Another platform I love is called Apollo although I found the free plan a bit limited

checkout GoHighLevel + Uphex… it’s definitely possible but nowhere as easy as it sounds. It’s also super hyped right now so intense competition (because everyone else is watching the Hormozi stuff too)

and you’ll be so far ahead of the game when you start at 16, just go for it! there are thousands of ways to make money and build businesses, not just dropshipping, so i recommend keeping an open mind as you’re exploring opportunities and get exposed to lots of possibilities (youtube, podcasts, etc)
