Your leadership skills are the throttle. Only do the things that ONLY YOU can do Follow PROFITS not PASSIONS if you want to survive   Stick around for a couple minutes at the end of the episode to hear an update about the kind of low cost insurance you should have as an ecommerce/Amazon/Walmart seller!
