When most people are still searching for their True North while they are in their early 20s, Ninos Shamo, 18, has already found his bearing and is in the expert levels in his niches.
The entrepreneur from Canada discovered a drop shipping formula that works for him perfectly. He has been showing other people how he does it, and some of his students are earning 6 figure monthly income through e-commerce.
How did a young kid decide what to do with his life so early? It is a norm that teenagers are mostly squandering their parent’s wealth – using their credit cards, insurance, etc. Ninos Shamo is among the few who have found their purpose earliest possible.
Ninos’ story began when he was in the 10th grade. He had been playing basketball, soccer, and other sports while he was in school. He earned good grades and made his middle-income parents happy. In that last semester of 10th grade, Ninos began to comprehend the importance of money.
At a young age Ninos Shamo was seeing people on the streets driving Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and he knew that the difference between those people and him was that they were action takers. Realizing this, he decided to take action and start researching online about potential businesses to start. That was when it all started.
An Epic Fail
For Ninos’ first business, which he still recalls as a huge fail, he was selling bikinis. He thought that since it was summertime, he would make great sales – but that never happened. He had been watching some videos online, trying to gather as much information as he could. Some videos ended with a pitch, but since he was only 15 and didn’t have thousands for a course, he could not purchase the course.
After running some tests, he started some projects little by little. He was not ready to give up even after months of failure. On his birthday, September 18, 2018, he made his first $500 in a single day. He continued to scale that product up to $5000 a day consistently. From then on he continued scaling other products and investing in his self-education by purchasing relevant books, courses, and programs.
Formal education vs. Self-education
Ninos has since then invested more than $25,000 to date on self-education. “Formal education will make you a living, but self-education will make you a fortune!” He says. On the way up, he has faced obstacles and difficult experiences. He now has years of experience under his belt.
He remembers a tough time when PayPal held his $8000. It was during the early period of his career, and he almost gave up. He had no money to pay his team and pay for Facebook ads. He was fortunate enough to be able to borrow money to pay things off, and 3 days later, the money from paypal was paid to him.
“No school is going to show you how to become wealthy. Instead, you can teach yourself by reading books and learning from those who inspire you. Shoot for the moon and even if you miss, you will land among the stars.” He says as he advocates for self-education.
‘E-commerce changed my life.’
Ninos always wanted to achieve financial freedom and create a passive stream of income. For weeks on weeks he sacrificed going out with friends and playing video games and instead spent his time learning and absorbing information about e-commerce. He worked as hard as he possibly could. At one point in his life he was going to sleep at 3 am and waking up at 6:30 am for school. He also failed for 6 straight months but did not give up. Nothing comes easy. He now owns two main businesses along with multiple eCommerce stores.
Impacting the community
Ninos has launched his own course called Shopify Scalerz. He is educating his students on how to make money online through e-commerce. Unlike many other courses on that subject, Ninos only teaches the methods that he has proven to work. His students are implementing the strategies that work for him and are seeing amazing results. Ninos concludes, “Once you have a system that works consistently, from there it’s only a matter of scaling and staying focused.”
