E-Commerce I talk with Chloe Thomas about choosing where to focus your time and attention. This is a business e-commerce episode, 158. Welcome to the business of eCommerce the show that helps e-commerce retailers start launch and grow your eCommerce business. I'm your host, Charles Palleschi and I'm here today with Chloe Thomas. Chloe is an author and the host of the eCommerce Masterplan Podcast, where they provide online training, advice and information for growing e-commerce businesses on the show. Me and Chloe go really deep into the topic of mindset and specifically choosing where to focus your time and attention and how to focus that attention. I think this is super helpful for anyone, and this is a big topic that I think this is often overlooked and it's really one of those things. If you get this right, it doesn't just have linear effects, but it also kind of multiplies and it, it can really move the needle. So super interesting interview is a bunch of book recommendations that I definitely think you should check out and I'll drop those all in the show notes. So let's get right into the interview. So, Hey Chloe, how are you doing today? Chloe (01:14): I'm good. Charles, so it was great to be here getting to talk to you about all things e-com Charles (01:19): Yeah. I love having also another podcast or on the show. You are the whole, you're an author, right? But also the host of the e-commerce master plan. Chloe (01:29): I am, yeah, yeah. Hosted the e-commerce most fun podcast, which is a we're in a few retailers and of the keep optimizing podcast where we focus on a different marketing method each month with mainly supplier side guests and experts. So, so yeah. Podcasting seems to take up a huge amount of my time these days. Charles (01:47): Yep. Nice. I like, yes. Well kind of we were talking earlier before the show two ideas and I mentioned kind of the whole going into the mindset and every once in a while, I, I love talking to someone about this exact topic just on, I feel like it's, it's like a force multiplier, right? Like you can talk all you want about like Facebook ads and like that works. But like, if you want to make any sort of large shift, it always comes to changing just like a complete mindset change, a direction change. And the easiest way to do that is changing your mindset about what direction you should be moving. Do you agree? Or, Chloe (02:22): Yeah, I think it it's. I mean, I've been been helping people solve their marketing problems in e-commerce and their e-commerce problems in general for about 15, 16, 17 years now. And there's kind of two questions that everything I ever get asked, get boils down to, and one is Chloe, what should I be doing? And the other one is glowy is what I'm doing, what I should be doing, because I think it's, there's so much we could be doing success comes from focusing in on the right things. And unless you've got your head in the right space, you know, you know what you're trying to achieve in your life for your business, you know what your strengths are, your weaknesses on you, what your head in the right place, unless you've got all those things in place, you can't make good decisions about what you should be focusing your time and effort on. Chloe (03:09): And it's, it's very easy to spend, you know, an I,
