Summary
Scott knew he wanted to build an Amazon business, so he started researching the opportunity. After searching for nearly 18 months for "the right" course and community and after getting his wife on board, they began their Amazon seller journey with the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course.
They've now built a great Amazon business in preparation for meeting their goal of generating a great income that will support them when they hit retirement. In this episode they also discuss how they decided to go "all in" and become students of our "on site" live Amazon seller training (ProvenReplenTraining.com) which is when we flew an expert coach to their hometown and stepped them through setting up their Amazon business - this INCLUDED finding dozens of profitable items they could sell within a few days! As always, there are several strategies and creative insights in this episode for sellers of all experience levels. Guests: Scott and Gerri Shelton

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. It's Jim. We've got an exciting interview today with two students from our |
| 0:07.4 | community who have built a beautiful business. It's Scott and Jerry Shelton. And they were actually |
| 0:13.8 | part of our proven replant training program, which means we sent someone to their hometown and went out |
| 0:20.7 | with them, helped them get |
| 0:22.3 | their business started, got everything they needed in place, went shopping with them, |
| 0:27.7 | found a whole bunch of unique products that they could sell. And we check in with them today |
| 0:31.9 | and get an update on how their business is going. They've got some really cool insights to share, |
| 0:37.3 | some stuff we've never talked about before on today's program. Just a neat couple. They've been entrepreneurs. A lot of their life, they've also held traditional jobs, but they're looking to turn this into something that they can do as a couple in retirement, and they're well on their way. They've built a beautiful business, and I think you're going to |
| 0:54.5 | really enjoy getting to know this really cool couple. They're also planning, hoping to join us in |
| 0:59.7 | Tampa as well for our conference in July. If you're listening to this before July 2021, |
| 1:05.1 | you can go to the provenconference.com and plan to join us there and meet this couple and hundreds of other |
| 1:12.7 | really great people who are also listeners to this podcast. We'd love to have you there as our guests. |
| 1:17.7 | So we're going to meet a couple of proven Amazon course students in just a moment. That's how they |
| 1:21.7 | got started. I love that he shares, Scott shares as part of his story that they checked us out |
| 1:26.9 | for about a year |
| 1:27.6 | and a half before he finally pulled the trigger. And you'll hear his version of the story here in |
| 1:32.3 | just a moment. I really enjoyed that in particular, but a whole lot of other great observations |
| 1:36.1 | and tips and strategies from a couple that are out there doing it. And what prompted this |
| 1:40.6 | episode before I get them on the line was the fact that they had just passed $200,000 plus dollars in sales and they were excited. They made a post in the Facebook |
| 1:48.0 | group and I reached out to them and they said, yeah, they'd love to do a podcast with us. |
| 1:52.7 | So that's what led to this episode. So maybe you're wondering if your story is good enough or |
| 1:57.3 | interesting enough. Yeah, it is. If you're succeeding online using creative strategies, |
