Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:
iTunes · Stitcher · Podbean
As a rule, we are not fans of dropship business models - and for good reason. Today Jim dives into why he almost never suggests to new online business builders (or even experienced online business builders) that they should get into dropshipping on Amazon, eBay or other major platforms. Let's explore the risks and tell the story of a guy who sold nearly $70 million dropshipping and isn't advising anyone to go down that road. We'll tell you what you should be doing instead though!

Listen on the most popular podcast platforms including:

Having a hot selling product that ONLY you can sell on Amazon is a dream come true, right?

Let's talk about how to lock in these great relationships!

We are in talks with a good handful of universities right now and will have more updates for you soon on this rapidly developing story. We were honored when Dana sought us out to talk about the MSU vision for producing successful entrepreneurs using our content.

Description
In this initial episode I address two basic questions.
Question One: Who is this podcast for?
Answer: It's for anyone wanting to start an online Internet based business or have more success in their online business. We'll have an emphasis on the three business models that we teach. It's the same models that we have used to create thousands of success stories in our large community.
Question Two: What is the foundational "secret sauce" that drives my success and the success of all my clients (even those clients who have a DIFFERENT worldview than I do)?
The answer is simple – and I reveal it in this episode.
