I haven’t posted in a very long time. The short version as to why is that I stopped selling on Amazon and started a local service-based company that is growing quickly. Since my audience is primarily in the Amazon space, it didn’t make sense to post my progress here. (1/2)

I’m considering starting a new Twitter/X account to document my progress of the service company. If this seems interesting to you, let me know below👇 (2/2)

Every morning when I wake up, I check the seller central app, go to payments, and click "Pay Me". Doesn't matter if it's $100 or $5000, once that button turns orange, I'm pressing it. Section 3 was an eye opener where my money was held up for 5 weeks at Amazon. Never again.

Check your mins. Some of you have items checking in that are well below the current BB price and tanking items by as much $20+ I doubt these are people purposely tanking the price since these items had BB at lower prices months ago Likely they sold out and didn't change mins

Got a New Year’s resolution? Great! So why not start today? Waiting until Jan 1st only proves that you don’t want it bad enough. Don’t follow the crowd that starts on Jan 1st and quits two weeks later. There is no New Year’s resolution. There is only today. Get to work.

Lots of posts lately about what everyone is going to buy post Q4 surge. Cars, watches, etc. You are thinking about this wrong. You started Amazon to be free. Reoccurring liabilities are the opposite of that.

Spoke to several people who had Section 3 reviews and some had to submit hundreds of invoices/receipts per ASIN since they sold a ton. I had one ASIN with a quantity of 6 I had to submit receipts for. I would say I lucked out, but not really since it’s been almost a month and I’m still fighting it.

💊 Tough Pill #15: Most people know what shiny object syndrome is, but have you heard of shiny task syndrome? No? Let me explain. Shiny task syndrome is when you’re purposely avoiding the hard (but necessary) tasks that needs to be completed in your business and instead, refocus your efforts to something not so hard to avoid it. Once you’ve finished the task you jumped to, you jump to the next “shiny” task and avoid the hard one again. The process then repeats. More often than not, that task you’re avoiding is critical in some way to your business. Bottom line is the hard stuff needs to be done. Stop avoiding it and get the damn thing done.

I miss the city life and having everything around me, but living rural definitely has its benefits. Thanksgiving weekend was a blast with family and friends eating, laughing, shooting a bunch of guns in my backyard, and lighting off a ton of leftover fireworks. Great times.

Man, what a small world. The chef she's referring to in the tweet below was part of my friend circle growing up. She went to a different high school than me and was pretty shy. Fridays at the mall arcade was what our circle loved to do. Amazing to see she followed her dreams and is absolutely killing it!
She was my teammate at my first tech job, the only other girl so we were 🤞🏾 One day she stopped showing up and I called her—she moved to Europe for culinary school. She didn’t tell anyone so we wouldn’t talk her out of it. Followed her soul and won.

💊 Tough Pill #14: You can’t help those who refuse to help themselves. You don’t truly know what that means until it’s someone you care about deeply.

💊Tough Pill #13: You're playing with fire if you're not bookkeeping or have an accountant that's handling it for you.
Here's a typical breakdown of a profitable Online Arbitrage seller on Amazon. (First time playing with Sankey, so give me some feedback!)

Which one of y’all buying 10 Sonatas to get Hyundai ungated?
Some exciting news for customers: Amazon.com will be launching online vehicle sales in the U.S. next year, starting with @Hyundai. Will be part of our strategic partnership with them to help make the buying experience easier, add the Alexa experience into their next-gen vehicles, and help them transform their customer experiences and business operations through their move to AWS. Looking forward to inventing together for many years! aboutamazon.com/news/company…
