Ecommerce Momentum Podcast

Frankie has it right. His family is always first, and staying close to his overall family is the village he is using to help raise his. Smart. Finding balance is elusive for many of us but be sure that is what you want. This time of year balance looks differently than it does in February or July. I love the intentional approach that Frankie takes and I think you will too.

I loved when Phil used the term: “Web Asset”. Have you thought of your business this way yet? Think if you owned a building or had equipment that you use in the business. It would be an asset on your books that has value. Makes sense. So if you create a web presence that sells goods, services or has content others are looking for you have created a web asset. That web asset in todays marketplace has more value than many brick and mortar places. Start thinking about how you can use third party sites to help you create your own web asset.

How true the title of this episode is for many people in corporate America today. The “24hr 7 day a week” responsibility is taking an affect on people. They can’t turn off their cell phones but yet struggle to get a raise. They are lucky they have a job after all! Well Taurin is an early adopter of what is coming. There is a tidal wave of people saying “PASS”! Waling away is always an option. Just ask Taurin.   Mentioned: https://www.facebook.com/taurin (Taurin’s Facebook contact) https://www.sellerlabs.com/cares/toys-for-tots/application/ ()   Sponsors: http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ecommerce) http://sellerlabs.com/momentum (Scope from Sellerlabs) http://trygodaddy.com/click.track?CID=344983&AFID=419630&godaddy.com=momentum (GoDaddy) http://trygrasshopper.com/click.track?CID=336231&AFID=419630&grasshopper

Ok Cool story alert! She married into his collection and their business! Love it, love how she took what she clearly knew would help him and he accepted her help.

Funny how people figure out their “lane”. If you go back and look hard enough you get to see the choices (good and bad) that have brought you to this point in your life. Guess what, Glen likes what he sees. He has shifted from the “cubicle” to the freedom to do as he pleases in his time frame and on his terms. Very cool story from a great guy.   Mentioned: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ds-amazon-quick-view/jkompbllimaoekaogchhkmkdogpkhojg?hl=en (DS Amazon Chrome extension) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/merch-minds-podcast-glen-yong/id1153199733?mt=2 (Merch Minds podcast) http://www.hustlerhacks.com/ (Hustler Hacks website) https://www.youtube.com/user/MadCheapKicks (Hustler Hacks on Youtube) Glen’s email https://www.sellerlabs.com/cares/toys-for-tots/application/ ()   Sponsors: http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4e

I love the Wholesale Formula guys: Dan and Eric (and Dylan). They really have a great program (I am not an affiliate). I should know I have had many of their students on my show. We spend a lot of time talking about relationships and what it takes to really be a partner.

Jason aka “Prof Sales” on Youtube has a pretty typical story. Went to school, got a corporate job and chose to leave. I see this more and more in our world.

Love this phrase from Mary Ann: “In and out the door in 24”. It kind of tells you what you can expect from the Wisconsin prep center. Fast service and even faster turnaround service. You need a partner in your business and as I continue to suggest : find the person who you connect with. The relationship really matters and with a strong relationship you get to ask for help when you need it. You will need it, everyone does.

Stephanie has created a large talent pool to get the answers she is looking for. After all she has thousands of satisfied customers who are happily selling on Ebay. So the premise is… by helping others get the answers they are looking for, you learn things (you didn’t even know you didn’t know). So the rule still holds for Stephanie: Give unto others and you get so much more back!

I brought Mark back to talk us through what really happens when you grow a business on multiple channels. And it is magical. Well that is when it goes right. And no surprise it doesn’t always go right. Mark walks us through with real numbers to help understand what can be.

Jeff and the gang at https://www.sellerlabs.com/cares/toys-for-tots/application/ (Seller Labs) have focused on a cause. It’s such a great opportunity to use our highly developed sourcing skills to help make a difference in the less fortunate of our society and it can be done in your town too. Their goal is a modest $50,000 in retail value and he asked if we can raise $10,000. This can be a great teachable moment for you to involve your family in making a difference. Just fill out this form and tell Jeff (or me) that  you heard it on the podcast and get ready to make a difference.

Rich (and Nila) have been helping others and allowing others to help him learn (just as much) how to sell on Ebay. He credits that group learning and their monthly meeting in helping them collectively grow their businesses. Would joining a meetup help you get consistency in your business?

Paul is a great example at 70%. So that’s the answer: 70%. Want to know the question? It’s funny when you think about it. We would applaud a restaurant that made it 10 years. That’s a long time in the restaurant world yet we tend to downplay a real ecommerce business that has made it for well over 10 years because they haven’t sold a million dollars yet. They have not scaled to a power player. Yet, they have built a viable skill set  and a model that is sustainable. hmm.. Seems to me they “made” it! Living on your terms has to take over the conversation. Living where you want, how you want and just being there for your family is where it needs to go.   Mentioned: Pauls email contact http://paulapollonia.com/ (Pauls website) https://vimeo.com/ondemand/sellingonebay/189452320 (Pauls Vimeo) Sponsors: http://www.amazingfreedom.com/momentum-arbitrage (Gaye’s Million Dollar Arbitrage List) http://ecommercemomentum.karenlocker.zaxaa.com/o/7525960235600/1 (Solutions4ec

I love the way this couple is so on the same page. They clearly are focused on what’s best for their family and have built their business around that. So smart. Nick also gives us a glimpse of what can be when you are consistent in your business, you build relationships. Relationships allow you to grow. Relationships allow you to pull back when you want. And relationships will allow you to move into other channels when you are ready.   Mentioned: https://www.busproofbusiness.com/p/busproof-foundations (Bus Proof Business Foundational entry level book course) (only $197.00 and they give you bonuses!)

It’s pretty cool when you think about creating a business, wait it’s really cool when you think about creating a “Successful” business and that is what Craig has done. Four years strong and Craig is humble enough to admit he doesn’t have it all figured out yet. But he has figured out what he doesn’t want to do and he out sourced that. He also has pulled back and used some of his experience and new found confidence to wade through the ever-changing, fast-paced world of Ecommerce. I love that he knows his “why” and that is what gets him to push through in the tough times.

I love when I get to look the person I am interviewing in the eye. It shows my passion for the story and brings about more candid discussion. I think we both get more comfortable. Makes sense doesn’t it? They can see my eye rolls (if I had them), they could see my smile, my real getting choked up, etc.. The connection gets better and here is a good example of it with Karen Locker.

The more I spoke with Mark, the more I realized selling an ecommerce business is really complicated. Consider where you are selling, what you are selling, how long you have been selling. how much you have been selling, your standing on the site, your feedback, your vendors, your gross profit, your net profit and even more. The real question is your ecommerce business worth anything today and even more tomorrow? Seems waiting and getting your house in order is the smart move and Mark’s advice can help you get the most value. ps.. And YES, I ask the sales tax question.

How cool is it to have met your partner for life at an eCommerce conference. That’s what happened to Staci and David (her now husband) and they are making the most of their time together. Closing down a retail store, a big move to a city designed for todays ecommerce opportunities. What is so cool to me, is they are doing it together, as one if you will.
