Summary
Our typical podcast episode is an interview with a successful student who has serious momentum or results, but we also hear from many listeners who say they'd like to hear with those who are just starting and struggling a bit. That's today's guest Ted.
He's made several thousand dollars in sales, but it's not quite clicking for him yet at the level where he'd like to be. He loves our community, he knows he's benefing in many ways from the relationships he's making and he's learned a lot as he's worked on his business, but today we spend some time diving into his story to find some areas for improvement.
He's a ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is finding his way - and I thoroughly enjoy these types of interview - I hope you do as well. It's a very realistic look at what it takes to build a beautiful business.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. This is Jim, host of Silent Sales Machine Radio, and I've got another great episode for you today with a guest. Most of our episodes do include a guest around here. And typically they're students of our proven Amazon course or our coaching program. And that's what we've got for you today. Another proven Amazon core student who started not that long ago. He's busy. He's got a full-time job, but in the |
| 0:26.3 | extra hours he has in his time, he's begun building a business. And he recently posted an |
| 0:30.3 | exciting update in our free Facebook group. There's a link to that group, by the way, |
| 0:35.2 | at silencejum.com. All these links will be in the show notes, anything we talk about today. |
| 0:40.3 | But he said, hey, just had a few great sales days and celebrated with the community and |
| 0:45.3 | everybody hopped on and said, hey, great job. |
| 0:47.3 | I reached out to him and said, hey, how do you think about being on the podcast? |
| 0:50.3 | I know you're new. |
| 0:51.3 | I know you're just getting your feet under you, but let's tell your story. |
| 0:55.4 | Because we've heard from many listeners to this program, if you've listened to more than 15, 20 episodes. |
| 1:01.5 | There's a theme here. It's a lot of success stories. In some cases, people who've built massive |
| 1:06.3 | businesses, in some cases very quickly. And then it's other people who are in those newer stages of just |
| 1:11.8 | starting, still making some mistakes, which we all do, no matter how big our business is, |
| 1:16.6 | but they're still learning the basics. And that's certainly the case today with Ted. He's |
| 1:21.3 | learning the basics. Now, he's bought some successful inventory, and he also uses, he's very transparent and tells us he's |
| 1:30.3 | bought some really bad inventory stuff that sold slowly. He got overaggressive. He got too |
| 1:34.1 | excited, bought too much. I love talking through these kinds of conversations with newer sellers, |
| 1:38.9 | because it's the same journey we all go on, and I think you'll be able to relate to him. |
| 1:43.6 | He's using a virtual assistant. |
| 1:45.4 | He's got an interesting story how he found the virtual assistant. It's kind of working out and it's |
| 1:49.8 | kind of not in some ways. So it's a very transparent, like I said, story about how to go from |
| 1:55.7 | knowing nothing to getting some momentum, making some mistakes, having some celebrations, but having |
