I have a friend doing a ton of volume and he recently became a fan of FBA/WFS.
As many of you know, I am 100% FBM and I guess that comes from control issues after having had suspensions with both Amazon and Walmart
(And also Walmart being the absolute worst on multiple occasions with regating/other errors)
For about 6 months, our entire business was built around pushing as many units as possible to our prep center that was sending to WFS/FBA
Maybe we will give it another try soon 🤷♂️
A friend of mine recently had a post made about them where they have made $100,000 a month consistently for a while
Another person that I’m friendly with on social media made a post saying that they made $50,000 profit from Amazon FBA last month
I’m up next 🚀 🍞

One of the big weaknesses of my late 20s was worrying about having people understand my “story”.
Outside of my wife, and my Children, and a very small handful of other people… I have come to Just not care that much about Legacy, etc.
My goal is to just be. Not to have everyone understand why or how.
One mindset shift that I have had is moving from trying to help everyone “make it” alongside you.
And instead of realizing that it’s just too hard for everyone to make it to every level.
Many people will choose not to keep building after they make a little bit of money or have a little bit of success and many will quit after just a little bit of pain.
But those things weed out the crowd, and that is why there is so much opportunity if you push past and decide to keep building.
Loneliness and entrepreneurship is a real thing. I am incredibly happily married and have several close friends but continuing to push hard in my business past normal hours weighs on me.
In my experience, entrepreneurship has been very difficult. Worth it but not easy.

What level of hell is it where eBay sends me six notifications in under an hour about people that I’ve never heard of going live?
eBay…I do not care lol
I predict that Amazon and eBay type customers buying from third-party sellers are going to be increasingly more annoying and request more returns, partial refunds, etc. with increasing access to AI tools.
Soon if not already out there there will be some tool that promises to “get the most money back from your online purchases” and it will just be some annoying bot that bugs 3rd party sellers until they concede.
Advice to my future children if they choose entrepreneurship:
Pay attention to anyone who uses the phrase “I know this is boring but it works”
The more they say it the more you should pay attention to their message.
Amazon have had their lowest seller sign ups ever.
While the marketplace is still growing.
The biggest ecommerce opportunity right now is hiding in plain sight.
