Emmanuel Eleyae: I'll be your host, Emmanuel Eleyae, CEO and founder of Eleyae Systems, where we build systems that build brands online and help e-commerce entrepreneurs go from 10k a month to a 100k a month to a million dollars a month in revenue without wasting a fortune on ad spend or working themselves to death to do it so that they can finally pay themselves what they deserve out of their business. We do this because we have built our own e-commerce brands. We've done over 50 million dollars in revenue for our own brands and our client's brands in our agency, and we're just getting started. These systems that we teach, they work, they are effective, they're repeatable, they're scalable. They've worked for our businesses, they've worked for our clients' businesses, and they'll work for your businesses too. Welcome to Eleyae Systems Podcast, Journey To An Eight Figure E-Commerce Business. Welcome to Season two of the Eleyae Systems podcast Journey To An 8 Figure E-Commerce Business and this season is all about execution, how we are putting our lessons into practice out in the real world. We’re gonna be interviewing other entrepreneurs, practitioners in the field, people who are doing e-commerce, doing online business, building their brands online. Season one we focused entirely on teaching, education, what are the different phases of an e-commerce business going from just an idea to hiring that first employee, hitting six figures, to going to seven figures a year, to going to seven figures a month, and hitting that eight figure a year business, and what are all the different steps in between and the systems that are needed and in this season of the podcast we’re gonna be looking at these systems in the wild. How they are being used with some of our own clients with some of our friends, with our colleagues, some of the people that we’ve been in business with together, folks that are exemplifying what it looks like to either rapidly scale or that highlight each stage of where an e-commerce business can be in its journey from idea to eight figure business so that you get exactly what it looks like to get to that next level, to understand where you’re at, and to scale to that next level. So we’ll be talking with people like Lulu who is one of the most resilient entrepreneurs I have ever met and you’re gonna be inspired by her story. She has struggled in ways that we are all familiar with but it's always a good reminder that you know what we can overcome. She worked through a cutthroat industry being in the lash industry and has had, she’s an innovative creating her own patented tools and then having people copy them and steal the patents and try and steal her business under her from under her, then she works through that and gets her business, physical business where people come to her shop, and then the pandemic hits and at the same time she’s pregnant, having another child, and building a family. All wonderful things but man all at the same time but she still perseveres and she’s still making it through so get ready to be inspired by her story. We’re also gonna be talking to Keith Hayden who is a veteran who was in the Air Force, he was a police officer in the Air Force, an investigator just doing big things but what had some remarkably hidden talents and we’re gonna talk about how he’s bringing those out cuz as e-commerce entrepreneurs and online business people, creative is extremely important. It matters in everything we do whether it’s email marketing, Facebook ads, Google ads, YouTube ads, TikTok, lions and tigers and bears oh my. We need content everywhere and that’s just not just photos and images but video content copy writing content and this is a gentleman who blew me away and you’ll be impressed by his interview when he talks about all the different things he can do. He’s a musician, he’s an artist, he’s an author, and all of these things he’s wrapped into a bow where he’s just prolific in producing, but at the same time he suffers from what a lot of us suffer from and that’s imposter syndrome. You’ll hear how he describes how even with being able to play all these music instruments, speaking all these languages, writing all these books, doing all these web series and videos, he still doesn't quite feel like he’s an artist and you’ll hear how he works through those challenges. We’ll also be talking with Doc Williams who used to work for Gary Vaynerchuk at VaynerMedia and has done a lot of big things in the media space y’know it’s not enough to just create content but you also need to get it out there and then the question is how do you make money from content? Well Doc Williams is gonna explain that to us, he’s gonna talk to us about shopify, we’re gonna have a far reaching conversation around all things media, building a brand, being online, and one of the most impressive things that you should get excited about listening to is he’s gonna tell us how we can build a five million dollar a year media company with just a handful of employees. You don't need a big company and get ready to be excited to hear how he literally walks us step by step through that so that’s just a few of the episodes we have in store for you here on this Journey To An Eight Figure E-Commerce Business podcast season two.

You’re gonna walk out of this season, season two, knowing what’s working now. So much has changed with the pandemic closing out, quarantines finishing up, the decline in e-commerce sales after that big huge bump from the Covid. We’re gonna be talking to entrepreneurs, seeing how they’re handling that in this new less e-commerce friendly environment. We’re also gonna be talking about the impacts of iOS 14, iOS 14.5, iOS 15 on paid advertising and email marketing. What are the things that other entrepreneurs are doing to succeed and make things work in this new environment where ads just aren’t as effective as they used to be. We’re also gonna be introducing you to other entrepreneurs and thought leaders in the space who are actually doing these things right now, not just theory, not just a whole checklist of stuff to do, but stories from people in the trenches actually implementing these techniques and making them work and that way you can see yourself in them and see that they are solving the same challenges that you are, whether this is a six figure, seven figure, or eight figure a year business. We’re gonna be talking to folks who are handling these problems and working through them right now, and lastly my goal for you listening to this season two of the journey to an eight figure a year podcast is to walk away with the right resources, software, and tools to make your journey to an eight figure e-commerce business as smooth and as fast as possible.
