Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Emilio Johann, a business consultant based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA.

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

I predominantly work with eCommerce and online marketing. I like to work with eCommerce companies and brands selling products online that are either starting or that need help scaling their business.

Tell us about yourself

I have been an entrepreneur all my life. Even though I used to do entrepreneurial things as a young boy, it has been 14+ years since I officially started my online business. I feel the drive to help others achieve success with what I do.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Running a business is NOT easy. It has been incredibly rewarding to be able to help myself and my family with the work I do for over 14+ years.

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

I believe that working with other people is one of the hardest things a business owner can do—both employees or contractors and clients.

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

  1. LOVE what you do. Pursuing things with money as the main drive will eventually collapse everything you build.
  2. Be consistent in what you do: anyone can do X, but only the best can do X for a long time!
  3. I think it is vital to treat people with RESPECT: nothing else will take you further!
