| 00:00:00 | 00:00:03 | what is going on everyone hatin here |
| 00:00:01 | 00:00:05 | coming back at you with another video |
| 00:00:03 | 00:00:07 | from the desert I'm headed back to LA |
| 00:00:05 | 00:00:08 | tomorrow but I want to keep dropping |
| 00:00:07 | 00:00:10 | these every single day so this video is |
| 00:00:08 | 00:00:11 | probably gonna be really short but I |
| 00:00:10 | 00:00:12 | want to tok about something that I'm |
| 00:00:11 | 00:00:13 | starting to get a lot of comments about |
| 00:00:12 | 00:00:15 | and a good amount here hitting me up on |
| 00:00:13 | 00:00:17 | Instagram too so I thought I'd address |
| 00:00:15 | 00:00:19 | it and show my solution or my thoughts |
| 00:00:17 | 00:00:21 | on and how I overcame that which is how |
| 00:00:19 | 00:00:22 | do you actually do Shopify dropshipping |
| 00:00:21 | 00:00:24 | if you're under 18 now I know a lot of |
| 00:00:22 | 00:00:25 | people ask us I'm sure you've seen |
| 00:00:24 | 00:00:26 | people ask it if you're under 18 you've |
| 00:00:25 | 00:00:29 | probably had the same thought when |
| 00:00:26 | 00:00:31 | setting up your store it does to a |
| 00:00:29 | 00:00:33 | degree which we'll tok about require |
| 00:00:31 | 00:00:35 | you to be 18 at some point so yes you |
| 00:00:33 | 00:00:37 | can still make the store in your name |
| 00:00:35 | 00:00:39 | but you do need someone over 18 with |
| 00:00:37 | 00:00:40 | their social security to actually like I |
| 00:00:39 | 00:00:42 | guess you could call it a cosign but |
| 00:00:40 | 00:00:44 | basically when you want to ask for the |
| 00:00:42 | 00:00:46 | social security and the information just |
| 00:00:44 | 00:00:47 | fill out that information with somebody |
| 00:00:46 | 00:00:49 | over eighteen whether that's your |
| 00:00:47 | 00:00:51 | brother your dad a friend business |
| 00:00:49 | 00:00:52 | partner anything my business partners |
| 00:00:51 | 00:00:54 | over 18 but I didn't even have him sign |
| 00:00:52 | 00:00:57 | I had my cosign on my actual business |
| 00:00:54 | 00:00:58 | which happens to be my grandpa sign on |
| 00:00:57 | 00:01:01 | there so just ask your mom your dad a |
| 00:00:58 | 00:01:03 | friend a brother someone over 18 with a |
| 00:01:01 | 00:01:04 | valid Social Security that would show |
| 00:01:03 | 00:01:05 | that to sign on it for you you know |
| 00:01:04 | 00:01:07 | there's no risk on there and it's just |
| 00:01:05 | 00:01:09 | Shopify in itself has to have you be |
| 00:01:07 | 00:01:11 | over 18 like due to their terms and |
| 00:01:09 | 00:01:12 | conditions their legal business setup so |
| 00:01:11 | 00:01:14 | yes the store can still be in your name |
| 00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | I'll show you guys here in a second it |
| 00:01:14 | 00:01:18 | says welcome Hayden it doesn't say the |
| 00:01:16 | 00:01:19 | other person's name whose signed is over |
| 00:01:18 | 00:01:21 | 18 so everything's still in your name |
| 00:01:19 | 00:01:23 | you could charge your credit cards here |
| 00:01:21 | 00:01:25 | everything you're liable but you do need |
| 00:01:23 | 00:01:26 | someone over 18 to actually be on it to |
| 00:01:25 | 00:01:29 | some degree so if you look right here it |
| 00:01:26 | 00:01:31 | says good afternoon Hayden says my name |
| 00:01:29 | 00:01:33 | so it's still in your name like I said |
| 00:01:31 | 00:01:34 | everything you just need someone over 18 |
| 00:01:33 | 00:01:36 | which I'd recommend just having your |
| 00:01:34 | 00:01:37 | parents do it you know yes they might |
| 00:01:36 | 00:01:38 | freak out cuz it's their social security |
| 00:01:37 | 00:01:40 | but nothing goes through they're not |
| 00:01:38 | 00:01:41 | going to send you anything or do |
| 00:01:40 | 00:01:42 | anything with it that's just what's |
| 00:01:41 | 00:01:44 | required so if you want to do it I don't |
| 00:01:42 | 00:01:46 | know if you're from some other country |
| 00:01:44 | 00:01:47 | there might be some more tiknical |
| 00:01:46 | 00:01:49 | issues with that I can't answer that for |
| 00:01:47 | 00:01:50 | you I'm from the US that's where I live |
| 00:01:49 | 00:01:52 | that's where I do business so the one |
| 00:01:50 | 00:01:54 | thing I hope and that I ask you to not |
| 00:01:52 | 00:01:56 | do is to not let age be a dictating |
| 00:01:54 | 00:01:57 | factor and whether you're successful or |
| 00:01:56 | 00:01:59 | not the reason that I actually have my |
| 00:01:57 | 00:02:01 | grandpa even signed on the business you |
| 00:01:59 | 00:02:02 | know like I said he's my cosign and he's |
| 00:02:01 | 00:02:04 | I guess kind of liable for that even |
| 00:02:02 | 00:02:05 | though I'm the main signature is because |
| 00:02:04 | 00:02:07 | my parents actually wouldn't let me do |
| 00:02:05 | 00:02:08 | business under 18 they were I guess I'm |
| 00:02:07 | 00:02:10 | gonna call them immature |
| 00:02:08 | 00:02:12 | I will in this situation said once |
| 00:02:10 | 00:02:13 | you're 18 you can start your business so |
| 00:02:12 | 00:02:15 | we're not gonna sign on it for you now |
| 00:02:13 | 00:02:16 | is that not the most thing |
| 00:02:15 | 00:02:18 | you've ever heard right that I'm built a |
| 00:02:16 | 00:02:20 | six-figure business in that time like |
| 00:02:18 | 00:02:22 | the last let's just call it five months |
| 00:02:20 | 00:02:24 | with that this specific business that |
| 00:02:22 | 00:02:25 | I'm toking about signing on it and they |
| 00:02:24 | 00:02:27 | wanted me to wait until I'm 18 I'm |
| 00:02:25 | 00:02:29 | trying to get this business to about six |
| 00:02:27 | 00:02:30 | figures a month by the time I'm 18 so |
| 00:02:29 | 00:02:32 | the fact that they wouldn't even sign on |
| 00:02:30 | 00:02:33 | that you know it would hold most people |
| 00:02:32 | 00:02:35 | back but I knew what I was capable of |
| 00:02:33 | 00:02:37 | and what I wanted to do so I had to go |
| 00:02:35 | 00:02:38 | find someone to co-sign for me you can |
| 00:02:37 | 00:02:40 | build a business whether it's a social |
| 00:02:38 | 00:02:41 | media marketing agency whether it's |
| 00:02:40 | 00:02:44 | doing affiliate marketing whether it's a |
| 00:02:41 | 00:02:46 | tiknology firm with nano robots |
| 00:02:44 | 00:02:47 | doing some crazy doesn't matter |
| 00:02:46 | 00:02:50 | drops should be the same thing you just |
| 00:02:47 | 00:02:52 | need to do it there's always a way just |
| 00:02:50 | 00:02:53 | be creative be resourceful I mean I |
| 00:02:52 | 00:02:55 | started trading stoks when I was 12 |
| 00:02:53 | 00:02:57 | okay for that you have to be over 18 so |
| 00:02:55 | 00:02:59 | I was just creative I had people over |
| 00:02:57 | 00:03:01 | that sign for me open the accounts I |
| 00:02:59 | 00:03:02 | traded my money under their name that's |
| 00:03:01 | 00:03:04 | irrelevant but at the same time it's |
| 00:03:02 | 00:03:06 | also very relevant so don't let that |
| 00:03:04 | 00:03:07 | hold you back I know in a few videos ago |
| 00:03:06 | 00:03:08 | I toked about things that people |
| 00:03:07 | 00:03:10 | overthink this is definitely one of them |
| 00:03:08 | 00:03:11 | yes of course it's something you have to |
| 00:03:10 | 00:03:13 | deal with but you can easily find a |
| 00:03:11 | 00:03:14 | solution I just hold it to you hopefully |
