I know that this is a term that can have different meanings for different people, but I also know that there are some common threads among those elite who have achieved incredible success in their lives.

So what are these common threads and how...

Time is universally limited: we’ve all got 168 hours a week. It’s the same for me, the same for you, the same for every single human being on this planet. It’s even the same for Beyonce. So, with limited time in your hands, how do you run and scale an online business like an Amazon store? Running a business - whether it’s a brick-and-mortar or an Ecommerce store - seems to come with an endless list of tasks and to-dos.

How do you get it all done?

I have been talking about brand registry on Amazon for some time now; OK, it’s been over two years. I am going to say I told you so, but also follow that up with a hug. I have been branded on Amazon since 2015. I genuinely believe it helps protect your account, brand, and everything else as an Amazon seller. I know some of you will be thinking, ‘I don’t want a brand; I don’t want to sign up for that.’ So, let’s talk about what having a brand registry means...

I know a lot of you are using the retail arbitrage business model to build your Amazon business. I used to do it, too. It was the foundation of my business for many years and there is certainly profit in it. However, when you go to a store, there is no guarantee that you will find products to fill your cart.  There are some pitfalls, most notably: time and business limitations.

The only income that we had was my eBay and Amazon online businesses, and they certainly weren’t enough to feed a family of five. Soon enough, we ended up losing our home because of foreclosure.
