Crabill LLC is a personality brand that provides software, books, & trainings in the eCommerce field. It’s August, 2017, four days into my start at Pepperdine University and my Division 1 running career... I walk into my coach’s office, and say, “Coach, I love track but I also love my online business… I realize I can’t do both effectively... So I’m choosing my business and I’m dropping out of college... and I’m quitting my running career,” I say crying. “I’m sorry. I’ll pay back my scholarship.” It was the hardest decision of my life. Growing up in Olympia, Washington, I was raised mostly just by my father. When I was 12, all the cool kids wanted Nike Elite socks, and I saw an opportunity. The socks only came in black and in white, so I bought a bunch, dyed them various colors, and put them for sale on eBay -- at triple the price. It worked! Immediately, I was doing a couple thousand bucks per month in profit... For the next four years, selling things online continued to be my side hustle. But then came my Junior year in high school. My passion for running took over and I set a moonshot goal to earn a Division 1 scholarship. At the time I was running 30 to 40 miles a week, which is average, but that summer, I doubled my mileage to 70-80 miles a week, sometimes 100. Running occupied all my spare time, before and after school, which meant my side hustle was on the back burner. Until the unexpected occurred. The first week of my Senior year, I got a season ending injury! Suddenly I had loads of time on my hands. At first, I was wasting time watching Netflix. But then one night I logged into my eBay account and I remembered, “Oh, wait, I'm also good at selling products online.” Starting that night, everything went to the side - school, friends, social life - so that I could just focus on selling products. I ran my Amazon and eBay business four out of the six periods of my school day, and then after school till 3 a.m., every single night. Rapidly, I built it up to $60,000 per month. Plus, I launched a YouTube channel to share freely what I knew and was learning. April 3rd, 2017, I signed my national letter of intent (NLI) to run for Pepperdine, on a scholarship! And in August, off I went to begin pre-season training camp. 4 days into it, it hit me: I couldn’t do track, college and my business all at the same time. I needed to choose. And so I did. I choose to drop out of college and running, because I felt I would regret it more if I didn’t stay dedicated to my business. I saw it as my most fulfilling future. When I left Pepperdine and returned home to Olympia, I went all in on ramping up an online training course I had just created. I made $8,000 the day it launched, and seven months later, I became the youngest person in ClickFunnel’s history to have reached the Two Comma Club. I was 19. Whether in running or in business, I’ve always preferred to have lofty goals that challenge me, and to be all in and singularly dedicated to those goals - that’s when I’m in my flow and that’s what really drives me. That and running for exercise and fun - and the occasional race.
