| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior, got a treat for you today. You love those episodes where we bring on a guest and they tell their story of success with the proven Amazon course. I got another one today. Hey, if you're a new listener, you may not be aware that we have over a thousand episodes of this show. The vast majority of them are interviews with successful students who follow the ideas we teach on this |
| 0:22.8 | show and then share what works, the journey, the challenges, the struggles, and how excited |
| 0:28.8 | they are about their business. We've got no shortage of people that we can go to and say, |
| 0:33.3 | hey, share your story. Because we are a community that lives and breathes and breeds success in |
| 0:39.9 | e-commerce, specifically with the proven Amazon course strategies, which is what this podcast is all |
| 0:46.6 | about, sharing how to sell on Amazon successfully, specifically beginning with a very specific |
| 0:52.4 | strategy, which is the same one that you're going to hear |
| 0:54.4 | from Keith today. He's a replin seller. He's used the proven Amazon course, along with coaching, |
| 1:00.8 | and the software that we now have been recommending for the past several months that simplifies the |
| 1:05.6 | process down, breaks it down. So simple, called 3P Mercury. That's what we do here. This is another great success story. Keith has been in ministry for decades as a pastor. Now he's stepping into the retirement season. And this is the business that he's growing. And he's so excited, having his first five figure month here way ahead of schedule. And he's excited to share the details. So let's get Keith on the line now, |
| 1:28.7 | spend some time with him. You're going to be encouraged and inspired and equipped to go do the same thing for yourself if you're ready to get started. All right. Let's get into the interview right now. So Keith, welcome to the podcast. Good to see you, man. Good to see you, too. It's good to be here. for doing this. Absolutely. I'm really looking forward to diving into your story. I know a little bit about you. I mentioned |
| 1:47.5 | in the introduction, but man, I want to hear the rest of your story if you're ready to go. |
| 1:52.4 | Sure. I've been a pastor for 49 years, full time, since 1976. And back in December of last year, I knew that we would be making a transition. |
| 2:05.6 | I'm going on 72 years of age now, and I've had a very successful ministry, but I was looking |
| 2:13.5 | for something else. I have dealt into e-commerce a bit. I've sold some things on eBay. I'm a |
| 2:19.4 | musician and I'm a trumpet player and I've sold and bought all kinds of horns and everything on |
| 2:24.8 | eBay in the past. But back in December, I just prayed that God lead me to the right place. I had not |
| 2:33.5 | heard of silent Jim at that point. I prayed, |
| 2:37.8 | you know, and I looked, I came across this ad, a $7 ad on, on Instagram that was yours. |
| 2:46.0 | And I responded to it and paid my seven bucks. Well, it was just a couple days later that I received |
| 2:52.4 | the email from you and said, this is not a mass email. This is a personal email. If you respond |
