Brand owners sell their businesses for different reasons.

I’ve sold a really profitable business because it was becoming too stressful to handle. My partner, Dave Bryant, didn’t consider himself a “real” entrepreneur if he hasn’t sold a business yet.

Join us on a public webinar this October 5 at 10 AM (PST) to prepare for the next chapter. Avoid finding yourself in a more stressful negotiation just to end up with less money.

To Greater Things

We’ve been in ecommerce for a while now. We’ve created brands from scratch, grew existing ones, and even sold a few.

This allowed us to live a fairly comfortable life. But during those years of watching our brands grow 5x and even 10x, we still felt this longing for something much more fulfilling. We wanted to connect more with other entrepreneurs and to help make ecommerce easier for them.

This desire for something greater is why we started EcomCrew Premium.

Through Premium, we provide

• One-on-one email support to all our members
• 7 full-length ecommerce courses (and counting)
• Exclusive monthly Secret Sauce webinars, where we invite guest experts
• Monthly Premium Q&A, where our members get to ask their ecommerce questions live

Happy selling,
