01 · The honest problem

Most founders are
not stuck because
they are lazy.

They are stuck because the internet is screaming a different answer at them every five minutes, and none of it is built for their stage.

You are trying to make decisions across product, ads, email, Shopify, stock, profit, hiring, freight, retention and customer experience. Everyone online has a take. None of them know your business.

The Facebook groups are noisy. The courses are static. The agencies want a retainer for work you should be doing yourself. The masterminds run on tactics from 2021.

You change tactics, then you change them again. You spend on ads before the store is ready. You redesign the store before the offer is proven. You launch a new SKU before the current one is dialled in.

You are doing the work. You are just doing it without context, without sequence, and without a room of operators who can help you decide what matters next.


02 · What this is

eCommerce Circle is
the operator room
for Aussie Shopify
founders.

The place you join when you want practical help, not motivational fluff. The room where decisions get made, not just admired.

It is not a course library. Not a Facebook group. Not an agency. Not a guru program. It is the operating environment for growing a Shopify brand in Australia.

Live support

Real problems, real people, real time

You stop trying to figure everything out alone. You put your actual store, your actual numbers, and your actual decision in front of operators who can help.

10P operating system

A sequence, not a list

You stop guessing what to fix next. You start working through the right things in the right order, using the same framework the room thinks in.

Operator community

You are not deciding alone anymore

A vetted community of Aussie Shopify operators between calls. Most questions get a useful answer in minutes, not days.

Pathway, not a product

One ecosystem, two rooms

From your first orders to serious scale, the system carries you. Connect builds the engine. Collective sharpens the calls.

"Two months in I had stopped second guessing the calls I was making. The frameworks alone are worth a year of membership."Aussie Shopify operator · growth stage

03 · Your path

Two rooms.
One progression.

Most operators start in Connect. Some never need to leave it. The Collective is the next-level room when the decisions you are making get bigger and more expensive to get wrong.

01 · Start here

Connect

$0 to $400K a month · $97/mo · Open enrolment

The development room. Daily live coaching. The 10P operating system. A Slack of Aussie operators. 7-day trial. No application.

Every operator starts here. Connect is where the foundations get installed and the engine gets built. It is also the room where Paul and the senior coaches spot the operators ready to step up.

Connect is execution. Build the engine.
02 · Earn the room

The Collective

~$150K+ a month · Capped at 50 · $750/mo

The ascension room. Monthly hot-seat sessions, peer-led, founder-fit Zoom interview required.

Two ways in: invited up from Connect by Paul or a senior coach (most members), or apply direct via founder-fit interview (refunded if not a fit). Either path, same room.

Collective is decision-making. Compress time.

Connect is where you build. Collective is where you decide. Same journey, two stages.


04 · Connect

The starting room.
The operating system.
The foundation.

For Aussie Shopify founders · $0 to $400K a month

Connect

$97/mo or annual · Open enrolment · 7-day trial · No application

Connect is the room you join when you want to stop guessing and start working through the right things in the right order. Daily live coaching with the eCommerce Circle bench. The 10P operating system. A Slack of Aussie operators. Recordings library, playbooks, and informal in-person events through the year.

This is the foundation. Whether you are doing your first orders or scaling toward $400K a month, Connect is where the fundamentals get installed. It is also the room where Paul spots the operators ready for The Collective.

  • Daily live coaching calls Monday to Friday
  • The 10P operating system applied to your business
  • Private Slack community of Aussie Shopify operators
  • Full recordings library and operator playbooks
  • Informal in-person events around Australia
  • 7-day trial, cancel anytime on the monthly plan
05 · The Collective

The next-level room.
For decisions, not
execution.

For advanced operators · ~$150K+ a month

The Collective

$750/mo or annual · Capped at 50 · Founder-fit Zoom interview

The Collective is the room above Connect. Smaller, sharper, harder to get into. For operators making bigger decisions and needing peer-level strategy, not more tactics. Capped at 50 seats. Founder-fit Zoom interview required. The room where calls get pressure-tested before money gets spent.

Two paths in: most members get invited up from Connect by Paul or a senior coach when they cross the right revenue band. The other path is direct apply, where payment starts the application and the founder-fit interview decides. Refunded in full if not a fit.

  • Monthly hot-seat sessions, peer-led
  • Direct lines to operators running businesses just like yours
  • Specialist network access (paid, email, CRO, supply, finance, freight)
  • Annual in-person event in Victoria, included
  • Founding rate locked for the life of your membership
  • Capped at 50 seats, on purpose

If you are a serious operator, this is the room you want to earn your way into.


06 · The framework

The 10P operating system.

Every Shopify business runs on ten moving parts. Most founders over-focus on one (usually ads) and let the rest leak. More orders is the result of every part working together. This is how the room thinks.

01
Product

Product

What you sell. Range, supply, margin, quality. The thing customers pay for and the economics behind it.

02
Prospects

Prospects

Who you sell to. Traffic, audience, cold and warm. How new customers find you and what they cost.

03
Profit

Profit

The real economics. Margin, contribution, unit economics, P&L. Revenue that actually lands in the bank.

04
Patrons

Patrons

Existing customers. Repeat rate, LTV, loyalty. The people already in your list and what happens to them next.

05
Promotion

Promotion

Marketing. Paid, email, content, brand, offers. How the business shows up and the machine that makes it work.

06
Platform

Platform

The store. Shopify, tech stack, CRO, UX, conversion. The thing customers touch from ad to thank you page.

07
Performance

Performance

Metrics, reporting, dashboards. What you measure and the decisions you make from it.

08
People

People

Team. Hiring, structure, culture, founder time. The second biggest lever in the business after product.

09
Protection

Protection

Legal, finance, tax, cashflow, risk, IP. The quiet layer that keeps the business alive when things get hard.

10
Practice

Practice

Operations, systems, rhythms. The daily, weekly and monthly operating cadence that holds the whole thing together.

07 · What changes when you join

From guessing
to clarity.

The room does not change your business overnight. It changes how you operate inside it. The compounding starts the day you stop deciding alone.

Guessing what to fix next
A clear sequence and order of operations
Deciding alone in your own head
A room of operators who get it
Random tactics from the internet
A 10P operating system you actually use
Slow, second-guessed decisions
Faster, sharper calls with peer pressure-testing
Watching gurus and feeling further behind
Real Aussie operators in the same boat as you
Spending on ads before the store is ready
Building the engine before you pour fuel on it

08 · Built by operators

We have been
in the trenches.

eCommerce Circle exists because we needed a better room ourselves. So we built it.

For 25+ years, the team behind eCommerce Circle has built, fixed, and scaled Shopify brands across Australia.

Through Insiteful, our agency arm, we have worked on 500+ Shopify stores a year. We have made the mistakes you are about to make. We have seen the wins you are about to chase. We have built the playbooks the room runs on.

eCommerce Circle is the room we built for the operators we kept meeting who needed support but were not ready to drop a $5K-a-month agency retainer. Founders who needed sharper thinking, better frameworks, and a community of people who understand Shopify, the Aussie market, and the actual job of running a brand.

Run by Paul Warren, supported by senior coaches, and built around real Aussie Shopify operators.

"This is the room I wish I had when I crossed forty thousand a month for the first time. Plain and simple."Paul Warren · Founder, eCommerce Circle

09 · Honest fit check

Who is in the room.
Who is not.

The filter exists so the room actually works. For the right operator, this is the home you have been looking for. For the wrong one, save your money.

For you if
  • You run an Aussie Shopify brand and you actually own the decisions
  • You want practical help, not motivational fluff
  • You are sick of guessing what to fix next
  • You will show up to calls and ask better questions
  • You will contribute, not just extract
  • You want to be in a room of operators, not a feed of strangers
Not for you if
  • You are looking for a magic tactic or a hack
  • You want passive content to consume in your own time
  • You will not implement what you learn
  • You run agencies or services and want to pitch the room
  • You are not the person who actually owns the decisions
  • You want cheap advice from people who do not run a store

10 · Versus the alternatives

Why this exists
and why nothing else
is doing the job.

eCommerce Circle was built because the existing options each solve part of the problem and miss the rest.

Free Facebook groups
Sometimes useful, mostly noisy. Surface-level answers from people at every stage. Helpful occasionally. Not a place to make real decisions.
Online courses
Helpful for learning a topic. Static. They do not look at your business this week and tell you what matters next. Knowledge without context.
Agencies
Useful for execution. Expensive. Not designed to make you a better operator. You become dependent on them rather than sharper yourself.
Going alone
Slow, expensive in mistakes, mentally draining. The cost of figuring it out alone is rarely on the spreadsheet, but it always shows up somewhere.
eCommerce Circle
Live coaching, the 10P system, an Aussie operator community, real frameworks, and a clear pathway from Connect to The Collective. The room where decisions get made and execution gets sharper.
11 · FAQ

Honest answers.

Is this just another course?
No. There are playbooks, recordings and resources, but the value is the room. Daily live coaching, direct feedback on your business, an Aussie operator community, and the pathway from Connect to The Collective. The product is the people you are in the room with.
I am early. Is this too advanced for me?
No. Start in Connect. It is built to help you install the right foundations from your first orders forward. The 10P system tells you what to fix in what order. The room helps you stop spending on the wrong things first.
I am already doing decent revenue. Is Connect too basic?
No. Connect is the entry room and the operating system, not a beginner program. Advanced operators still benefit from the shared language, the live calls, the playbooks, and the community. Connect is also where Paul and the senior coaches see operators ready to step up to The Collective.
Can I join The Collective directly?
You can apply directly. Payment starts the application. Every applicant goes through a founder-fit Zoom interview with Paul. If you are not accepted, you are refunded in full. Clear process. No awkward back and forth. The interview is the gate, not the price.
Why does everyone start in Connect?
Because it creates shared language, shared standards, and a place for Paul and the senior coaches to see who is ready for The Collective. Most Collective members get there because they were spotted in the Connect room first.
What if I join and do nothing?
Then nothing changes. The room works for operators who show up, ask better questions, and implement. If you are not going to do that, save your money. We are not pretending otherwise.
Is this only for Shopify?
We are Shopify-first. Most members run Shopify and most playbooks assume that. The 10P operating system still applies on any platform, but if you are on WooCommerce, BigCommerce or another stack, expect to do some translation. Start in Connect with the 7-day trial, see if the room fits before you commit.
Can service providers or agencies join?
No. eCommerce Circle is for brand operators, not service businesses. If your main revenue is from selling services to ecommerce stores, this is not the room for you. Reach out separately.
What is the difference between Connect and The Collective?
Connect is execution. Open enrolment, daily live coaching, the 10P system applied, a Slack community of Aussie operators. The Collective is decision-making. Application only, capped at 50, monthly hot-seat sessions, founder-fit Zoom interview required. Same journey, two stages.
