The private forum for 7- and 8-figure eCom owners.
Private, moderated, and made up entirely of experienced eCom owners. Post a problem and you'll have several detailed replies the same day, from people with nothing to sell you.
Real names. Real numbers. No vendors. No pitching.
$199 a month, 10x return guaranteed. Not at seven figures yet? Start here instead.
Real threads from the past year.
Plus a private board for 8- and 9-figure owners.
More in this category inside. These are the most-discussed public threads from the past year.
Titles are real. Everything else stays inside: members post under real names and real businesses, and the forum is closed to the public and to search engines.

Ask 13 years of owners a question. Get the answer in seconds.
Type it in plain English. The AI search reads all 50,000+ discussions since 2013 and writes you an answer, citing the threads and the members behind every claim.
Financing inventory, a first operations hire, pricing, stepping away without the wheels coming off, raising kids around money without spoiling them. Some questions change every quarter. These don't, and the answers are already here.
Members handle this three ways: model cash at the PO level rather than the bank balance, negotiate supplier terms early, and line up credit before you need it.
1Model cash at the PO level, not the bank balance
████████ runs a rolling 52-week sheet, layering each PO onto the date the cash actually leaves. Three years in, it holds to within 10%.

After migrating to Shopify we saw a significant drop in traffic. I posted the problem on the forums and within minutes we had dozens of knowledgeable suggestions which helped us fix it. eComFuel saved us tens of thousands in potentially lost sales.
First place I come for questions. It's 95% likely that if I've thought of something, or found a problem, someone on the forum has already been there and got the t-shirt.
I love being able to ask more or less any business question and within hours, if not minutes, have a half dozen solid answers from others who've been through the same thing.
There's so much value in having discussions with peers and operators versus being pitched incessantly by SaaS companies and agencies.
Five rules. All enforced.
The forum is only as good as the people in it and the standards they're held to. These aren't aspirations, they're the reason it works.
- Real names, real businesses. Everyone knows who they're talking to.
- Seven figures to enter. Every member owns a business doing $1M or more. No vendors, no beginners.
- No pitching. Not softly, not "just sharing a resource."
- Everyone contributes, and the whole room is better for it.
- No politics, no piling on. Our members disagree plenty, but are reasonable doing it.
The forum is the core. Here's everything around it.

A few times a month, Andrew sends what the community is working through: the trends worth knowing about, the numbers behind them, and the lessons members were generous enough to share. Plus notes on building a business that leaves room for a life.
What happens in the forum stays in the forum. Andrew writes about the patterns and the lessons, never about a member's business without their say-so.
