I buy & operate DTC brands (@rayconglobal, @linjerco etc). I bootstrapped myself to 9 figures of revenue profitably.

We will buy close to $30,000,000 worth of goods from China this year with an average of 85 day payment terms blended.

These are 9 frequent mistakes I see founders make when sourcing from China 🧵

@stevenborrelli @codyplof Damn it's like the D2C Avengers gathering in Hong Kong

@jordanmenard Sad that this is the case

@Lionelaggou @stevenborrelli When I host my event in April (15-19) 🤣

[Roman Khan @RomanEcom]

@mikebeckhamsm Yup

[Roman Khan @RomanEcom]

@9operators @mikebeckhamsm 😅😂

@ecom_juan @DanielDoor8 @Sumohax0r Yes but you have to do something of meaningful size in the world of AI. Otherwise you're better off incubating

[Roman Khan @RomanEcom]

The eCom industry has such an incredible pool of hardworking talent working on really small outcomes

It’s remarkable

[Roman Khan @RomanEcom]

@realamitrg Yeah. I’ve had so many moments like that with my mentors.

I wanna make a list of them

My conversation with @RomanEcom is live.
Negative 3 million at 32. Eight figures+ in distributions by 40.
A masterclass on D2C, supply chain (he'll save you money and fix your cash flow), and a genuinely unique take on micromanaging.
One of my favorite episodes to date!

[Roman Khan @RomanEcom]

If you struggle to convince someone you work with on a strategic shift / pivot:

Get an outsider to tell them the exact same thing as you.

In 9 out of 10 cases this helps me get my way.

@DanielDoor8 @Sumohax0r AI (run ads for established players), finance, PE, big incumbent brands etc

Just where you get proper financial leverage ratios for your experience and skills

[Roman Khan @RomanEcom]

@Sumohax0r You are like the poster child for this.
140 IQ points.

Weighted average revenue and enterprise value against each IQ point is way below where it should be.

@stevenborrelli 15 to the 19th of April.
In Hong Kong.
Make sure to line it up with visiting the Canton Fair shortly after or before.

Look up the dates for Canton Fair and which faces are interesting to you.
