Key takeaways
When faced with significant life changes (e.g., relocation), proactively assess how your current business model needs to evolve rather than trying to force old strategies into a new context.
Diversify your selling channels by actively exploring and establishing a presence on multiple online platforms beyond just one marketplace to mitigate risk and expand reach.
Embrace an entrepreneurial mindset that prioritizes adaptability and continuous learning; success often comes from the willingness to step outside your comfort zone and experiment with new approaches.
Strategically evaluate different online marketplaces and DTC options to determine which best align with your products and target audience, then build a robust platform strategy.
Utilize online resources, communities, and training programs (like the Proven Amazon Course) to accelerate your learning and gain insights into successful multi-platform selling tactics.
