    Financial/business planning and analysis is important and has its place, but for a small ecommerce business starting out I don't think it should be a priority. The problem I feel is that if you get too bogged down in the numbers and end up with paralysis by analysis you will never start and the opportunity will be lost.

    Please clarify, thank you 🙏

    • @praveendheergasi2734
      @praveendheergasi2734 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      i didnt watch the video yet but, i think he means that when you're selling anything online most people will have trouble with scalability. scalability often refers to increasing. for example, increasing sales, profit, etc.

    How do you find a competitors market share without seeing financials? I never understand how small biz owners are expected to obtain this information if it's it's a private company? One can guess based on perception but what is the point if it's not accurate?

Then what Course on Coursera would they also teach me the guidance for running an online store and business if anyone is also looking for answers to the questions?

      Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out! Shopify is available to use in Europe the same as it is in the USA. As far as starting a business in Europe compared to the USA, we are not equipped to answer that, and it would be best to do some research into this. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

      Hey, Gitajali! Great to hear that you're thinking of starting an ecommerce business!
      Ultimately, what you sell will be up to you as every entrepreneur has their own journey with building and growing their own business. It's a good idea though, to sell something that you're passionate about so that it'll make it easier for you to market your products.
      In saying this, you can check out our Shopify blog here: bit.ly/3DvPtUR, for some product ideas. Once you have an idea, you can follow the guide within this TH-cam video to start laying the foundation for your business!

    let's use the principle of e-commerce in physical stores
    I explain:
    every store in the world is 1.0
    in this store, products almost never change
    and the owner chose the products
    it is boring
    now, there must be a new store 2.0
    in this store, products always change
    and people choose the products there will be via an app
    on the app, there is a huge catalog, people choose the products that will show up in the store
    the store is constantly being supplied with the products people choose
