#846: Some of the biggest takeaways for attendees at TheProvenConference.com 2024

During our recent live event in Orlando, Florida (The Proven Conference), we had dozens of amazing breakout sessions. One of the sessions was an introduction to the content that is coming soon regarding our unique strategies for success selling on Walmart.com. We are seeing tremendous results among many of the great Amazon selling leaders and students on our team as they begin to integrate Walmart into their online selling strategy.   We remain increasingly excited about Amazon simply because of the sheer volume of transactions that happen every day (about 50% of all ecommerce!), but Walmart is growing quite rapidly, even though Walmart is still considerably smaller than Amazon. The new opportunities presented by Walmart are the main topic of today’s mini episode.   Joseph Kelsey - a great coach on our team is basically finishing up the details of our new Walmart seller training course, and we will have it available for you soon~ Please visit this page in order to be kept up-to-date on all of the coming offers from our leadership team: SilentJim.com/comingsoon   NOTE: If you are a student of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course or if you are a coaching student, you will receive an extreme discount on any new content that we produce.   Enjoy this short overview discussion of why we are so excited about Walmart! https://provenamazoncourse.com/walmart   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/jqqePswyM0c     Show note LINKS:       SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim’s latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   SilentJim.com/bookacall - book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   Proven Amazon Course -  https://ProvenAmazonCourse.com  Are you ready to be successful selling on Amazon?

#843: Multiple tips for getting to seven figures as a business building warrior

Today's episode will inspire you to keep going in the midst of difficulty. Two of our coaches and directors of our JimCockrumCoaching.com program tell it like it is in business and what to do to keep going. Listen to the Olson's behind the scenes back story!    "Houston, we have a problem..." On April 13, 1970, Jack Swigert’s famous words marked a pivotal moment in the Apollo 13 mission, where an explosion turned a moon landing into a desperate fight for survival. The astronauts, with the ingenuity and determination of their ground team, used the Lunar Module as an improvised lifeboat, overcoming critical issues with limited resources. This story mirrors Brian Olson's journey in the Amazon business world, where persistence and innovative problem-solving turned early failures into remarkable success. Inspired by his unwavering commitment, Brian emphasizes the importance of setting concrete goals and being ready to face challenges head-on. His journey underscores that, much like the Apollo 13 mission, achieving great success often requires tenacity, creative thinking, and an unyielding belief that failure is not an option.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why does my account health number drop sometimes even though I didn't get any issues on my account?   Watch this video on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/vN-qLeEhqhk   Show note LINKS:  JimCockrumCoaching.com  - Get a free session with a business consultant on our team at 1-800-994-1792 / 1-801-693-1688 or TEXT US at 385-284-7701 (US & Canada only for Text)  ALL of our coaches are running very successful businesses of their own based on the models we teach here!
