From Property Deals to Online Sales: Why Business Challenges Feel the Same

When I started in property, I thought the biggest hurdle would be finding the right buildings. But the truth? The real challenge was managing the unknowns, financing, unreliable contractors, and surprises that could eat into profit margins overnight.

Funny thing is, when I later explored e-commerce, I realized the challenges felt strangely familiar. Instead of lenders, you deal with payment providers. Instead of contractors, you rely on suppliers. Instead of hidden renovation costs, you face hidden shipping fees or returns.

In both worlds, success isn’t about avoiding problem, it’s about building systems that turn setbacks into lessons.

Property taught me resilience and creative problem-solving. E-commerce sharpened my skills in scaling and adaptability. Together, they showed me that wealth creation isn’t about luck, it’s about learning how to handle challenges better than most people are willing to.

Have you noticed the similarities between property and e-commerce?
Which lessons from one business do you think could make you stronger in the other?
If you had to choose, would you rather build wealth with bricks or clicks?

Curious to hear your thoughts.
