Depends on who it is

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

More than once, I’ve sensed the notion from some relatives, friends and acquaintances that when you’re an online / e-commerce store, you won’t be taken seriously. That you’re just doing it as a side job, a hobby, a part-timer, so on and so forth.

You will only receive validation when you have a brick & mortar storefront.

Or if your e-commerce name is amazon dot com.

I don’t understand this type of sentiment. It makes me sad that some friends and even relatives have these kind of attitude, even if subconsciously.
