Summary
Whether you are experienced or brand new to the concept of selling on Amazon, today I go through the most common decision points involved in helping our students make a good decision. I discuss common issues of concern among our students such as: is Amazon saturated? What's the future look like for Amazon sellers and ecommerce? Can a virtual assistant really do most of the work for me? Do I need a coach? What are the start up costs? How big is the learning curve? Why have you been so bullish on the Replens model for so long? What if my passion is elsewhere?
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why is Amazon limiting storage for some FBA sellers on the front end of Q4? What can we do about it?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. This is Jim of Silent Sales Machine Radio. Thanks for hanging out with me today. It's just you and me. No guests today. I'm going to talk for a few minutes. And this is specifically aimed for those who are trying to decide if Amazon selling is for them or not. |
| 0:21.9 | Maybe you're already doing it and you're trying to decide if this is where you really want to be. |
| 0:26.8 | Maybe you're considering getting into selling online and selling on Amazon, |
| 0:31.0 | using the systems we teach. |
| 0:32.6 | I'm going to talk you through some of the decision points that you're going to have to make |
| 0:36.5 | to continue moving forward in a good direction and answering those hard questions, those things that you're hearing, |
| 0:44.0 | the rumors, maybe the challenges, the other opportunities that are out there. And let's start here. |
| 0:51.8 | I didn't wake up one day and decide, man, I think I'm going to go all in |

| 1:31.4 | students and just numerous success stories. If you come to one of our live events, you see |

| 1:41.8 | leadership role of some kind, creating content or stepping up and |
| 1:45.1 | being a coach, and they're telling their story of their journey. So it's not some kind of random |
| 1:50.0 | decision we made. But I realize it's not for everyone. But if I gave you some homework today, |
