The Ecomcrew Ecommerce Podcast Episode 79: Mike's Alaskan Adventure
On today’s episode I want to tell you about the awesome time I had up in Alaska and just take a moment to really stress the importance of vacation time. My family and I went up to the Kesugi Ridge Trail and hiked 32 miles over the course of four days.
During my time away there were some issues with the business, but I have built a self-sufficient team, so I was still able to enjoy my trip. Hiking that trail showed me some parallels to running an e-commerce business. If you are interested in seeing some of the sights, then there is a link below to a video I took on the hike.
Here are today’s topics:
- My hike on the Kesugi Ridge Trail.
- Why entrepreneurs need to take vacations from time to time.
- The benefits of going somewhere without internet service.
- How my team handled some business crises while I was gone.
- Why building a good team is important for your business.
- My future plans to hike in Hawaii.
I would like to remind our listeners that I am still looking for a Director of Ecommerce. Episode 74 of the podcast outlines what I am looking for in that position. If you know somebody, or if you are that somebody, please email me at mike@terran.com.
Also, I will be speaking at some events this year,
- Ecommerce All Stars -- Austin, TX, August 4-5.
- Global Sources -- Hong Kong, October 17-19.
- EcommerceFuel Live -- Laguna Beach, CA, January 11-13, 2018.
