Today's episode is a pre-recorded episode. At the time of this podcast, Dave and I are attending Global Sources. These pre-recorded episodes are a great opportunity to interview some highly successful ecom business owners. My guest today is one of those highly successful ecommerce entrepreneurs.
Dana Jaunzemis is the owner of Homehealthtesting.com. She purchased the business at a time when she saw the potential for profitability. That eye for good business decisions seems to be Dana's superpower. This is her seventh business she has purchased and she has owned it for seven years. On today's episode, Dana tells me what draws her to ecommerce and why she feels she is so well suited for it. Dana has some great insights into ecommerce business. Tune for some solid advice from this awesome entrepreneur!
Here are some of the points of our conversation:
- Why Dana likes ecommerce so much.

- What Dana looks for in a business opportunity.
- What caused her to shift her perspective on her business.
- Why a company should have a "comfort zone."

- Why Dana likes the business to business model.
- Problems a large amount of overhead can cause a business.
- Dana's top 3 skills set.
