Well, I have become a serial business book writer. Three down, with at least one more residing in my brain.
The 3 books so far are based on:
The first two books complement one another, and I am convinced that those who only buy Proven Global Sourcing, are missing out on something of great value that can help in the next step in profiting from those imports. I suggest that if you only have this book you should look more closely at what my new title Exploit The Power Of Psychology, Persuasion, and Emotions can do for you. See Contents List below for the changes.

They all have two things in common: 1. They are designed to guide large scale importers. 2. They exist in order to sell services such as sourcing, quality inspection, and freight forwarding.
Blogs by self-professed experts usually leave unanswered most questions that are posted. The blogs are rarely updated. Not that it would make much difference because the blogs already contain dangerously expensive misinformation.
My book presents the facts, but it does not teach what to choose, and is not designed to teach B2C online marketers how to sell the products.

Now to the book that reveals a shortcut to wealth by buying the only kind of franchise that I would recommend. I advise against buying almost all other franchises - instead, sell franchises.
It even caters for those who don’t have a business that they could ever scale, showing how to jump- start your entry into the rapid growth franchise industry, when you don’t already operate a business suitable for franchising.
It is the smallest of my books, at 32 pages, but if the ideas are adopted, I believe its value will be enormous. I have priced it at the same figure as my importing book, but if put into practice the ROI could be a staggering percentage with considerable wealth prospects.
I can’t make any promises, but I know it worked for me to provide an astounding lump sum that I would have struggled for many years to build by scaling the traditional way. Continually opening branch after branch with employees managing them would have weighed me down.

FREE COPY of my importing book is available for those intending to complete the source/import/resell process by selling on Amazon. Here is a link to the Proven Amazon Course (PAC) which includes a free copy of Proven Global Sourcing. https://ko296.isrefer.com/go/pac/whay/ It is an affiliate link because it partially compensates me for allowing Jim Cockrum to give away my book for free.
The 3 books so far are based on:
- A lifetime of success in sales and marketing, while designing, copywriting, and structuring all of my own advertising in both major businesses I established.
- Industrial troubleshooting involving solving problems that stumped the experts with letters after their names. One multinational, employing over 300 chemists worldwide had for several months been losing millions of dollars daily. I solved their problem in less than a week.
- Inventing chemical formulas to fix those industrial problems. This gave me an insight into a huge range of manufacturing processes.
- Manufacture and export of those products to countries all over the Asia/Pacific region, including the USA, in competition with the big US and German multinationals.
- Licensing the manufacture and sale of my products in two countries. That would today be legally classed as franchising.
- Safe product sourcing from numerous countries, involving visiting 19 countries over a period of 22 years.
- Importing, based on experience in the shipping industry beginning when I dropped out of college, and later, helping many new importers.
- Franchising the importing and B2B business after a year of massive growth had proved the effectiveness of our in-house advertising and marketing methods.
The first two books complement one another, and I am convinced that those who only buy Proven Global Sourcing, are missing out on something of great value that can help in the next step in profiting from those imports. I suggest that if you only have this book you should look more closely at what my new title Exploit The Power Of Psychology, Persuasion, and Emotions can do for you. See Contents List below for the changes.

PROVEN GLOBAL SOURCING 2023
Since first published in 2003, this has become the go-to manual for small and large importers. Some, in correspondence, have even referred to it as their importing bible. The only detailed publications I see online, dealing with sourcing and importing, are in blogs by a very select few people who have a good working knowledge of sourcing and importing.They all have two things in common: 1. They are designed to guide large scale importers. 2. They exist in order to sell services such as sourcing, quality inspection, and freight forwarding.
Blogs by self-professed experts usually leave unanswered most questions that are posted. The blogs are rarely updated. Not that it would make much difference because the blogs already contain dangerously expensive misinformation.

FREE COPY of my importing book is available for those intending to complete the source/import/resell process by selling on Amazon. Here is a link to the Proven Amazon Course (PAC) which includes a free copy of Proven Global Sourcing. https://ko296.isrefer.com/go/pac/whay/ It is an affiliate link because it partially compensates me for allowing Jim Cockrum to give away my book for free.
