#723: Stepped away from her IT career to live the flexible Amazon seller lifestyle

Today's guest is a former high school teacher and IT professional who stepped away from her career to live a flexible lifestyle on her own terms thanks to the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and her multiple six figure sales.   Initially, she considered launching a private label brand with a different strategy before finding us, but she moved decided against that because of what she calls some "sketchy" elements in the other group, but as she's grown into the Amazon opportunity, she's now exploring branded bundles as her way to step into building a brand without needing any new products of her own.   She's also had significant success with moving items from Canada to the US and vice versa - a cool twist to the typical sourcing strategies that we've ever heard on our show!   We are so glad she found our community and she has an exciting story to share!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/h9gf3JU_S7I   Today's show is sponsored by Arbitrage Card - Save cash with DISCOUNTED GIFT CARDS!
