Link Up Leaders

Becoming a successful Amazon Seller can sound like a daunting task when you consider that there are 3,700 new Sellers joining the platform every single day. While it's not as easy to become a 6, 7, or 8-figure seller today as it was five years ago, it's not impossible to find success in eCommerce!

On this episode of Link Up Leaders, Francois and Lisa have the pleasure of chatting with one of our most notable guests yet, Tim Jordan! Tim will be talking to us about how to find that diamond in the rough - that winning product that will take you to success in a highly saturated marketplace such as Amazon.

💥About Our Guest!💥

Although it was never planned to happen the way it did, Tim was not able to resist his natural inclination to be an entrepreneur! His business experience started off rocky and with a lot of failures and hard lessons, but e-commerce changed all of that. Since 2015, Tim’s life has completely transformed due to the incredible e-commerce opportunity! For side-hustlers and business-building warriors, there has NEVER been a better time to be an entrepreneur. And luckily, Tim was able to surround himself with an AMAZING community, and has been able to help a few other folks along the way!

Some of Tim’s highlights since he found e-com:

- First million in sales on Amazon in 7 months, with 30% margins!

- Built, launched, and created multiple brands across multiple platforms

- Internationally known e-commerce keynote speaker

- Multiple Large collaborations in E-Com education

- Executive Strategist, Consultant, and Director for multiple E-Com Service Providers

- Including Software, Marketing, Logistics, and Finance

- Founded and run multiple e-com communities, workshops, and events!

- Self-Proclaimed “Clark Griswold” family man!

Private Label Legion is the community that brings like-minded entrepreneurs together to share ideas, knowledge and to create a solid network. E-com is growing like never before… And one of the absolute best ways to build an e-commerce business is through creating and selling Private Label products!

Unfortunately, it’s not easy… and it’s CERTAINLY not a “get rich quick” opportunity. It takes real work and real methods. Luckily, you can join an ARMY of fellow e-com entrepreneurs! And that army is the Private Label Legion

Amazon Seller turned podcast host, Anatoly Spektor joins the Link Up Leaders stage to share his experiences as a serial entrepreneur and his journey to scaling his eCommerce business to $10 million! Francois and Lisa will be discussing best practices with Anatoly and sharing insights about eCommerce podcasting.

--

About Our Guest! Anatoly Spektor is a serial entrepreneur, 6-figure Amazon Seller, IT consultant, and the host of 10 Million Journey podcast where Anatoly shares his journey to scaling his eCommerce business to $10 million.

Anatoly was born in Eastern Europe but moved to Canada at the age of 21, changed his career from Business to Software Development, and with great focus in 3 years got to a position where he worked in some of the world’s most successful IT companies earning 6 figure salary. Soon, being tired of working for somebody else, Anatoly decided to start a side hustle- an Agile Consultancy “Define Agile”, where he helps IT teams to be more efficient, leveraging IT experience gained in previous jobs.

Realizing that consultancy is very client-dependent Anatoly also started an eCommerce business in partnership with his wife Anna. In 3 years, Anatoly had grown Agile Consultancy to 6-figures and in the next 3 years, did the same with an Amazon business. Anatoly realized that the only way to reach even higher is to have a more narrow focus, and moved most of his efforts towards eCommerce business.

Currently, Anatoly uses his podcast "10 Million Journey" as an accountability tool where he shares his every step and interviews the best in the industry to pick their brains on eCommerce. strategies, mindset, and various other topics. His guests range from 9 figure Amazon Sellers, to networking coaches, strategists, and small business entrepreneurs.
