In this episode, Tony and I dive into how to make your business run leaner by auditing your expenses and cutting out the fat. From hidden subscriptions to inefficient workflows, we'll show you what we're doing to plug the leaks. But before we begin, I wanted to let you know that tickets are now on sale for Seller Summit 2025 over at sellersummit.com and the prices are now going to go up every two weeks. 00:29 until the event starts. The Seller Summit is the conference that I hold every year that specifically targets e-commerce entrepreneurs selling physical products online. Unlike other events that focus on inspirational stories and high-level advice, mine is a curriculum-based conference where you will leave with practical and actionable strategies specifically for an e-commerce business. Every speaker I invite is deep in the trenches of their e-commerce business, entrepreneurs who are importing large quantities of physical goods, 00:57 and not some high-level guys who are overseeing their companies at 50,000 feet. I personally hate large events, so the seller's summit is always small and intimate. Every year we cut off ticket sales at around 200 people, so tickets sell out fast, and we've sold out every single year for the past eight years. If you are an e-commerce entrepreneur making more than $250,000 or $1 million per year, we also offer an exclusive mastermind experience with other top sellers. 01:25 The Seller's Summit is going to be held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from May 6th to May 8th. Right now, this is the cheapest the tickets will ever be. So head on over to sellersummit.com and grab your ticket. Now onto the show. 01:44 Welcome to the MyWifeQuitterJob podcast. Today's episode has been inspired by doge, not in the political aspect, but doging the stuff that I work on right now, like cutting off the fat and really becoming a more efficient business. I feel like you are one of the most efficient businesses I know, so I can't even imagine what you could cut. 02:12 You know what's funny is there's always junk behind the scenes that nobody knows about. Yeah. Right. I think I mentioned this to you last week. Bumblebee Linens has been running on software that is dated 2012 or 13 or something like that. And that software is not supported anymore. And the tools that allow me to run it aren't supporting more. So if this one PC dies in the office, then we can't create our monogram designs. 02:42 The whole business will collapse. I guess that's not considered doge, but there's all these subscriptions also that I had been signed up for. And you know how much I hate subscriptions. It's because of this. It gets out of hand, right? You forget about them. Well, here's here's the thing like this this one precious computer. I feel like we should steal the Declaration of Independence. This computer is like the holy grail of your entire business. I think that anything where 03:10 When you think about how to doze your business, we'll just say anything where it's like, have to fix this, we have to get rid of it, In this episode, we’re breaking down how to apply "Doge-like" principles to improve your business practices and boost your productivity. - The economic climate is shifting and now's the time to trim back the fat. - What You'll Learn - In this episode, we’re breaking down how to apply "Doge-like" principles to improve your business practices and boost your productivity.<br /> <br /> The economic climate is shifting and now's the time to trim back the fat.
