Once again, flying solo, I am talking about what I have learned since starting my first eCommerce business and my biggest regrets along the way.

Listen in as I talk about my 7 biggest eCommerce regrets and what you can do to avoid these in your own business. From finally switching from Magento, to learning to rely on testing and data for changes on my site, I am sharing just some of the things that I will be doing differently in the future.

Post by Andrew Youderian
Founder and Chief Instigator, eComFuel
Andrew quit an early finance job to sell CB radios online — an admittedly unorthodox career path. It set him on a course to found and sell multiple businesses, host a decade-running podcast, lecture at Harvard Business School and create eComFuel, the leading community for 7- and 8-figure online business owners. Andrew is fascinated with branding, AI, building community, investing and growing meaningful businesses that don't require sacrificing what truly matters.
