E192: Our Stress Points in Running an Ecommerce Business


Listen Later

Stress is perhaps one of the many constants in running an ecommerce business. Whether you're a starting entrepreneur or someone looking to scale that business, stress is always bound to creep up.

Dave and I have both been in business for some time now. Over the years we've encountered situations that resulted in much worrying and a number of sleepless nights. Unfortunately, stress in relation to developing and growing an ecommerce business isn't something many entrepreneurs talk about. This episode aims to initiate that very conversation.

Unsurprisingly, we share quite a few stress points. Here are some that made it to our lists.

  • Inventory
  • Staff
  • Logistics
  • Amazon
  • Tariffs
  • Sales Tax
  • Competition
  • Business failure = Personal failure

We end this conversation with some tips to de-stress.

  • Don't put money on the table that's more than you can spend.
  • Take a real vacation.
  • Set aside time for yourself.
  • Exercise.
  • Spend an hour or so at the end of the day for family time.

What aspects of the business do you stress over? Let us know in the comment section below.
