Episode description

Today's guest still has a full-time job and is taking online college courses... and has a young daughter but he's squeezed into the cracks of his life the Amazon REPLENS selling business model that we teach in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training - and it's going really well!   He started in the Summer of 2023 and he's ramped up incredibly fast!   He shares how he finds great inventory, the tools he's using, the power of doing some of your own shipping (FBM), the power of local relationships and also how he's well on his way to having a seven figure business.   *** On today's podcast episode, Jim mistakenly refers to podcast episode 756 when he meant to refer to number 754.
