TAS 078 : Shark Tank? No thanks! I’ll take my chances with Amazon FBA. – Cindy’s story of invention to eCommerce

Former bookkeeper and Australian mum Cindy Joins us today to chat through her experience creating a super-successful eCommerce business with an invention she created in 2010.

As a young mum, she had a need for a product no-one was selling. So she rolled up her sleeves, jumped on a flight to Hong Kong and in 4 days at a tradeshow found her future supplier.

She went all-in on her idea – her first shipment to Australia a 20” container. Shark Tank producers were keen to get her onto the show, and she was all set to give it go, but through a chance conversation with a friend, she discovered FBA.

From there it was ‘bye, bye Shark Tank’ and ‘Hello Amazon’!)

It’s an awesome story and I know you’ll love hearing about her journey from idea to commercialisation.

A lot of people have ideas, very few execute. Cindy’s one of the special few.

OK a few quick Announcements

A big ‘thanks’ to an all-star cast that came along and supported last week’s meetup on how to expand your FBA business internationally! Thanks to Phil, Luke, Ash Emma and Ben (That’s team Retail Global to you), of course, Remy and Nathan at Payoneer, Rosalyn Gladwin (Gladwin Legal) and Simon Clarkson over at Channel Advisor.

I’m planning a meet up in Melbourne in the next few weeks on ‘The advantages of Sourcing from India’, trying to squeeze it in before the International Sourcing Expo in Melbourne between the 12^th and the 14^th November 2019

The India sourcing trip was such a success that Meghla is already planning her next tour for April 2020. She’s offering an early bird discount which takes $500 off – it’s an amazing deal where everything is taken care of for you and you’ll find super high quality and unique products to sell on Amazon in niches which are not saturated.
