In 2019, My eCommerce Company Ranked #254 On The Inc 5000 List
Thanks for taking a moment to learn more about me and my blog. I’m honored to have you here.
Before I tell you about what my blog will do for you, I want to make sure you understand how I make decisions about my business(es) so that you can determine if I’m the right guy for you to learn from.
The goal of my online business(es) has never been only to maximize my income. Instead, my goal has always been to maximize my income without negatively impacting my family life, my integrity, or my lifestyle.
If my goal resonates with you, then you are in the right place.
I have been an entrepreneur since 2001 and have started 4 businesses.
Despite all this business experience, I want to be the first one to tell you that I don’t have all the answers. That is why I interview other entrepreneurs on my podcast. You (and I) can learn a lot from them and I encourage you to do exactly that.
I’d also like you to know that as of today, this blog, while profitable, is not my primary source of income.
Unlike many “gurus” that can only earn money online by teaching people how to make money online, I actually earn my living running my software company and investing in real estate.
Here on Bright Ideas, you will find hundreds of podcast interviews with other entrepreneurs, plus a wide variety of other helpful articles and videos.
All will have one theme in common – how to build an online business.
When it comes to creating the lifestyle of your dreams, I believe that an online business is THE way to go.
Whenever I produce a new episode of my podcast, my primary goal is to get my guest to share as many “golden nuggets” as possible (a golden nugget is an idea that you can implement in your business today).
Over the years that I have been producing my podcast, I have interviewed a large number of very smart folks, so I strongly encourage you to have a look through the archives. If you take the time to comb through some of my older episodes, I promise you that you’ll uncover some pretty awesome stuff!
For the first 198 episodes of my podcast, I focused on interviewing B2B marketing professionals and market agency owners, largely because I was one of them and I thoroughly enjoyed talking about content marketing with my peers.
These days the guests on my show are all entrepreneurs that come from a wide range of backgrounds and business models – and eCommerce is the primary focus.
