I haven’t said this lately but thanks for following and being here. Crazy there’s 1100+ of you. 🙂 Try not to get discouraged. Sounds dumb, but just being fixated on where you want to go is valuable.. ..even on the worst days with minimal progress. Thoughts precede actions

We just made it over $20K for the month. What’s crazy is hitting the $1k day meant more to me. Goals are funny like that. You aim for something thinking it’s what you want.. sometimes you get there and feel pretty much the same. A friend called it “the entrepreneur’s curse”🧵

It takes money to make money on Amazon. Don't judge yourself on not having $50,000 to throw into inventory your first month. Or just not wanting to throw that much on credit cards for something you're new at. Compound your gains over time, be patient, be persistent.

Can you succeed at Amazon wholesale without lying or bending the truth? I feel like the answer is yes, but you’ll probably have to work 4-6x as hard. I hate lying, there has to be a better way. Headed to bed but intrigued on what others will say.

This is what I think, but I'm open to being wrong if I learn more: For smaller sellers, higher ROI can help compensate for capital constraints. Speed to sale being equal, one turn at 100% ROI beats two turns at 30%. More profit on the first turn with half the transit time.

Beginning to think when a large seller comes on with a ton in stock tanking the price, it’s a scare tactic. Get all the newer sellers to sell off, prevent new ones from coming on, then they raise their price. Maybe 30% of the stock will sell at 5% ROI, the rest at 50%+. I
