Today's new podcast episode is a conversation with a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who has been in our community for several years. She and her husband still work full-time jobs, but they've built a beautiful business on Amazon as sellers and they are quite proud of their achievements!   They do it all while squeezing it into the cracks of their busy lives with two young kids.   They shop for inventory ONLY online using "OA" strategies (as taught in the PAC course and learned from the coach they had on our team). One of my favorite parts of her story is the fact that she uses ONLY KEEPA and ONLY a couple of the the strategies from our training - and has done it for YEARS!   We are excited to welcome Lina (our guest today) onto our team as a coach as well!   Watch this episode on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/a-lS3PlwrVM   Show note LINKS: SilentJim.com/bookacall - Book a call here to discuss our offers including coaching, legends and ProvenAmazonCourse.com course   My Silent Team Facebook group

In this episode, we dive into the concept of "replens" and how it differentiates from Online Arbitrage (OA), Retail Arbitrage (RA), and Wholesale. We start by discussing a crucial piece of advice from our Kickstart Bootcamp—always check the brand! Nothing else matters if the brand doesn't match.   Then, we explore a common question from a new coaching client: What exactly is a "replen"?   We break down the definition, highlighting how replenishable items don’t need to be consumable and can be sourced at full price, as long as they are viable, testable, and consistently replenishable.   Additionally, we tackle the ideal price point for replen items, reflecting on our journey from an average resale price of $15 in the early days to $25 today. You'll also hear insights on how some clients have succeeded with lower-cost items that resell between $10-$15.   Whether you're just starting out or refining your strategy, this episode offers valuable guidance on building a sustainable business model with replens!   Our

On today’s all new podcast episode I interview a successful ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who has been through several stages of development in his business.   You may or may not realize it, but we have a roadmap laid out for our students as they move from "newbie" seller to "advanced" seller. Those who follow this roadmap tend to do extremely well as illustrated by this latest interview (we have 100s of interviews like this one on our show!)   We start you new sellers out with the basics, which is our time-tested, very low risk, low learning curve and high odds of success strategy called REPLENS. From there, many models open up to you.   Once you know the basics you can move on to other model such as wholesale in launching around brand.   Today’s podcast guest Michael follow that path and has done extremely well at every stage of his business including launching his own product using our coaching and guidance!   This is an encouraging episode full of specific strategies that will undoubtedly motivate and en

Today I have a conversation for you on our podcast that I think everyone will enjoy regarding leadership and business and balancing it all with family.   This episode is different than any other we’ve ever recorded in that we spend some time talking directly to the men who are trying to find that elusive "balance" needed to effectively play the role of husband, father, provider and business owner.   A mentor of mine, Aaron Walker joins me for this discussion. He is a founder of an incredible mastermind group for male business owners that I'm excited to tell you about. Some incredibly influential and accomplished men are already part of this group and I'm honored to be joining forces with them.   This episode has something for everyone, but if you're a guy who is finding it hard to "keep it all together" as you pursue a fulfilling life of both high achievement and family balance, you'll especially appreciate this episode. Quite likely, the right relationships are the missing key - and we discuss how to address
