Summary
Wouldn't it be great if someone would just SHOW YOU THE STEPS TO SUCCESS? We'd all like to think that if someone would just lay it all out in clearly defined steps then we could push the right buttons, use the right tools and follow the plan to building a great business online (just like building a lego set, right?)
If you've not figured it out yet, building a business is NOT like building a LEGO set! It's more like taking a leadership journey with surprises around each new bend in the path! So what's the plan you should follow?
The people you choose to surround yourself with, the mindset you bring daily and the small disciplines that you establish are bigger factors than you might realize. I know of very few exceptions of successful students in our community who don't understand these dynamics.
We pride ourselves on giving you the step by step blueprint for building a great business on Amazon, but COMMUNITY, MINDSET and DISCIPLINE play a bigger role than STRATEGY! Let's talk about it.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. Thanks for joining me. It's just you and me hanging out today |
| 0:05.8 | for this episode. Usually, or most episodes I should say, we have a guest, someone we interview |
| 0:14.2 | who is a proven Amazon course student typically who is succeeding, building a real business. |
| 0:19.9 | We ask them all kinds of questions. |
| 0:21.2 | They share the insights and the details of their story and their journey. |
| 0:24.4 | And we all learn from their experiences. But today's just you and me hanging out. And I've got |
| 0:30.0 | a fairly short episode today, but this is one not to be ignored because I detect patterns |
| 0:36.8 | around here. If you didn't know it, we've been |
| 0:38.8 | teaching people how to succeed with e-commerce around here for over 20 years. My only income has been |
| 0:46.1 | selling products online and teaching other people how to build beautiful businesses using |
| 0:50.9 | the internet creatively. We've got a team of almost 100 people that support this |

| 1:17.2 | e-commerce is what we live, eat, breathe, and sleep. |
| 1:21.0 | And I can tell you, there's some things I've observed about who succeeds and who doesn't, |
| 1:26.1 | and it has a whole lot more to do with the things I'm |
| 1:30.5 | going to share with you today, the three things specifically, than it does to do with the specific |
| 1:35.4 | strategy you're pursuing. Now, one of the things I cover in my free book, it's called Silent Sales |
