Summary
Today's new interview is with a successful ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who was forced to find a way to earn an income "indoors" after having an accident riding horses. He'd always been an "outdoors" kind of guy, and he still is since recovering, but his Amazon seller skills are his primary income now and he's doing great!
He's a big fan of our coaching program as well as he explains, "I wish I would have started with coaching sooner - I would have avoided so many mistakes and would have ramped up even faster."
You'll enjoy Brian's matter-of-fact, plain spoken approach to describing what he sells, where he finds it, how he applies his sourcing rules to keepa and much more on today's all new episode.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, business building warrior. Welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio. As we rapidly approach |
| 0:08.3 | 900 episodes of this show, I can't believe that we've done that many shows. It's crazy. |
| 0:16.1 | But this is really cool. The vast majority of those shows are interviews like the one you're about to hear right now. |
| 0:22.2 | But we've gone back to the students of our training and our coaching and said, hey, how's it going? |
| 0:27.5 | Tell us about your business. What's working? What isn't working? |
| 0:31.7 | Fill us in on your story. That's what hundreds of these episodes have been. |
| 0:36.3 | And you're going to hear it today from guy named Brian Bennett, lives down in Georgia. |
| 0:39.6 | He's been a coaching student for not too terribly long. |
| 0:42.6 | Now, he's goofed around on the internet and made a little money on eBay over the years, |
| 0:47.0 | but never got real serious about it. |
| 0:48.9 | As he shares today, he had a, he's more of an outdoorsy kind of guy. |
| 0:52.5 | He's like a guy that can build a house, break a horse, work on a farm kind of guy, |
| 0:57.1 | more comfortable outdoors than indoors. |
| 0:59.3 | But after an accident, it became necessary for him to find a creative way to earn some money online. |
| 1:05.2 | And that's become more of his main thing now as he approaches about $140,000 so far in sales for the year. Here we are, |
| 1:12.0 | about September of 2024. He's already got 140,000 in sales at great margins as he shares, |
| 1:18.0 | but he shares exactly what he does, how he finds his inventory, how he sources it, what strategies |
| 1:24.3 | he's using to do these things, and he dives into it very deep. But he made the transition |
| 1:29.1 | from being a guy who had basically zero technology background, no familiarity at all with selling |
| 1:35.1 | things online to starting to dabble in it a little bit, becoming very intentional. And this is his |
| 1:40.8 | main business now. He sells on Amazon, as well as eBay and Walmart, but those are |
| 1:45.0 | very much secondary. As you've heard his say many times around here, Amazon is the core opportunity |
