Summary
Today's guest had almost no computer experience and no ecommerce experience before becoming a student of the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course. She's finding more profitable products than she can keep up with using our strategies! She's built a beautiful business and is on track to do between $500,000-$600,000 in sales this year with a small team. She works about 5-6 hours daily because she wants to, but her business is nearly fully automated. She sold nearly $350K at great margins her first full year. She shares all the details of her journey including how she finds products, how she eliminated risk almost entirely, what strategy she uses (she loves the Replens model taught in our course), and her amazing Virtual Assistant (VA) that she hired from our pool of trained VA's (see ProvenReplensVA.com).

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. It's Jim. I've got a guest on the show today who is another |
| 0:07.0 | Replins success story, another student of the proven Amazon course who's following the path that we set out for 95% of all of our new sellers. |
| 0:19.0 | And she started with the Replins module. She sold, checking my notes, |
| 0:24.3 | just under $350,000 her first full year. And she's on course to do between $500,000 and $600,000 this year, |
| 0:33.4 | working far few hours in year two because she's built a bit of a team. |
| 0:38.2 | She's operating at about a 20% net profit margin, which is phenomenal. |
| 0:43.1 | She's finding replins everywhere. |
| 0:46.6 | It's another one of these students who's just finding virtually unlimited inventory |
| 0:50.4 | and just growing an incredible business as a result. |
| 0:53.5 | She's also using our proven |
| 0:55.1 | replins VA program, which is where we train a virtual assistant for you and then assign them |
| 1:01.7 | to you. And that person works only for you and they find inventory like crazy just for you. |
| 1:09.9 | The program is going extremely well. So today's guest, Jerry, |
| 1:15.0 | as you hear from in just a minute, she was actually a coaching student as well. She talks a little |
| 1:19.4 | bit about that, how great it went. She actually signed up for our in-person training, which is |
| 1:24.2 | something that not very many many people sign up for because it involves us |
| 1:27.9 | traveling to your hometown, staying in a hotel near you for a few days, and training you the |
| 1:33.2 | entire system over the course of two or three days. It costs a little bit more money than our |
| 1:37.6 | traditional coaching, but we do still offer it. We can actually do it virtually as well if you want |
| 1:42.3 | to carve out just a handful of very intensive |
| 1:44.6 | days versus a long-term coaching experience. We have lots of options for you. So there's links in the |
| 1:50.9 | show notes near today's episode to all of those where you can contact us and get details on those |
