    Should you persevere when you don't believe in your business?

    EXECUTION 
    I have never sold a product that I didn't believe in but I did sell a product that was outside my field of interest. This is how it happened: I was running my highly technical industrial chemical business and had no interest in manufacturing or selling consumer products. One Christmas eve a...

    Should you persevere when you don't believe in your business?

    EXECUTION 
    Having been in sales and marketing for many years I have no doubt that sales people who succeed really believe in their product, otherwise they struggle to sell it. Your self doubt and self examination could be the life changer that you need. It is probably time for you to do what you should...

    Intro, and a question on US manufacturers w/ logistics capabilities

    INTRO 
    There are not many manufacturers willing to do what you want. I don't know which of my books you have, but if you have LabelsThatExploit The Power of Psychology, Perceptions, and Emotions, you will find there only a few US companies that will do assembly work as an adjunct to other finishing...

    Be Importer, UPS and Amazon FBA

    Generally the Air Couriers will do that automatically, but freight forwarders will only agree to do it sometimes. If shipping direct to Amazon FBA I suggest you ask Shapiro to handle the clearance for you. They are expert in handling shipments to Amazon FBA. Scroll down to the Amazon FBA...

    General liability insurance?

    When operating my chemical business I paid a large fee to a lawyer for advice on product liability. He advised "protect your assets", which is what I did. Any legal investigation would have found that spending money to sue me would cost more than my apparent net worth.;) Ownership of all my...

    Should I sell single or multiple products in my niche?

    If you incorporate your website URL in your labels, or embedded in your product, you won't be contravening Amazon's TOS, but some of your customers will go to your site even if only out of curiosity. It would be a pity to waste that traffic, so I would display other products there. Give them a...

    Getting Started in Private Labeling.

    Hi Leecha14. The book is in your inbox. Suppliers of all the different label types are listed in the book. For a dog collar I suggest you look first at the labels shown and described in Chapter 12.13, 12.14, 12.16 and 12.17. There are other possibilities listed that you might prefer, but the...

    Dropshipping EU new vat rules?

    It looks like you are dropshipping. If so, you are sharing the same problem that worries many thousands of dropshippers around the world. Individual shoppers will be charged duty plus tax unless they come under the DeMinimis rules for exemption. I am puzzled as to why the goods are shipped via...

    China Freight Costs Exploded!??

    The rates for rail freight will usually work out at two to three times the cost per kg compared to sea freight, but the opportunity cost must be taken into account. Faster delivery means quicker turnover of stock and that can make more money than the extra freight cost. Even before Covid there...

    Does anyone has some experience starting a Franchise Company?

    I hope this works out for you, but be sure you don't do things that legally make it a franchise unless you have done everything necessary to comply with franchise legislation. These can include: Requiring the use of your business name. Requiring the use of your logo. Following your...

    Am I in the Wrong Business, or Is This How It Is? (Feeling Resistance)

    MINDSET 
    That's a good system. When I was operating my own business I did something similar, but it was more extreme. Every week or two I would sit down and write in random order a list of all the things that needed doing. Then I would actually think about each and number them in order of priority. The...

    Am I in the Wrong Business, or Is This How It Is? (Feeling Resistance)

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for your kind words. In answer to your question: I don't have a clue what I am doing. I know that I should be designing the site on a theme, and I signed up for Namecheap's "EasyWP" hosting, but having chosen a theme I was immediately intimidated by the EasyWP "Knowledgebase" with its 42...

    Does anyone has some experience starting a Franchise Company?

    I suspect that they have not yet given you an estimate of the cost of meeting legal requirements. You need to have at least your disclosure documents, franchise agreements, and operations manual prepared by or at least examined by a lawyer with experience in franchising. That process can cost a...
