Hello All,
Welcome to my progress thread.
This thread's main purpose is to simply document my journey, keep myself accountable, receive feedback, and build momentum with one another.
Where to start.. well, I've been selling on Amazon for more than 6 years now but only profiting around $5k/mo which is nowhere near where I'd like to be. Very little progress in the past few years, and I only have myself to blame.
Why? I have simply failed to execute. Meaning I literally spent most of my time playing games and watching YouTube. That all changes this year forward. That's not who I am anymore. Here is my action plan.
Myself:
Without first making a plan to focus on myself, making a business plan means literally nothing.
Steps:
Business:
Fortunately, I already know the immediate path forward.
Steps:
The Baseline: Where I stand Currently:
Welp, that's it. I will try to post my progress each week even if it's nothing. Any comments you might have at any point in the journey feel free to leave them. If you'd simply like to tag along for the journey, I'd love to have you. See you in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.
