We've been talking quite a lot about the stress that comes with running an ecommerce business. In fact, in our last episode I talked to Dr. Sherry Walling, an experienced psychologist, about how entrepreneurship can be an addiction and how this can lead to stress and that experiencing that feeling of loneliness. This episode is a follow-up to Episode 192, where Dave and I discuss our stress points in running an ecommerce business. We got so many comments about it that I thought it best to come up with a follow-up. So, here we are. In this episode, I read some of the best comments we got from our listeners - what stresses them out and how do they cope with it. Listen all the way through to the end. I'm sure you'll relate to many of the dilemmas mentioned and can learn from the de-stressing techniques these listeners have shared.
