Small thinking and Ecommerce

The internet acts as your mirror. It reflects what you project.

If you don't allow yourself to see much when you look for opportunity online, you will likely be disappointed in your results.

When you allow yourself to look deeper and discover what is possible, you can accomplish even more than you thought.

I've found that one of the downsides of being passionate is that you run the risk of killing your credibility when someone doesn't see the same opportunities you see.

I recently had a frustrating meeting where this was the case.

It quickly became obvious, there were a million ways they do do and sell more online.

I started to get pumped.

They were well positioned and success was not that far out of reach. There were weak, niche competitors doing way more online. They could crush them if they acted swiftly.

But as I got more excited, my prospective client got more skeptical.

Our mirrors reflected different images.

He saw smoke blowing in the wind. I saw real, tangible value.

Ultimately, however, we were able to come to an agreement. That we weren't a good fit.

But I felt like I let him down but not helping him see what I saw
