Summary
I'm coming up on twenty years experience in using the Internet creatively to earn income online. I've seen dozens of business models. The one I'm most excited about for 2022 remains Amazon REPLENS.
It’s not necessarily easy, because no business is easy! It's work!
The nice thing about the model though is that it's simple and our system works. It scales. It’s incredibly low risk and it consistently leads to other great opportunities.
Today I spend some time dispelling common myths about Amazon selling as we head into 2022.
Some of the points I address you may have heard me mention in past episodes, but some are new as well.
All of the topics you'll hear me address can be summed up as either potential stumbling blocks or common excuses that we've heard that have prevented sellers from succeeding with what we believe is clearly the simplest and most stable business model online - especially for “newbies”.
I address things like, the learning curve of Amazon replens, startup costs, our 2022 outlook, popular Amazon selling advice that just wrong, how even people who don't like buying and shipping can do the models we teach and several other great topics for new and experienced sellers alike.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. It's Jim. Today it's just me, so I'm turning on the microphone, no video camera, no YouTube episode this time, no guest. Just be hanging out and talking through an idea that I've had in my head. Based around the theme of business is never easy, hopefully you realize that. |
| 0:23.8 | Business is never easy. |
| 0:26.1 | Business, by its definition, is figuring out a way to turn a $5 bill into a $20 bill |
| 0:31.7 | when someone's excited to take your product from you. |
| 0:36.6 | You've added value somehow. You've added blood, sweat, |
| 0:39.6 | tears, work, effort, energy to create something that wasn't there before. That takes energy. It |
| 0:46.2 | takes work. It takes risk. That's why I call us business building warriors. It's never easy. |
| 0:52.9 | But rarely is it this simple. So that's the title of this episode. |
| 0:58.5 | Business is never easy, but rarely is it this simple. And when I say this simple, I'm talking |
| 1:06.3 | about, of course, the Amazon model where we start 95% of our students. That's the replans model to be specific. |
| 1:14.8 | There's many ways to make money on Amazon. We teach all of them. We have students succeeding at very |
| 1:21.6 | high levels with all the different models that we teach. But the new sellers, most people who are new to our community, |
| 1:29.6 | the people who have been burned by other business models online, we like to start them all. |
| 1:35.0 | This low-hanging fruit opportunity is not easy, but it is simple. It's easy to teach it to you. |
| 1:42.2 | It's easy for you to grasp the core concepts. It's easy for you to go |
| 1:46.1 | through the steps, but there is small risks. You can bump your head. You can stub your toe. There's |
| 1:52.2 | things that can go wrong. You will be frustrated from time to time. As with any other business that's |
| 1:57.8 | out there, it's kind of sad that it has to be said, but there's no business |
| 2:02.3 | model out there where you just kind of skip through the steps and money starts pouring in. |
| 2:07.2 | Anybody who's telling you that's how it works, they're selling a course or a book or a strategy. |
| 2:13.9 | They're trying to get money from you somehow because that's just not reality. Businesses |
| 2:19.1 | always work, risk, blood, sweat, and tears. But rarely is it as simple as the process. And this is why we |
