Hey guys!

In this episode I'll be talking about EPA (Environmental Protections Agency) inspections in China and what I'm doing to mitigate the real risk that these inspections could have on my business. I'll also be talking about how delays in production have caused me to COMPLETELY changed my strategy in Q4 from shipping test orders and the using a second shipment as the bulk of my inventory for Q4, to only having one shipment for all of Q4 and using warehouses to help me reduct my cost.

See you again on Monday!

What's up Amazon Entrepreneurs! Today I have the inspirational Angie Chacon on the show.

Angie started selling on Amazon 3 years ago, with no prior Ecommerce experience and with no initial funding. She built her Amazon business while working another full-time job and raising a family as a single mother of 4. She went from zero to $500k/month in sales in just 2 1/2 years while also establishing her own manufacturing facility. During this time, Angie has become a mentor for many others in their Amazon businesses and has helped them to grow their businesses as well.

I was really pumped after this episode and I hope you all feel the same way too! Talk to you again on Wednesday! 

Hey guys! In this episode I'm talking to you about how to hire VA's, how to hire them and why they are so important to have in your business! Hopefully after listening to this you will save some time when it comes to hiring (or at least consider hiring someone!).

I also give you my weekly update and I'm super excited that I have my first ever Private Label product on the way from China going directly into Amazon! :)

Talk soon, crush the week!

Today I have Ari Cohen on the show. 

Ari spoke at the most recent Amazing Selling Machine Summit event in Vegas and that's where I became aware of him and reached out after a brilliant keynote!

In this episode we talk about various aspects of running and growing your Amazon business, zeroing in on customer service.

Ari has also created a free resource on badassbusinessbuilders.org and gives you a tonne of great information from product selection to launching. Did I mention this is 100% FREE!?! If you're wondering where to start, you need to check this out!

Hope you enjoy the episode, talk again on Wednesday! 

Alright so in this episode I go into a bit of a rant about how important it is to connect with your WHY and how that can help you in business in general. I also talk about how having a morning ritual helps me stay focused.

Finally my product update - the first of my 6 products has completed production and the inspection has take place! I am still in the process of finding the best method for shipping after my supplier provided an option cheaper than my freight forwarder!

Talk soon!

We don't often talk about what's behind the listings and the big numbers people talk about but it's something that a lot of people (including myself) don't pay attention to and then it comes back to bite you!

Today I have Matt Remuzzi on who is going to take you through how you should be setting up your books for your Amazon FBA business from the start and what to do going forwards. We also talk about the confusion around the Sales Tax Amnesty that was announced recently and what you should do right now in your current situation. 

And to be perfectly clear, Matt impressed me so much with his knowledge that I immediately signed up to work with him and have him get my books up to scratch! 

This is a long one, but I'm sure you'll get a tonne of value out of it if you stay till the end!
