In this segment, Jim talks about selling books on Amazon and a new course in PAC that has launched that teaches another way to sell books: provenamazoncourse.com/safebookprofits Jim asks the guest to compare and contrast the business models - treasure hunting / Easter egg hunting vs. Replens.

The guest gives a word of warning about understanding repricing. Jim quotes Jim Rohn - "You can focus on the loss or you can focus on the lesson" Guest mentions one of our MST Coaches, Sue Pruett, and how beneficial an extra coaching call was with her. Jim talks about how people who have decided to go the coaching route have invested in themselves and so Jim and his team want to pour into them. "Once a coaching student, always a coaching student!" The guest shares about the unfortunate high return rate they experienced after Christmas. Jim mentions a service - that is available at mysilenteam.com/returns. Jim offers a perspective of "the big picture" rather than focusing on one specific day - "the movie of a month matters a lot more than the snapshot of a day!" The guest shares that despite some continued challenges, she feels the future is bright and she is excited about the possibilities! Jim discusses some future plans the guest has in terms of goals for their business! The guest shares how she needs to remember to not compare herself to others but focus on herself making herself and her business better! Jim reminds the listeners that there is a lot of value in other sellers who have gone before us and have the experience, wisdom and knowledge to share! Jim again quotes Jim Rohn: "Become a millionaire not for the million dollars, but for what it will make of you to achieve it"
