This is what Rashad Stewart has been able to show us through his incredible success in the business industry. Such numbers in that time-frame are almost unheard of. However, Rashad has done it. The e-commerce sector has particularly been on the rise in the last few years. However, with COVID-19, it has skyrocketed. As the pandemic forced closure of many shops and stores, many have resorted to e-commerce. In 2017, Rashad started out with his two brands, an all-natural cosmetic beauty brand and a lingerie brand. Both his ventures became incredibly successful and he managed this while working 9-5 as a software engineer. Further milestones followed. Rashad started a dropshipping business. Rashad had started to get the hang of this industry, and he wanted to move ahead in it. Next for Rashad was e-commerce. He realized he could help people make more sales, using Amazon and make a difference in other’s lives as well as himself. The idea was born, and Rashad called his venture Ecom Inspired. With Ecom Inspired, Rashad collaborated with clients to open Amazon accounts in their names and then he managed their stores, the sales, and operations. After taking care of most of the tedious work, Rashad and his clients would then split the profits. This made an incredible deal for clients who were new, but also those juggling between different ventures and would choose to have 50% of the profits rather than nothing. Starting Ecom Inspired in 2021, the company has made incredible leaps. In just a year, Rashad had gone from a newly started company to one with 20 employees. The professionalism instilled in him and his drive to succeed made these accomplishments possible. However, when talking about the success achieved, it can often be easy to forget about hard times and failures. Rough times were no stranger to Rashad as he incurred a loss in 2018 in his dropshipping business. During this time, Rashad had his 9-6 job working as a software engineer as well as his side business and he found himself getting almost no sleep. These times were indeed a test, but Rashad had the confidence in his abilities to continue to build his business. If there is anyone with a 9-5 job wondering whether they can start a business, Rashad speaks directly to them saying it's possible. If there’s anything we can learn from Rashad’s story is that if you put your mind to it and manage your time, success is possible. He talks about it involving late nights and a lot of work. In the future, Rashad plans to expand his business and have more people join the team. He also wants to open a larger office in Atlanta. As well, Rashad plans to buy several new warehouses in Atlanta as his business grows.
