Summary
Note: Our "leadership series" is out of order. To hear the first episode to this series, please listen to episode #524: You are on a business leadership journey. Here's help.
Over the past 20 years I've sold tens of millions worth of products services and training. More importantly, our team has helped thousands of people launch and grow their online businesses. Over all that time and experience, I've learned many valuable lessons about leadership and how to navigate the strange and often unstable landscape of E-commerce as a business leader. There are some universal challenges in this arena that all business building warriors must face ESPECIALLY if you are trying to lead "online". Today I talk about some timeless lessons that will help you serve better and earn more while building a better team.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior, it's Jim coming at you with an episode of silent sales |
| 0:07.0 | machine radio that's all about earning more money by serving your customers better by being |
| 0:13.6 | a better leader. That's right, we're going to talk about leadership today. I put a post in our |
| 0:20.8 | Facebook group not too long ago asking the members of our 70,000 plus member group. You can join at silentjim.com, by the way, if you're not in there yet. It's e-commerce warriors from all over the world hanging out, helping each other out all day every day, primarily using Amazon, but we're into all kinds of creative things in this group. |
| 0:43.4 | And I asked them if they were interested in hearing some of the leadership lessons that I've |
| 0:48.7 | learned over 20 years of e-commerce growth, having sold tens of millions of dollars of products and services |
| 0:56.3 | and grown a team. Currently, our team is a little over 100 people, and a lot of it's virtual. |
| 1:02.4 | And there's a lot of great leadership books out there that you can read, and I'm not claiming |
| 1:07.1 | to be smarter or wiser or better than any of those books, but I just don't see a lot of |
| 1:11.6 | books out there about how to lead in the virtual arena that we find ourselves in, where a lot, |

| 1:23.2 | countries, people maybe you've never seen in person and they're hardworking members of your |
| 1:28.3 | team. What's it like to lead in that environment? What kind of challenges do you face? So with that |
| 1:34.4 | unique perspective as the foundation for today's conversation, let's dive into the topic that I |
| 1:41.3 | have for us today. Now, if no one's told you this yet, this is true. |
| 1:47.6 | You may have heard me say it on other podcast episodes. |
| 1:49.8 | If you've listened for a while, I'm not the guy that came up with this. |
| 1:52.7 | A lot of famous business leaders would say something along these lines. |
| 1:56.8 | But building a business is a leadership journey. If you're in denial of that, you've just put a cap on what your |
| 2:05.8 | business can and will be, and you've also decided that it's probably not going to last very long. |
| 2:12.2 | You're going to get burnout. You're going to run out of energy. You're going to feel isolated, |
