eCommerce Momentum Podcast

I thought about adding: "and finishes with Love!" to the title of this episode but I thought it was wayyyy too long. But this is the real story of Garland and his business partner Max Abreu. I interviewed Max in episode 97. Together they bring out the best in each other and really have grown in knowledge and experience. They are mature businessmen in their twenties. I love the transition, not abandonment as they figure this ecommerce world out.

Max Abrau Interview #97

Chris has a story to tell. He had a very large and successful ecommerce business in the past that failed. Know what, that's only a small part of his story. He is not afraid to speak of it, what went wrong and how you can prevent that happening to you. He tells that story in episode #44 from November 2015. In this episode Chris walks us through his reasons for dropshipping and his reasons for now not dropshipping and what allowed him to make that difficult conversion. Great story of what hard work, planning and most important execution can do for your struggling business.

I love this series as it shows that there are many ways to approach this business. By knowing yourself or as Gary Vanyerchuk calls it being "Self Aware" you can figure out which approach is right for you. Duane knows that slow and steady was his "Right" approach. When you listen to this episode realize he hit one million in sales this year all without borrowing money. Yes without borrowing money. It can be done. Requires patience and walking away from many deals but look what can be. Where do you want to finish, where does this make sense in your business?

This is the fourth interview in my Young Gun update Series and the message is clear. Each person has found their number, the sales number they wanted and are ready to pivot in their operational processes to take profits. Taking profits is really the goal of any successful business.  Knowing what YOUR number is and then developing a plan on maximizing the profits form YOUR number.

 

That's what is so great about this business, it is YOUR business and I hope when you listen to the five Young Gun updates and hear the differences and understand it is not a male measurement thing. It is what you want period.

Agus is very quick to credit the help of others for his incredible success. He realizes the others in his life are helping him in so much more than business. The life you have will affect your business if you let it. Having a close group of supporters to help keep you focused is so valuable. This is another example of why a group approach to business can bring so much more.

How do you find "Your" group? Give, give, give and then give so me more. Yes that's it. Keep giving until it hurts. Really that's it. Then look for others doing the same, that seem to have similar goals, that treat others as you want to be treated. Get it? You will naturally gravitate to each other, you will find them, they will find you.

Funny how my second Young Gun series interview led us to the same place. Revenue growth is good but profit is better! Its like they rehearsed the message. But logically you do hit a point in business where you have enough. Enough is relative and we all know the phrase if you are not growing you're not growing you are dying. I think that is better suited for profits. Unprofitable revenue is never good, so working on your business to get more from what you have is really smart. Matt says "I want natural growth right now" and if you put the structure and processes in place you will get just that. Seems to be the best of both worlds.

Mitchell Lipp aka Harvey Spectre is one of the "Young Guns". A group that gained their name for a younger aggressive approach to selling on Amazon. They challenge each other, the build up each other and best yet, they work together competitively. That's pretty hard to do.

This is one of a five part series I am doing where I ask each similar questions. The goal is to look at their group structure from each members perspective. Each has a different approach and surely a different demeanor.

 

Ready.... set... boom... Here come the guns!

I was approached by several people suggesting I interview Jing G. I am so fortunate they did. She is a self-aware work in progress. Someone who despite success, wants to find something more. I love that about her. So raw and so honest. She doesn't realize the gifts she has, she will push past most anything! Most would give up and she can find another way. That is a skill set that works well in this business. She had an incredible year and I can tell she is just getting started!
