#833: Our weekly highlights and recap of powerful business lessons

  In today's weekend episode we have highlights of a prior show.   We covered episode #623: A beautiful partnership leads to an amazing Amazon business which you can hear at https://silentjim.com/podcast   This episode's guests have built a fantastic Amazon business with a very part-time effort.   They are the latest of dozens of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students that I've interviewed who have succeeded in a big way. They joined our coaching program about a year ago and attribute most of their success to the great experience they've had as coaching students.   They have an unusual partnership. He's a guy with a full-time job and his partner is a nearby friend/family member who is retired - but together their business is booming and they have so many tips to share! They source their profitable inventory in various ways; via online sourcing, local retail and they are also beginning to explore private label products.   You'll be inspired by the unique approach they take to finding profitable inventory for their Amazon business. This is one of those episodes that I promise will inform and encourage you with plenty of highly actionable insights.   Highlight topics put together by the podcast team include:   Retail Arbitrage as a sustainable business model to grow into other models Important tools for your business and how to utilize them Relationships; some very endearing stories shared by both the guests and Jim The importance of having a legal advisor on your team (Jeff Schick is so affordable) Coaching and the level up one gets by investing in mentorship How the My Silent Team Facebook group is anther place to develop relationships   Show note LINKS:   Jim's book Silent Sales Machine has been updated and you can get the FREE audio version here: https://silentjim.com/free11   They all talk about the conference from last year but here is this year's info with tickets still available to attend!
