Episode 11: Ego @ Jon Dot Com

Get ready for the execution: execution of the fundamentals, that is. You want to succeed as a brand? 2 things.

One, build a solid foundation and two, make decisions as quickly as possible with enough data. Yeah, it's really that simple.

About our guest:

My name is Jon Tilley, and I am an entrepreneur. I am also a realist. I like to be optimistic and work towards my goals, but I'm not naive about the obstacles that stand in my way.

Before starting my own business,I spent 15 years working as an account director & strategist for some of the top digital agencies in Johannesburg, London, and Los Angeles. Then, I began my entrepreneurial journey in 2014 when I launched multiple private label brands on Amazon--all successfully. Inspired by this success and the new flexible, restriction-free, and limitless lifestyle that came with it, I co-founded ZonGuru, an Amazon FBA tool suite to help more sellers achieve the same.

ZonGuru gives sellers easy-to-use tools to perform product research, listing optimization, and monitor business metrics. With its easy-to-use interface and robust, accurate data, ZonGuru brings customers the most in-depth analysis possible to help stay on top of business trends. My vision is to become successful and happy with myself and those around me.

But this is only possible with the support of others who believe in me. My plan is to keep momentum by making decisions and staying focused on what's important because, as the saying goes, “life is meaningless until you give it meaning."
