| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior, welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio. |
| 0:05.4 | I'm so glad you're joining me today for a few minutes as we talk through a very important topic, |
| 0:10.0 | especially if you are new to being a seller on Amazon or you're considering being a seller |
| 0:16.9 | on Amazon. Maybe you've already got some excited momentum going, but you're not convinced |
| 0:23.6 | you're doing it the right way. Let's talk through some of the warning flags that we like to wave |
| 0:28.9 | in the face of new sellers as they get going down this very exciting, wide open, rapidly |

| 1:30.0 | out of this? And you're going to pay a lot more money in many cases to get out of the hole you jumped in |
| 1:34.8 | than you would have ever paid in just getting the right education from trusted sources. |
| 1:43.3 | So before we jump into all that, |
| 1:44.9 | and I've got a good list of the mistakes that we see. |
| 1:46.8 | We'll talk through several of them. |
| 1:48.8 | I want to use an analogy. |
