| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Jim. |
| 0:03.0 | Welcome to another episode of silent sales machine radio. |
| 0:07.0 | As we're cruising through 2021, we're actually halfway through the year approximately as I'm recording this. |
| 0:14.0 | And I was reflecting on some of the things that we hear over and over again from people who are considering launching or going all in or expanding their Amazon business to a more serious level. |
| 0:31.3 | I think just about anybody can play around on the side on eBay or Facebook Marketplace or Amazon and make a few extra $100 a week in their spare time. |
| 0:39.1 | That's easy. Anyone can do that. Our community's got quite a few people in there who are doing just |
| 0:45.5 | that actually. Amazon's own statistics tell us that there's over a million of us who are |
| 0:51.1 | growing businesses on their platform, selling products on their platform. So there's a lot |
| 0:56.0 | of people doing that. But for those of us who take that next level of making it a serious business |
| 1:01.7 | that supports our families, remember, I've been doing e-commerce as the only income for my family |
| 1:07.5 | for over 18, coming up on 19 years, started fooling around on the internet over 20 |
| 1:12.9 | years ago, went full time, not too long after that. So I've seen a lot of opportunities come and go. |
| 1:18.6 | I've seen a lot of things rise and fall. Amazon, the way we teach it right now, that entry |
| 1:24.7 | level opportunity is a very robust, low-hanging fruit opportunity that can |
| 1:29.5 | grow with you. It can be a very real, long-term business. And what I wanted to do today was go |
| 1:34.3 | through some of those excuses. I'll be so boldest to call them the lies or the misinterpretations, |
| 1:41.2 | or you're listening to the wrong people if you've heard any of the things that I'm |
| 1:45.3 | about to go through on this list. And there's several more things that I could add to this list. |
| 1:49.7 | But I kind of grabbed, think of it almost like as a top 10, although I didn't count them. I think |
| 1:53.0 | maybe I got a little more than 10 here, but I'll fly through them pretty quick. But these are the |
| 1:56.8 | lies that you're likely believing about Amazon if you're still skeptical. I'm likely going to |
| 2:03.3 | hit something that's been bouncing around in your brain, and I'm going to argue against that |
