Progression Cures Depression? Insights From Lior Pozin
4 minutes read
Where do you want to go with dropshipping? Do you dream big? That’s a good start. However, building a business from scratch and growing it is what many people dream of, and it is not easy.
At this point, we ask ourselves: What do I need to succeed in the competitive e-commerce landscape? How do I differentiate my brand?
What better way to resolve these doubts than by learning from others who have walked this path before us? By understanding what successful entrepreneurs we admire have done, the challenges they faced, and how they overcame them, we can gain valuable lessons to apply on our journey.
This interview allows us to learn a bit more about Lior Pozin, who is, among other things, the CEO and co-founder of AutoDS. In a conversation with Scott Hilse, a well-known figure in e-commerce, Lior discussed his journey to establish his company, which now is an industry leader with over 150 employees, as a game-changer in dropshipping by age 29.
Many years before AutoDS became an idea, Lior’s mind clicked when he discovered that dropshipping could help him achieve his goals.
“I said okay, how can I get there? How can I become better? Why can this guy do that, and I can’t? That was the motivation for me.” — Lior Pozin
With that determination, Lior, coming from a family with limited financial resources and no business experience, moved step by step, understanding the background of digital commerce to combine that knowledge with his creativity later.
In the interview with Scott, Lior highlights that AutoDS was programmed almost entirely by himself as a response to his needs. It addresses the questions we must ask ourselves to progress: ‘How can I make this more efficient? If I lose money or time in a process, what strategy can I use to optimize that process?’
Today, AutoDS is one of the top players in dropshipping because it offers a comprehensive solution to make our time more productive. This is crucial for several reasons. If we are beginners, we likely do not have a surplus of money to cover our daily expenses while venturing into a new trade, and this is why most dropshipping businesses start as a side hustle that requires us to maximize our limited hours.
Additionally, we need time to live, share, and enjoy. These topics are also discussed in this conversation between Scott and Lior. For Lior, being as productive as possible during his working hours is a rule so that he can sleep the eight hours he needs to maintain his health, engage in sports, practice yoga, travel, and have dinner and share time with his fiancée.
“Our business, in general, is consistent research on how we can solve problems.” — Lior Pozin
Whether you are just starting your business or have been an entrepreneur for a while, this conversation can shed some light on your path and clear up doubts about overcoming the challenges of running a business. If you desire progress, we already speak the same language as Scott says in this interview.
“Progression cures depression.” — Scott Hilse
