Q1 RECAP
If you told me @ 19 I would be running a business doing a quarter mil in sales in 3 months, I would laugh and say you’re lying.
I was so lost. Dropped college with no clear plan. Just a lot of hunger and many people to prove wrong.
All Glory to God For Everything.

Seems like all everyone my age cares about is having fun.
All I care about is getting rich and retiring my bloodline

One of the hardest things you have to go through as an entrepreneur is learning to let go of anyone that doesn't align with the mission.

I learned years ago just because something can make you money doesn’t mean you should do it.
It’s one thing to want to make money, but the vehicle you choose to do that is the most important thing.

I don’t take anything for granted

I'll break this down, I have time today
“Buy low sell high” is so broad it becomes meaningless. By your logic Walmart, private equity, and real estate are all just arbitrage too.
The sales analogy you used is also meaningless.
Yes door to door, phone and email are all “sales” but nobody serious would say they're the same "sales people". One scales the other burns time. You can make money with both I guess, but aren't we in the business of making money? Why choose something you know is harder to scale?
The reason people separate RA OA WS and brand direct isn't to sound cool its because they have completely different scalability structures, risk factors and survival rates on Amazon.
Ok cool you walked into a store and found a 500% product. "OMG LOOK AT A BANGER I JUST FOUND LETS GOO". Cool can you consistently do it again? Finding a cheap product in store doesn't make it a business model it makes it opportunistic. A business is defined by what works consistently overtime not just a random lucky find on a Tuesday.
The term "dirty arbitrage Reseller, would you consider the biggest retailers the same? At the end of the day everyone is buying low selling high dude.
Amazon doesn't punish arbitrage sellers, they punish undocumented unauthorized unstable sourcing. That's the real distinction.
I'm probably just not that smart, or haven't been in the game long enough....but I've ALWAYS struggled to differentiate between OA/RA/WS/brand direct/OA hybrid,A2A, etc....
Isn't it literally all arbitrage?! Buy for low, sell for high...no matter what you call yourself or how you get product, we're all resellers who arbitrage the difference. It's like being a sales person who prefers door to door sales versus phone sales, versus email outreach; all are sales people!
There's brands I've bought through one large WS order, I've also bought them directly from the brands website, and I also bought that brand in store on clearance....I just wanna buy that product however it's being sold cheap that day. There's many instances I can think of where going in person to the store is EASIER to get the quantity I want versus other sourcing methods. So on those days we're buying in store!
I remember hearing WS guys talking about how they don't think "arbitrage selling" will be around in the future....and I'm like how is WS any different, it's quite literally all arbitrage selling, right?? One person's a cold caller hunting for deals, the other's an online shopper or in store shopper hunting for deals. Whether it comes from a clearance shelf or directly from the brand, we're all just looking to buy authentic products for cheap and sell for more. I don't understand why we bash one over the other...when it's the same hustle. Or am I wrong?
I vote that in 2026 we quit using these fancy acronyms to make our business sound cooler than it is and admit we're all deal junkies looking for cheap crap we can sell for more.
Unless you own the brand you sell, you're a dirty arbitrage reseller. Final!
