After a decade of running brick and mortar businesses...I wanted to share with you 3 reasons why brick and mortar sucks and why I'm shifting my focus away from them. 

I've thought long and hard for the past couple months. I've even made some videos in the past about my fascination with Ecommerce. And for a decade people have been talking about the death of brick and mortar businesses and the rise of ecommerce. The whole e-commerce vs. brick and mortar conversation began. 

When I look at my 7 figure brick and mortar business, I can't help but see how the business type pales in comparison with ecommerce businesses. High rent, high labour costs, and so many problems arise in a brick and mortar business. Whereas, an e-commerce business has higher returns, low rent, can scale easier, and does not need hire a large staff. For us, we hire over 100 employees. You can imagine the work required. There are just so many advantages of ecommerce to brick and mortar businesses. 

For this reason, I've decided to shift my focus onto ecommerce and quietly building a new brand in that space. 

In this video, I dive a bit deeper on my decision to start an ecommerce, the e-commerce vs. brick and mortar business or ecommerce vs. traditional commerce conversation, and the advantages of an ecommerce business.
