ā˜… Customers Are Real People: Remember that your customers are real human beings who value a good experience.Ā 

ā˜… Effort in Selling High-Value vs. Low-Value Products: Lewis shares the insight that it takes the same effort to sell high-value products as it does to sell low-value items.Ā 

ā˜… Numbers Favour High-Ticket Dropshipping: Lewis highlights that high-ticket dropshipping offers more margin for error, especially for beginners.

ā˜… Understand the Timing of Growth: Lewis reminds listeners that growth takes time, and instant riches are unrealistic.Ā 

ā˜… Invest in Learning, Not Mistakes: Instead of learning through costly mistakes, Lewis advises investing in training and mentorship.Ā 

ā˜… Action Is the Best Teacher: Lewis emphasises that taking action is the most effective way to learn. Practical experience provides invaluable lessons that theory alone cannot match.
