Summary
Today's episode is two parts.
A letter and some software/costs discussion.
The episode starts with a letter from a student who is going to be soon joining our team as a coach. He's built a great mid-six figure business and is scaling! He has a full-time job so he elected to just write down bullet points for me to share because he doesn't want his employer to know he's going to go full-time soon!
His wife has quit her job because of the Amazon income and he hopes to do the same some day soon as well as they scale their mid-six figure business together He will also soon be a coach on our team of ProvenAmazonCourse.com experts!
The second part of the episode today is a discussion about "What software do I REALLY need when I'm starting out?" Jim goes into the options for three different types of sellers based on funding, aggressive intentions and time available to commit to the journey.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, business building warrior. |
| 0:03.6 | Welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio, the podcast. |
| 0:08.0 | That features hundreds of interviews with successful proven Amazon course students. |
| 0:15.4 | And today is a bit of an unusual episode. |
| 0:18.6 | I'm going to be sharing a letter I received from a new coach on our |
| 0:24.8 | team. And that might sound unusual, but let me explain. The coach on our team who wishes to remain |
| 0:31.4 | anonymous, which is why we've received a letter instead of having him on here as a guest, |
| 0:37.2 | he currently has a full-time job. |
| 0:38.9 | Now, he intends to build his business to the point where he can leave that job, but so far, |
| 0:44.2 | they've only been able to have his wife leave her job to work on the business, and he still has a |
| 0:50.1 | full-time gig. Now, they did a half million dollars approximately, half million in sales in |
| 0:55.9 | 2025 at great profit margins. We're going to get into all of that in a minute, but the reason we're |
| 1:01.6 | doing a letter here is because he's a new coach on our team, and what we like to do is introduce |
| 1:05.7 | new coaches to the community when they come on board. But in this case, we can't because he wishes to remain anonymous until he's able to go full-time |
| 1:16.2 | online. |
| 1:17.3 | Makes sense. |
| 1:18.5 | So a lot of the people who come on our podcast to share their success stories, they still |
| 1:23.2 | have a real job. |
| 1:25.7 | I'm using air quotes, if you're listening, a real job, meaning they don't necessarily |
| 1:30.4 | want to put their primary job at risk by telling the world that they've got this side business |
| 1:35.9 | that they're trying to grow to replace their career. You've heard dozens and dozens of these |
| 1:41.5 | stories on our podcast, and people leave their jobs all the |
