I'm excited to have Tyler Jorgenson on today's episode of Firebuilders LIVE! He is going to TEACH YOU this → The first steps to starting an ecom business and creating a solid foundation succeed. CEO, professional speaker, radio talk show host and contributor to places like Entrepreneur, MSN and ABC News, Tyler Jorgenson sees the future...and that future is ecommerce. Through sweat, tears and persistence, Tyler has earned his way to the top of just about every chart. Pulling off super-human feats like building and launching 176 new shopify stores in 9 months -- that is a new store every 1.5 days -- If the work teaches you the work, Tyler has become a true master of his craft. But for him, it's not simply about money. It's about consciously creating a life that he loved and opportunities to be present with his kids. And it hasn't always been easy. In 2010 with a 4th child on the way and negative $17,000 in his bank account, Tyler focused his sights, buckled down and began to learn the important lessons the hard way. Tune in TODAY at 12pm EST and listen to Tyler's advice. Having built over 200 ecommerce stores and sourced products from hundreds of suppliers, he's been a part of some magnificent launches, as well as some colossal flops, and will lay out the secrets for getting you off the ground and into flight!
