On this show, I sit down and chat with Tanessa Shears a health consultant for entrepreneurs to help us with our focus and energy.  We talk about easy things to implement as an entrepreneur starting with actually tracking the data and making small yet measurable adjustments.  We also wrap up the podcast with Tanessa talking about how she was able to engineer a lifestyle where she was able to retire her husband from his job, and how her family can live off dividend income and travel the world.

What should I do about these letters I get from "brand potection" companies?  Will they sue me?  Should I just trash them?  What could I sell my amazon private label business for?  How are deals like that usually set up?  Do I need to set up sales taxes for my Shopify store?  If you find yourself asking these questions then this eposide will have answers for you! I sit down with lawyer Paul Rafelson from Seller Basics.com and just rapid fire talk about these issues with super realistic answers.  We cover a lot of common amazon selling questions and hopefully bring some calm to worried sellers who might get a letter or two.
