Day 50 of 50 — Lessons Learned from 25+ Years in Business Lesson: The Journey Is the Reward Fifty days. Fifty lessons. Twenty-five years. When I started this series, it was a simple goal: To reflect. To share. To pass on what I’ve learned through two and a half decades of building, leading, failing, growing, and trying again. But somewhere along the way—this became more than a series. It became a mirror. A memoir. A thank you. And a promise to keep going with humility, intention, and faith. Here’s what I know now, more than ever: •Business will stretch you, but family will ground you. •Hard times are inevitable—but so is redemption if you keep showing up. •Success is never a straight line—and it’s never done alone. •You can’t control the outcome, but you can control your effort, attitude, and how you treat others. •Legacy isn’t what you build—it’s who you build up. I’m just a guy who wakes up early, prays hard, tries to listen more than I speak, and hopes that something I’ve learned will help someone else on the path. So if you’ve read even one of these posts—thank you. If you’ve shared them, messaged me, or taken action on a lesson—thank you. If you’re still figuring things out—same here. Keep going. ⸻ The final lesson: The journey is the reward. Not the accolades. Not the titles. Not even the exits. It’s the people. The moments. The quiet choices to keep growing. And the grace to start again—one day at a time. ⸻ #LessonsFromTheJourney #Day50 #LegacyInProgress #FaithFamilyBusiness #Gratitude

In three days, Even More Than Money drops, and I finally opened my boxes of the book. Having the chance to open a box containing a book you helped write is such a special experience--this time as even more special than More Than Money. If you haven't ordered a copy, what are you waiting for? amazon.com/Even-More-Than…

We sold $200,000,000+ worth of earbuds in 3.5 years. All bootstrapped with zero funding. Here’s how we did it. 🧵

@RomanEcom @ecommercefuel I understand. My question on YouTube was related to advertising allocation of your mentees. How much are they allocating of revenue towards advertising?

@RomanEcom @ecommercefuel Thank you @RomanEcom. This conflicted with your comment on YouTube of 10%. Is the current state of E-Commerce operators mirroring your allocation as this ear bud brand?

I believe the Unit Economics of E-Commerce needs to be discussed more in the Industry. I’d love to know benchmarks related to $ Profit/Net Income per Unit Shipped and $ Contribution Margin per Unit. Anybody resources or discussions on this topic worth sharing would be appreciated!

You’re calculating the unit economics of profit per unit shipped incorrectly. Profit per unit shipped = AOV less landed COGS less shipping and ads less other variable costs less fixed costs. This is profit before tax. Note - I cannot disclose our AOV or profit per unit shipped publicly.

Profit per Unit Shipped in E-Commerce is an important benchmark in my opinion. While this metric isn’t published for Amazon — I was able to estimate Amazon’s profit per unit shipped for last year through a variety of sources. In 2023, Amazon reported in its SEC filings $30.4 Billion in Net income including E-Commerce stores, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and advertising divisions. Amazon published it had 7 billion Prime units placed in 2023 arriving the same day or next day. Note, not all Prime orders are within the same day or next day - the Company estimates 60% are same day or next day. A study from Statista found that an average Prime customers had 24 orders per year and 13 orders for non-Prime customers, which is ~65% / 35% split between Prime and Non-Prime, respectively. I am estimating the total unit count to be approximately 11.6B Prime units + 6.35B Non-Prime units for a total of 17.95B units shipped in 2023 globally. In conclusion, I estimate $1.69 in profit per unit shipped in 2023 across all divisions. Excluding the AWS segment, I estimate $.56 in profit per unit shipped for Amazon in 2023. Questions: 1. What do you think of the approach — any improvements or modifications? 2. Has anyone else done a similar analysis — if so, can you share a link? 3. What is the benchmark set for profit per unit shipped for your E-Commerce business? #ecommerce #profit #amazon #uniteconomics Sources: capitaloneshopping.com/research/amazo… ir.aboutamazon.com/news-release/n… mobiloud.com/blog/amazon-st… statista.com/statistics/806… cnbc.com/2024/04/29/ama…

Please my friends … please realize this is your one life and you must get as much out of it as possible while keeping your day to day simple as possible. Ambition and tenacity does not mean you need to compromise on a simple and calm principle that not much matters besides the health and well being of the people you love ❤️

It’s a little before 5:30a in the morning and I’m ready to go. I’m one of the first cars in the parking lot @intltrends and only one with the AMAZON plate. I am ready to check the E-Commerce performance from the prior day and hit the ground running. Let’s go! 🚀

In 1998, I signed my first contract with a landlord, who owned over a dozen properties. I was 15 years old when I inked the deal. I generated over $1,000/mo taking care of properties in downtown Indianapolis during my high school years. Enough money to buy a truck before I had my drivers license. I received an image from that landlord of my pickup truck he captured a picture from that era the other day that he found in an old box. You never know the impact and impression you make on someone when you bring hustle to the game! #highschoolhustle #entrepreneurship #HistoryMatters

Stop giving front row seats to the hecklers. Not everyone deserves that access to your game. People who laugh at your ambitions. Who tell you to be realistic. They can sit in the nosebleeds. The front row is for real ones. People who inspire you to think bigger. Remember that.
