Summary
Today's guests have built a fantastic Amazon business with a very part-time effort.
They source their profitable inventory in various ways; via online sourcing, local retail and they are also beginning to explore private label products.
They are the latest of dozens of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students that I've interviewed lately who have succeeded in a big way. They also joined our coaching program about a year ago and attribute most of their success to the great experience they've had as coaching students.
Today's guests have an unusual partnership. He's a guy with a full-time job and his partner is a nearby friend/family member who is retired - but together their business is booming and they have so many tips to share!
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Can a seller actually get themselves into trouble with Amazon by reporting other sellers and attempting to build a case against other sellers?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior, have I got a treat for you today? |
| 0:05.7 | My name's Jim. I'm the host of Silent Sales Machine Radio. If this is one of the first episodes |
| 0:09.7 | you've ever heard of our show, let me encourage you. You need to listen to 10, 15, maybe 20 or 30 |
| 0:14.7 | even episodes to pick up on a theme around here. Because if you only hear it once, you may not |
| 0:19.5 | believe it. But after you've heard it a couple dozen times, it'll start to be, you'll start to be convinced. There's a lot of people |
| 0:26.5 | succeeding because of the stuff we teach on this show and we love to interview them. That's what we're |
| 0:31.6 | going to do today. I'm going to interview today, Brad and Georgia. Now we're using first names only |
| 0:36.1 | by request because of this job situation. |
| 0:39.2 | He didn't want to have his face out there either because he didn't want to put anything at |
| 0:42.8 | risk with his business, with his real job. So he works a real job. He actually has a good |
| 0:50.0 | family slash friend relationship with Georgia, who is a lady in her 70s who lives nearby, |
| 0:55.8 | and they're running the business together. So Brad and Georgia, they've got an incredible story. |
| 1:00.7 | He actually was introduced to our community because he picked up an old copy of one of my |
| 1:04.8 | books. Now that book is badly an even update. I don't actually have any current books right now. This podcast is |
| 1:12.2 | about it. So he references that. Don't go scrambling for the book. Make it up if you'd like. |
| 1:16.3 | But this podcast will keep you far more updated on what's going on in our community. |
| 1:21.5 | That's how he found us, jumped into our podcast, got into the proven Amazon course, |
| 1:25.7 | got into coaching a little over a year ago. And at this point, |
| 1:31.5 | Brad and Georgia have built a business that is doing about $30,000 a month at a really nice |
| 1:37.6 | margin and it's scaling quickly. Something I love about their business model is it's very diversified. |
| 1:43.0 | They've got a good handful of things going |
