It’s fair to say that when entrepreneurs set out to go into business for themselves, the end goal is to grow it to seven figures and beyond and earn huge profits. It’s also fair to say that when entrepreneurs reach this level of success, they want to be able to enjoy it. Sure, running a business comes with many stressors, but some factors can alleviate the pressures associated with growing a business.

The first step to lessen stress, according to entrepreneur and business leader Yoni Kozminski, is to simply get out of your own way. So, what does that mean, and how do you get out of your own way? You start by creating or purchasing a reliable operational system.

In this enlightening episode of the eComm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley sits down with Yoni Kozminski, the Founder of South Col, Escala, and MultiplyMii, to discuss business operating systems and organizational structures that can help entrepreneurs scale to eight figures and beyond. Yoni explains how to build operating systems, the four core processes for a $20 million Amazon FBA Business, and the steps to take to become a successful entrepreneur.

Hey, well, you come with a wealth of knowledge and experience that I know our listeners are going to be extremely excited to learn from you. again today. We talked briefly before we hit the record button. Today we’re going to be sharing, you know, and kind of lifted up the hood so to speak, and really digging deep to understand what is the best organizational structure look like for an Amazon FBA business or just ecommerce in general, that allows people to continue to scale. And Yoni I went to Brandon Young’s a camp e-comm event earlier this year. And that was the biggest question that people kept asking is like, Brandon, what does your team look like? How did you go from, you know, how did you get to 20 million last year in revenue? Like, tell me what is your team look like? That’s allowed you to scale your business that fast. And so being able to, you know, have somebody like yourself that’s consulted for multiple businesses, and being able to pull back the curtains and say, Hey, this is kind of what the best operating system and organizational chart looks like. So Yoni, why don’t you give us a quick background? About You know, how you got started? What led you to where you are today with MultiplyMii, Escala, and South Col?
