Since the release of Amazon Brand Regsitry 2.0 we have been seeing a steady stream of brands that have been abusing the Intellectual Property claim process on Amazon.  Many innocent sellers have been caught in the cross fire.  We have created a mini-course on how to address IP complaints.  You can get it for free during the 2017 holiday season here: https://qk286-39b2aa.pages.infusionsoft.net In this epsiode, we hear again from intellectual property lawyer Casey Vaugh from https://www.vaughnlaw.com/ and Chris McCabe from EcommerceChris.com.   In this episode, both experts share some strategies to protect yourself from IP complaints.  

Especially for those in the arbitrage model the risk to the safety of our accounts from complaints have been increasing.  Amazon has used the idea of them being "simply a platform" as a way to avoid litigation and ignore the false IP issues.  Casey shares how she advises clients that are dealing with IP complaints. 

Whether you are ready for Q4 or not, it is upon us! While Q4 strategies may seem daunting, careful planning of your inventory and profit margin goals are essential. Through the years of my boot camp and academy classes, I've seen many entrepreneurs exhausted or relieved that the quarter is over. But it takes a certain amount of planning to carry you through Q4.

On today's episode, I'm talking about the strategies you need to create a successful Q4. I'll also address what makes a successful seller during these times. You want to maximize your systems in place, hiring, cash flow, inventory, tactics, and weekly and daily planning.

"What are the things that I can do to support having quality inventory that will turn and that's profitable."

Today on the Unstoppable Entrepreneur Show:

• Developing Q4 strategies to maximize your productive goals
• The importance of implementing weekly and daily goals
• Taking a careful look at your inventory for now and in future months

How does the fourth quarter look for you? For most entrepreneurs, Q4 is the most time-consuming and profitable season. Most business owners consider a balance between work and life a necessary step, but balance is not what you think. During Q4, you will be working so hard that you might believe that balance is impossible, but you don't have to be everywhere and do everything all the time.

On today's episode, I explain why most entrepreneurs reach a burnout point without even realizing it. Your work life and family time may have difficult situations during long work hours, but it's okay to be unbalanced. As the Q4 season peaks at its maximum, it's okay to work those extra hours to know it's going to lead to more attainable goals in your life.

"Work-life-balance is a myth, and balance, in general, is a myth."

Today on the Unstoppable Entrepreneur Show:

• How to stay balanced during the peak times of Q4
• Thinking outside of the box when it comes to balancing your life and work
• What is the mindset to stay on track during a profitable season
• How to avoid burnout if you're overworking and not going anywhere
• Setting up systems to motivate you to be more productive and efficient

Words of Wisdom:

• Consider being out of balance as your new form of living and realize it's okay
• Think about the future as you lead a profitable unbalanced work life

The majority of entrepreneurs might not be thinking about quarter four, let alone profits for the last quarter of the year. Today, I'm talking about the tactics you can use to change your mindset to attain your goals. It becomes even more important during the last quarter of the year.

When you implement the "By When" strategies, you are setting up a plan of action for success. Making realistic goals to help you get to where you need to be is the ultimate decision in your business. However, these business goals need adequate time frames you know you have to obtain. Don't let the lack of prioritization stop you from being successful in your business.

"It shouldn't be about us serving our business. It should be about our business serving us."

Today on the Unstoppable Entrepreneur Show:

• Implementing the "By When" strategy to relate to your business and yourself
• How to create realistic business goals with attainable deadlines
• Creating subtasks in your business to improve your financial goals
• Knowing when you need to outsource to increase profit
• Preventing feeling overwhelmed by setting clear goals
• Committing a promise to yourself as you invest in making progress in your business
• Developing tactics to increase profit and enjoy life with your loved ones

My Words of Wisdom:

• Figure out the best options for your business to develop attainable deadlines
• Increase revenues with clear goal setting

If you've decided to expand your business to the international market, you may have discovered that protecting your profits can sometimes be a challenge. How can you sell your products efficiently and still make money while considering the currency conversion? Although it sounds simple enough, Lucy Marshall from World First shares some useful tactics for expanding your ecommerce business abroad. Lucy is an expert in international ecommerce and for five years, she has specialized in helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses with logistics and brand building.

On today's episode, she explains the framework required to expand your market into other countries. Lucy describes the logistics that are vital to the market of your product in different countries other than the U. S. and, more importantly, she mentions the notion of taxes, compliance, and regulations of certain products in other countries.

 An important note **

In minute 7-8, Lucy discusses registering for VAT and how to calculate those costs. It should be noted, that she does not work at a VAT company, nor is she an expert on the subject matter. Please note that while you should have a VAT number when selling internationally, you should also consult with a VAT consultant who understands the ins and outs of how this factors into your global business.

"It's a little bit of overhead in terms of getting set up, but there's a huge opportunity to spike your sales by selling internationally."- Lucy Marshall

Today on the Unstoppable Entrepreneur Show:

• Researching your product that will sell in other countries based on regulations and compliance
• Evaluating your profit after shipping and marketing
• Considering an analytical firm to support you with research
• Studying the VAT (value added tax) regulations of the country you're selling for compliance
• Shipping techniques to handle your products
• Knowing the listing description in the native language of the country you're selling
• Exploring the international market for specific consumer targets such as holidays and consumer trends

Lucy's words of wisdom:

• Know the currency value of your product and obtain the tools to maximize your profits
• Research your market and product internationally and determine currency conversion
