Summary
Today's guest is a former coaching student who became a coach with us about a year ago. She's one of the most organized and disciplined business builders among our leadership team! Her strategy is to have a set plan for every day of the week and she really sticks to it. She's building an amazing multiple-five-figure business that's far more than replaced the income she had in her previous position. Her Amazon business even helped sustain her family as her husband (a dentist) was furloughed for much of 2020 because of covid. She's of course using the Amazon seller strategies we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course and her business is growing steadily. Today we discuss topics including; her routine, how she finds great inventory, how her husband works with her part-time, how she's grown her small team that works in her house, how she uses eBay and Facebook Marketplace to enhance and diversify her income, how she celebrates small victories very intentionally, her plans to build a brand with her bundles, and much more!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. It's Jim. I've got another great episode today with a guest. |
| 0:08.3 | Today is one of our coaches joining me on the podcast episode. And her name is Jessica Buchanan. |
| 0:15.2 | She's a young married lady who used to work in full-time ministry and now works full-time in her Amazon business |
| 0:23.7 | and has grown an incredible business and also is coaching a good handful of our students as well. |
| 0:29.5 | She's been on the coaching team about a year now. Her husband still works full-time that helps |
| 0:34.2 | out a ton in the business and it's going really well. They've built a very |
| 0:37.9 | healthy multiple five-figure business with a great profit margin, and the sky's the limit from here. |
| 0:44.5 | Some of the things that stood out from our interview that you're about to hear today for me, |
| 0:48.7 | as we went through it, was they've got multiple income streams. They're using multiple platforms. |
| 0:55.4 | They're selling some products on Facebook Marketplace. We share some great tips for that today. They're using some |
| 0:59.8 | eBay and some other things as well in the works with Walmart. I also enjoyed how she |
| 1:05.6 | intentionally celebrates victories. She's got some cool things to share today on how she stays motivated with her |
| 1:13.8 | and her small team. They actually work from their home. They've got people that come into their |
| 1:18.0 | home. They've just bought a new house with this exciting season that they're in. They had to expand |
| 1:24.1 | a little bit. So they've got people that come into their house into their basement with an external exit, kind of come and go, work downstairs. Pretty cool arrangement that they've got |
| 1:31.9 | growing a business. I think you're going to appreciate as well her weekly schedule. She's on a very |
| 1:37.5 | disciplined. Here's what I do Mondays. Here's what I do Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and she shares in |
| 1:42.3 | great detail exactly how she's mapped this out. |
| 1:45.3 | So I think what you're given today, if you listen to this episode, is a blueprint for how this |
| 1:51.2 | business can be done. And she says in her own words, it's work. It's not easy. But if you do the |
| 1:56.4 | work, here's the results you can expect. And she just throws the doors wide open on exactly how this |
| 2:02.2 | business model works and why she loves it so much. And like I said, she is a coach on our team. |
