Hello! Who are you and what are you working on?

Hi, my name is Wes O’Donnell and I run several eCommerce businesses. I am a professor of marketing, a keynote speaker, a military veteran and a business coach.

I am also the author of A Cowboy Without a Coat: How a Texas Exile Learned to Love Michigan and RISE: The Veteran’s Field Manual For Starting Your Own Business and Conquering the Online Economy.

My first and perhaps most successful eCommerce business is Modern Workspace. In my book RISE, I break down how I started Modern Workspace step by step and how much it cost me along the way.

Originally, we sold full-sized medical carts. In 2015 we transitioned into compact or small computer desks and today we have added a somewhat controversial product; bulletproof backpacks.

I have run "normal" businesses, but I have had the most success in eCommerce. Beyond dropshipping at Modern Workspace, I have also made money from a niche directory site Sorry, you need to login and/or become a member to view the rest of this content.
