In this episode, we are going to go in a different direction.  It seems as people become bigger sellers or one day sell their businesses, they often look for other places to park their money.

He has developed quite the portfolio of properties with single family, multifamily apartments, and AirBNB. ...

Cash is the lifeblood of a business, and I have found that you never truly understand all that goes into managing the cash of a business until you are in the thick of it.  Especially in the holiday season, cash can be a constraint with the need to buy holiday stock levels, supply chain issues, needing to reload before Chinese New Year, and then tax season… There are lots of ways to fund growth and keeping the engine of your business humming along.  In this episode, I brought on Jacob...

Overtime, many sellers find that catalog management on Amazon is one of the most underrated topics in this business.  What is in some of the fields (that you might not even know about) can have a huge effect on how the algorithm understands your listing.  This in turn can have a major effect on your ranking, and can make a difference if Amazon suspends a listing because the algorithm suddenly thinks the product is in a category with heightened compliance requirements. And as you grow, it can...

One day you will no longer be operating your business, and it is best to make sure you are set up to exit on your own terms.  Or at least get the best possible value. Most of my understanding of the buy/sell process has come from speaking to people who have bought and sold individual businesses and from brokers. In this episode, I speak with Jeremy Bell, the head of Mergers and Acquisition at Elevate Brands.  His company purchases Amazon businesses as part of the “aggregator” model, and it...

One of the best (and most underrated) ways to grow is by masterminding with others.  I am excited because I have gotten the chance to see first-hand the power of connecting with others in masterminds from my two guests John Spellman and Brian Reintgen. They have taken part in a couple of masterminds I have been involved with or hosted, and I have seen them do great things as a result… including paying off their debt, launching new products, running a more profitable business, and just...

One question I get frequently is about bookkeeping. Starting out you can pull a couple of reports and throw them on a spreadsheet and be ok (probably). As you get bigger and add more channels, your business becomes more complex, and so does the amount of time you have to spend on bookkeeping (especially if you have multiple currencies). I have found that unless you have a passion for accounting and have an intimate knowledge of bookkeeping software, bookkeeping is one of those things you...
