Happy Monday, Ladies and Gents!
Dr Shay Andhee here, Co-CEO of Ecom’s Genie here.
And today I’m going to take you on a thrilling ride through the journey of building Ecom's Genie so far.
☎️ The Call to Adventure
Picture this: I'm sipping coffee one sunny Florida morning – a phone call from my business partner, Dr Lyndon Subbadu, comes through.
We often masterminded for hours back and forth daily exploring different potential business opportunities.
But today was different, we both could sense a heavy sense of dread in the air as we read articles about AI and the impending replacement of our jobs.
Until when it hits us like a lightning bolt, the potential of AI in turbocharging e-commerce businesses.
Using AI, instead of being used by it.
That was our call to adventure, and we were ready to answer.
⛷️ Crossing the Threshold
Let's be real, the threshold in this case was more like a rabbit hole.
We started coding "Ecom's Genie" – our AI E-Commerce coaching software – from scratch.
Learning to code was like deciphering ancient runes, and self-doubt hovered like a dark cloud.
But hey, every hero's gotta start somewhere, right?
From building rudimentary AI Chatbots to researching countless papers on AI, a vision was beginning to form.
We spent countless hours, day and night, pouring over data, transcribing and analyzing hundreds of hours of e-commerce content.
All with one goal in mind, build the best AI E-Commerce Coach the world has ever seen.
⛓️ Tests, Allies, and Enemies
In this journey, every day brought new tests. Market validation? Check.
User feedback? You bet.
And as for allies, I found mentors, collaborators, and early adopters who had my back.
Lyndon and I were both determined, no, obsessed with seeing this through to fruition.
We wouldn’t be stopped.
Every waking hour was dedicated to advancing this objective.
"Ecom's Genie" itself became our trusty sidekick, armed with AI-driven insights.
But of course, there were foes – the challenges and competitors that kept me on and our team on our toes.
From countless developmental roadblocks and hurdles, to the mental struggle of balancing it all, I’m grateful for my faith in God for keeping me sane.
🎢 The Ordeal
Ah. Scaling "Ecom's Genie" is a rollercoaster ride.
Marketing it while juggling profitability is like juggling flaming swords.
But I embraced the challenge, battled the odds, and pushed through.
Perseverance? You bet.
Determination? In spades.
💰The Reward
Here's where the story gets juicy.
Seeing "Ecom's Genie" gain traction and grow into a valuable tool for e-commerce businesses?
That was my reward.
It was like finding the treasure chest at the end of a labyrinth – both financially rewarding and incredibly fulfilling.
✅ The Return
Now that I'm on this journey, I'm on a mission to share the knowledge, wisdom, and insights I've gained.
Not just about "Ecom's Genie," but also about e-commerce, technology trends, business strategy, AI, and heck, even life itself.
The return phase is all about giving back and helping fellow entrepreneurs on their epic quests.
So there you have it.
The journey of building "Ecom's Genie" is so far a wild, challenging, and ultimately rewarding ride.
It's proof that with a dash of courage, a sprinkle of determination, and a whole lot of innovation, you can conquer any entrepreneurial quest that comes your way.
So go forth, fellow heroes, and may your own journeys be filled with epic triumphs!
Shay
Co-CEO of Ecoms Genie
