So many of us do not realize that when we’re selling in the e-commerce space, we’re running a business. We describe ourselves like “I’m an Amazon seller.” But that’s not accurate. You should be saying: “I’m a business owner.” The moment you decide to sell a product, service, or anything else to anyone, you’re a business owner, and you must act like it. Many things in a new business are neglected early on including: a business plan, an employee handbook, business registration, management training, communication techniques, safety procedures, diversification of your product line, and insurance. A lot of people also forget they’re human beings that need rest and time away from the business. Work/life balance is a critical aspect to the business itself.

In this seminar, Mike will talk about several issues, including: The things you need to get your business off on the right foot, how to hire, manage, and provide a comfortable work environment for employees onsite or virtually, how to stop talking and listen to your business heartbeat, how to have a good work/life balance that promotes growth, and how to know if you are doing it right or doing it wrong.
