From Setup to Sale – How to Launch a Shopify Store in Days, Not Months Part 1

Starting your Shopify store can feel like a creative high, until you hit the wall of manual setup. In Part 1 of this two-part story, we follow Sarah, a full-time working mom who wanted to launch a business but got stuck in the boring, burnout-inducing weeds of product uploads, image resizing, and inventory chaos. This episode unpacks why so many first-time sellers stall out and what to do instead.

You’ll learn how friction is the silent killer of most e-commerce dreams and why fast execution beats perfect planning every time. We dig into the psychology behind burnout, the danger of doing too much admin before you’ve made a sale, and how tools like Doba’s One-Click Product Import can radically simplify your startup process. If you're sitting on a half-built store or drowning in product descriptions, this is your wake-up call.
