Firing The Man Why did Ken Sponsor a Semi-Pro Poker Player?
Episode 72
Have you heard about dropshipping? This business model looks attractive as a passive income stream because you don’t need an inventory to start selling products. You only need a platform to accept orders and forward them to the manufacturers. Ken tried it, alongside sponsoring a semi-pro Poker player, and failed. The silver lining of these failures, though, is that it brought Ken and I together. No one knows if we’ll be here sharing our e-commerce experiences had Ken not encountered the dropshipping model.
Listen to this episode and learn from Ken’s experience as a dropshipping owner!
