Building a Bigger E-Commerce Pizza with Tim Jordan

Who doesn’t love to imagine a scenario
where a couple hours a day is enough to say goodbye to the job and the
nine-to-five grind? Should the Lamborghini be lime green or an understated
silver?

As most of you out there in
e-commerce know, it doesn’t work like that. With your sleeves rolled up, you
might have been up half the night dealing with sourcing issues or customer concerns.
One thing is true; entrepreneurship isn’t for the faint of heart.

Today on the AM/PM Podcast, Tim Jordan takes us on a journey from his early days in e-commerce to his time as a fireman and EMT working in field hospitals in Haiti. Along the way, he explains why self-care is such an important issue for those in the e-commerce space and encourages entrepreneurs to make sure not to equate profit with self-worth.

Tim’s not talking about keywords
today; he’s talking about taking care of yourself and working hard. When you do
that, it seems like good things often follow.
