Ep. 36 – The Best (And Hardest) Time to Run an eCommerce Store

SHOWNOTES

It’s okay not to be okay.

This goes not just for consumers but also for business owners. eCommerce is booming, but it’s also becoming increasingly difficult to run an online store. Now more than ever, your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of taking time for yourself, sharing some personal anecdotes on mental health issues and stress management. We also share tips and tricks so that you can keep being your best self. Learn to manage your business instead of letting it manage you.
