In this episode, Yoni Kozminski digs into the importance of processes and systems in a business's development and when it's the right time to start preparing them. He explains why processes are a key element for every business, but specifically an e-commerce or Amazon business that potentially you want to sell. Pay close attention to Yoni's insights about the aggregator space and how you could still take advantage if you're building your business properly. Listen and enjoy!

Yoni has spent a decade in digital marketing & creative advertising globally including places like Australia (origin), Los Angeles, and Tel Aviv developing digital strategies for the likes of Mercedez- Benz, Mastercard, Sony, Medtronic, and many 8-figure eCommerce brands.
