As a digital business owner, one of the most important decisions you have to make is which eCommerce platform to use to sell your products online. Shopify and Amazon are two of the biggest names in eCommerce, so you'll probably have to choose between them.

Before we get into a detailed comparison of Shopify and Amazon, let's talk about what makes them different: Shopify is a full-service eCommerce store platform that lets users create, customize, and fully manage their own online stores that are completely separate from other stores.

On the other hand, Amazon is a place where people from all over the world can sell their goods. So you'll get a spot in the Amazon marketplace where you can sell your products. Still, you won't have as much control over your branding, management, relationships with customers, and shipping as you would with Shopify.

In this review, I'll tell you how much your platform costs, what its pros and cons are, what its best and worst features are, and a lot more. So that by the end of this article, you'll know which one is best for your business.

Using Stories To Influence People

I found a mentor, a man named Ed Lawson. I write about him in my book. He was known as the California Walkman. He was a great civil rights leader of his time and Ed was a black man coming up in the 60s and 70s and he would constantly get harassed by the police. This is before Black Lives Matters. This is before all that kind of stuff and he took the police department to the supreme court by himself. He's not an attorney. 

He was just a guy who believed in justice and fairness and when I met him, he had gone through all that. He had won a supreme court case and he had decided that he was going to mentor some young people and there I was. And I was mentored by him for a period of time and he really shifted my view on the world and taught me a lot about how the world works, how business works, how deals are conducted. 

Smart Strategy For Buying A Car

You know it's funny what you were talking about recession and inflation. So we've got a problem now as it stands in cars. There aren't any cars anywhere. And me and my son what we do is we love looking at exotic cars especially Porsches, and I was in the market for one, so it was like, all right let's go take a look. So we went to the dealership here in Los Angeles,  the Porsche dealership. And the guy came out, very nice a dealer that I've known for years and he said, Shaahin, I got to tell you we don't have any cars. I said, what do you mean? He's like, well, we can let you drive, you know, the latest ones. I know you like these cars. You can drive the ones that you see on our website. We just can't sell them to you. I said, what do you mean? He said, all the cars that you see here, they're sold and we don't know what's coming in September. 

So we've been offering a crazy amount of money to anybody who's got a used Porsche to bring it in and sell it to us. We would never offer these prices to customers. Most people are getting 20 30 percent more than what they paid for these cars four or five years ago now to buy. And Porsches are renowned for holding their value. They're one of the highest resell cars. It's Porsche and then BMW depending on which models you get, but very effectively you could buy a Porsche or BMW if you know how to buy correctly. Drive it for two to four years and then sell it for more than you bought it for. So we we're talking about kind of these inflationary hacks. So I think I can share one hack with you as far as cars go. That's that look at cars in your area, but buy them in small towns. And why do I say this? Okay, in L.A. you walk into the Porsche dealership like we did and we we drove the new Porsche. 

I Take on beautiful car. It's the all-electric Porsche take-on was impressive. Not as impressive as the Tesla plant. I have to say, I thought the Tesla plaid which I drove the other day was was much better and we sat in the car. I think Porsche has a little bit of work to do on their electric take on. Their other cars are spectacular and so we test drove this car. And the first hack that I realized is drive the cars where you're at, buy them in a small town. Why? Okay, in L.A. a $200,000 car, I know it sounds crazy. That's what these things are. Going for now, 150 to 200,000 cars are going for 50,000 or 100,000 over sticker. When you get to these luxury models there we had a car out front. I said, hey bud, how much is that one? 

He said 150k. I said, great. I'll take it. I love it. I got the money right now. I'll take it and he said, oh, but I can't sell to you for that much. I said, why not? He said, you know Mr. Cheyene, we getting 100 grand above, so if you want to pay 250, I can sell that to you, otherwise I can't sell it to you. So in L.A., New York, Miami $100,000 car every guy that walks in can get that or at least lease it. That's a two thousand twenty three hundred dollar a month payment to get a hundred thousand dollar car, right? And you can sleep in your mom's basement and drive a fancy car like that. 

Overcoming Adversities By Building Inner Strength

This is a series on how to hack and grow rich, make money online and how to overcome life and business/career issues.

▶ Video Transcript: You're now listening to Hack and Grow Rich with Shaahin Cheyene and his co-host Bart Baggett.  I started reading early after I got my ass kicked daily on the playgrounds. I decided I'm going to take to books and I read Napoleon Hill. I read the early Tony Robbins books, Wayne Dyer. I was deep deep deep into personal development. I read Og Mandino. I read Richard Bach and and all these great writers, those old-timey writers that wrote about success. I don't know how much of those guys what they said was and how much of it was real and you know there's all this controversy around Napoleon Hill and those guys and that's fine. But it created your frame of mind for sure. That's right. It created a mindset for me that that was possible. So later in life as I approached more and more success, I started reaching out to writers. I started reaching out to personal development writers, business writers and making them my friends and started working with them on some of these concepts of success, which I, you know, to this day carry with me.
