    I want something that's mine

    As some of you will already know through previous posts i sell products on Ebay and Amazon. These products are in the power supply category, and I rely on Ebay and Amazon for 100% of the sales. They are not products i can build a loyal follower base. I want something that's mine. Something i...

    Has anyone ever taken a David Bayer course? Or has previously used a mindset coach? If so what's your opinions on them? I've been thing a lot lately about how my thoughts, beliefs and previous decisions have led me to the position i am in now. As i go through the day i'm starting to notice how...

    Decision time: Outsource Fulfillment or Keep in house

    Thanks for your reply. We ship on average 4000 orders a month, the fulfilment company want £0.70p per item to pack. So to cover those costs i would need to increase sales prices by that for starters. That's if i couldn't get the product cost down. Our products sell for between 8.99-12.99...

    Decision time: Outsource Fulfillment or Keep in house

    It's time again for another crucial business decision. My warehouse Packer has handed in his notice and it means i need to find either a replacement or scrap in house fulfilment altogether and move to 3rd party. There's positives and negatives to each side. The two things that are casting...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I disagree. It’s an entirely personal thing. Some people are more happier and content in a cold climate and others a warmer one. For some the weather doesn’t matter, like yourself. My Father is also like this. There’s no magic thoughts or nlp technique that’s going to hack my mind to say that...

    I live in Liverpool. Not in the city centre about 5 mile away. It’s absolutely freezing at the moment. Can’t believe it’s March tomorrow and this is the weather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How do you compete with brand leaders when it comes to products on google. For example in the UK I just typed into google Travel Umbrella. Now there are numerous ppc ads at the top ranging from well known brands like House to Fraser to companies that only specialise in umbrellas. How would I...

    Yes the job situation isn't that great in Spain at the moment. I certainly wouldn't entertain moving there if i had to get a job. That's also a concern for the future of my children if there were no jobs when they got older. Then again they could always move back to UK if they wanted!

    My seasonal depression is well and truly alive and kicking at the moment. The weather here now is cold with most days 5-6 degrees at most. Every time i have to leave the house i curse at having to live in this country. The brexit decision (i chose to stay and not leave) will also affect whether...

    Time for most important business decision of my life.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. I've looked into outsourcing the fufillment and the costs would be more or less the same as i'm paying now for two staff members and current building costs. So there is no savings to be made. I need to start making a profit asap because my directors loan...

    Time for most important business decision of my life.

    Thanks for your reply. I haven't decided on option 2 on short term. Long term its 100% where i want to be but its just whether i take the plunge now or go with option 1 and gradually move into option 2.

    Time for most important business decision of my life.

    Hi I won't start a long story as to why i'm in this situation (part of it is documented in some of my other threads) so I'm going to cut to the chase regarding a decision i need to make this week. My business model is the sale of physical products online via Ebay, Amazon etc. For last 13 years...

    Why only certain people "enjoy" the process? (Or is it something else?)

    Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’ve been working on myself and my business. I’ve just re-read the whole thread and once again I would like to thank yourself and everybody else who’s taken the time to respond. I also hope the initial question has helped others who were struggling...

    Something is missing but I don't know what

    MINDSET 
    Yes more than likely. The thing that’s playing on my mind is that the longer we leave it the more difficult it will be for my children to adapt. They’re 7 and 9 now so it’s not going to be easy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I've got to fire my brother.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Time for another update and a lot has changed in the last 9 months. Maybe not financial wise but certainly direction of the business. Firstly my brother is still employed by the business (for now), i added him back onto the payroll in October. Not because i could afford it but because my Father...

    I'm currently still in same situation location wise, but i'm actively working on my business to enable the freedom and financial security to make it possible to relocate.

    I will help you find a product to sell on Amazon

    GOLD! 
    Hi @biophase i have a general query about product sourcing. On my Amazon course (ASM) we are taught to find products with BSR rank (300-6000) then improve on existing products which are higher quality, better images, more descriptive bullet points etc. (which is what you've alluded to in this...
