#501: Traded in 4 hours of commuting each day to work his $50k per month Amazon biz from home
Today's guest has learned from the ProvenAmazonCourse.com course, our coaching and a lot of lessons on his way to building a business that allowed him to come home from his construction job and four hour daily commute. He also tells us today that his ProvenReplensVA.com virtual assistant is finding him more profitable inventory that he can keep up with buying! He made the VERY common mistake (before finding our community) of attempting to launch private label brands on Amazon as a new seller. As we've shared so many times on past episodes, the failure rate with that model is extraordinarily high. We far prefer that our students fuel their Amazon journey with profits that they earn while they learn! It hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows for our guest as he's learned and grown, but he's built something special and you'll learn many great lessons today!

#498: One man show with a VA just had a $140K month with Amazon REPLENS
Today's guest is the latest example of a student of the REPLENS model who is using a virtual assistant and a prep center to run an amazing business with flexible hours. With only four months notice that he'd be possibly losing/leaving his job, he had to act fast, so he jumped into REPLENS. Jump forward 18 months, and now as a stay home dad of three, he's never been more excited about the future than he is right now as his business continues to scale. "The less I work the more I earn", he says of his increasingly automated business. The business has grown to the point where his most recent month was $140K in sales at 12-15% net margin (before paying himself). If you'd like to learn these strategies yourself, we teach them in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com REPLENS training and in our JimCockrumCoaching.com program.
