The Importance of Self-Awareness – Life Lessons for Entrepreneurs – 231

The one thing that might be most helpful to every entrepreneur is sometimes the most difficult to learn. It’s not something that you can understand by working longer hours, sleeping less, or assuming more responsibility. 

If anything, it might help if the entrepreneur makes a point of working less, sleeping more and learns to delegate. 

Today on the AM/PM Podcast, Tim Jordan welcomes someone who made his way through many different e-commerce selling channels before finding his sweet spot, representing other brands. 

Nick Shucet is the CEO and Founder of Romans Tide, a full-service, results-driven Amazon Brand Management Agency dedicated to helping brands maximize their sales potential in the Amazon marketplace.

Nick says that it was after falling asleep at the wheel on the way home from an unloved job, that he decided that he needed to change course. He says that understanding the value of failures fueled his rise in e-commerce and allowed him to grow as a businessman AND a human being. 

Later, after finding himself in a position to scale up, it was a solid set of standard operating procedures that helped create a solid foundation for growth. 

Nick says that success quickly followed his better understanding of the value of self-awareness. 

After that, it was smooth sailing.
