385 : Tom & Catie Wortman – Taking a group approach to growing their Amazon business

Published: April 22, 2019, 3 a.m.

The group approach? Well most of the time it is Tim and Catie. But they have found working with other compounds their (all of them) efforts. They are strategic so not to interfere with the other's businesses. But as a kind of collective they learned far more, advanced far faster and have made real lasting friendships. Great lessons from a great couple.

Tim:                                       00:00:00               We've done, we do a lot of fun trips. Like we want to go to a cubs game. Um, we'll, you know, we'll head up, you know, if it's a night game, we'll leave at nine, 10 o'clock in the morning, we'll hit some stores while we're up there. And then the, you know, the days paid for. Um, we just recently did our first overnight trip. We really don't travel out more than about three hours from our home. We're not somebody that goes all around the United States. Um, but you know, if we want to go down to southern Missouri, go four wheeling, you know, we'll hit some stores down there while we're in the area just, and the trips paid for. But we were careful not to make the whole trip a working trip. At least a Katie's good about keeping me in check on that. Cause I can get, I can get going on Ra and not want to stop. But, um, it, it's, it's fun to just know that, you know, hey, we're traveling here. We can stop at this area. You know, if there's a Walmart or a Tj Maxx in. And, and hit those stores real quick. And, and, you know, pay for your trip.
