From Setup to Sale – How to Launch a Shopify Store in Days, Not Months Part 2

In Part 2 of Sarah’s story, we shift from setup to sales. Now that her store is live, Sarah flips the time ratio—spending 90% of her effort on marketing and only 10% on backend busywork. This episode shows exactly how automation gave her the headspace to build momentum, test her products, and land her first sale, without a warehouse, a VA, or a degree in hustle culture.

We explore what it means to work on your business instead of just in it, why fast execution always beats waiting for perfect branding, and how to turn a single sale into a repeatable system. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to launch or stuck tweaking fonts while your competitors are cashing in, it’s time to flip the script—and your schedule.
