Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business consulting and services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jason Shepherd, Co-Founder of Elevated Commerce, located in Portland, OR, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Elevated Commerce is a consultancy working with eCommerce businesses to find the core elements that give them staying power and build eCommerce marketing programs that engage their customers.

Tell us about yourself

Marketing is where business meets people, and I find aligning the two a challenge worth taking on. The fast-paced nature of eCommerce keeps me on my toes.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

There was an instance where we built a program for a fitness company to bring customer voices into their social media. After the first customer did their thing, the CEO saw it and immediately texted me, "I want 1000 of these!" Those type of things is always the most memorable.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Time management is hard for a business owner. Things move really fast in eCommerce, and you often get excited and want to do everything. But time is not unlimited, and getting sidetracked is easy to do.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Know what you are good at. Know what you are not good at. And know exactly why your customers want to pay for your product or service.

Where can people find you and your business?
