On today's new episode of the podcast we feature a student turned coach who has built a beautiful business on Amazon(.com) in the US... from Australia! While Amazon does have a presence in Australia, it's so small there that most of our Australian-based students decide to sell only in the United States. The strategies we teach will work for you regardless of where you live! Today you'll hear how this married couple went from students, to coaches and how they manage the logistics of having a business based in Australia that never sees or touches their inventory that's being sold in the US. Building a real business is never without its challenges, so we love bringing you the stories of people who have overcome those challenges to build something amazing. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses the seller space scams that are "too good to be true". Jeff explains how to watch out for these alluring "companies" and how to avoid them. There's a simple test recommended by Jim and Jeff which will vet any company you may want to partner with and it's free.
