| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior, this is Jim coming at you with another episode of silent sales |
| 0:07.0 | machine radio. It's just me today, which is unusual. Most of the time we have guests, but I do |
| 0:13.4 | like to do these typically shorter episodes where I talk through some of the important lessons |
| 0:19.0 | that we're learning around here. |
| 0:22.5 | We learn a lot, actually. |
| 0:28.3 | We probably learn more than we teach around here because of all the incredible students that come through our community, |
| 0:34.0 | many of whom end up becoming success stories and coaches on our team and content creators. |
| 0:35.9 | That's what we've been doing. |
| 0:38.5 | You do that for 20 years and you end up with some pretty incredible people on the team doing some pretty incredible things, teaching us great lessons |
| 0:43.6 | that I like to pass on to you. So today, I want to talk through the life cycle of an Amazon |

| 1:21.9 | people, I would say 85 of them followed the path that I'm about to lay down right now. There will be exceptions, |
| 1:30.2 | of course. But if we look at successful students and the path that they took, the path that we put |
| 1:35.9 | a lot of our students through, we start everybody at kind of the same point, it looks pretty |
| 1:41.8 | similar. Now, what we used to do looks different than what we do now. |
| 1:47.6 | So if you jump backwards in time about, say, six years ago, we used to start people at a different |
| 1:53.3 | point than where we start them now. But the process we have now is much better. It's improved. |
