Over the last year, I’ve seen a lot of businesses come up for sale, in fact I’ve been approached a number of times by brand owners wanting me to buy their business from them, and I did actually buy two of them within the last 6-7 months.
That’s super exciting, but it’s also been a really eye opening experience about how vastly different many eCommerce brands are set up and run and the difference in viability and attractiveness they present to a potential buyer like myself.
I would actually say that most of the eCommerce businesses I’ve seen up for sale in the last year or two are being sold off very cheaply because the business owner has just run out of puff. They’re super burnt out and just over it.
Now I’m not going to sit here and try to unpack the psychology of why so many entrepreneurs don’t progress their business in a way that enables them to grow with a team and systems to operate without themselves needing to do all the work.
Instead, today’s episode is going to be about what you really need to have in place in your business in order to scale and grow sustainably – and by sustainably I mean both in terms of financially viable and profitable, but also in terms of your own physical exertion so that you don’t burn out or drive yourself into the ground.
