand at 22.

This week's podcast features a special guest, my brother - Niko Clarke. We discuss his journey to building a 7-figure luxury menswear clothing brand, Tropez Official.

Tropez Official, initially launched by Lucas Yazdanfar (or as we know him - Yaz) in 2020. Inspired by Yaz's vision, Niko decided that he wanted more than just the 2-piece set - he wanted to be involved in the business. So, he approached Yaz with an offer to become partners.

Fast forward a few years - Tropez Official is now a 7-figure luxury menswear clothing brand and the rest is history!

In this episode, we dive into Niko’s entrepreneurial journey and cover key topics such as:

- Identifying your target demographic

- Supplier sourcing & product development

- Ordering & stock quantities

- Managing cash flow

- Taking calculated risks

- Product launching scaling with ads

- Leveraging the right influencers

- Keeping up with the change in trends
