eCommerce Momentum Podcast

One conversation with Nathan and you will know right away this kid (He's younger than my son!) knows his stuff and he is going to be successful. He comes from a family of Executives, Craftsman and Entrepreneurs and clearly has learned well from them. He decided to give up a promising Financial Services Career to feed his hunger for Entrepreneurship (with the blessing of his new wife of course!). What I love is he decided EARLY in his career, before the what if's start or the regrets start to appear and cause self-doubt. He has partnered with his Uncle Andy Slamans (Interview # 1) for a course on starting out on Amazon, Growing into other layers on Amazon, Adding Private Label, Wholesale and most importantly a Jumpstart to take your business to the next level.

Debra has brought her experience from retail brick & mortar to Amazon. Of course the path is not a straight one...it rarely is.. but she has figured out a great business model that fits her life plan. Again another successful seller with a life plan that uses eCommerce to fit her life. Think about your life...do you have a life plan? If so does your current eCommerce model reflect that? Does it align with where you think you should be? Is it going where you think you should be going? Debra is a seller first and foremost but she also offers coaching and I can see some really attracted to her positive...You can do it! style!  Listen and reach out if you connect with her story!

Brendon is the man we all strive to be...Be there for your kids...at all costs! Brendon walks us through the difficulty of being a single dad, after a divorce and losing a job and then finding luckily FBA. Yes this is a success story, a feel-good story with an upcoming happy ending (I'm certain of that!) I think Brendon is proof that eCommerce is the best opportunity for anyone, yes anyone, to rise up and out of a difficult situation, let alone a few difficult situations! So listen to this once if you feel like you are grooving along and want to root for someone, listen to it again if you need some help, some inspiration to get through the roadblock in front of you. Know you are not alone, you are at the point we all were, and this interview will show you can get through it and how much better it is on the other side. One more real takeaway needs to be...spend the important time with your family as you never know when your situation can change!

It seems like I have had a run of booksellers lately and you might conclude there is a resurgence of book selling, and there is some truth to that but I see it more that there is a group of more sophisticated sellers, taking advantage of the technology and taking advantage of their business process knowledge. When you listen to this interview imagine a book sale and the tugging and pushing of the past. Now listen to him describe bringing in a team with the same color shirts for easy identification, runners who can keep the scanners scanning and offer a second set of eyes on the book quality. Michael is very SMART, focused and by the way ...successful!

I really love Andy's spirit, his sense of freedom, the fact that he gets it at such a young age is inspiring!Imagine your younger free-spirited self-directed child finding their way, their way! Yes I meant to type that as Andy is a great example of what can be with today's eCommerce world. At no other time in our lives has it been easier to monetize your art, your music, your passion and I think this is a sign of what is to come! Andy walks us through how he got started and how he can help you too have an location independent business. His course walks you through the steps he took and will allow you to jump start your business from wherever! Great side hustle model.
