    What if you could turn a small product idea into a thriving, automated income stream — and eventually sell it for a life-changing exit? This episode unpacks exactly how to do it. In this episode of Sterling Insights, Roger sits down with Neil Twa, CEO of Voltage Holdings and a leading expert in building and exiting Amazon FBA brands. Together, they explore the world of e-commerce entrepreneurship, sharing valuable insights and practical tips for listeners. Neil draws from his extensive experience — over $100M in online sales and 1,000+ brand launches — to discuss how professionals can transition from the corporate grind to profitable brand owners, offering actionable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and financial advisors supporting clients on that journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone exploring new income streams, business ownership, or alternative asset strategies, providing both knowledge and tools to navigate this high-potential space. Key Takeaways: ● 🔍 Amazon as an Opportunity Channel: Amazon isn’t just a marketplace — it’s a logistics machine and data-driven engine that can create scalable income. ● 🧠 From Employee to Operator: Why Neil believes training operators instead of hiring employees is the future of sustainable, exitable businesses. ● 💰 Start with Demand, Not Ideas: Product success doesn’t start with invention — it starts with data. Neil explains how his "Greenlight" tool identifies winning products. ● 🛠 Build for Exit from Day One: Learn how to design a business that not only cash flows, but is also attractive to private equity buyers down the road. ● 🔁 Profit-Driven Priorities: “Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity.” Neil emphasizes why knowing your numbers and cash flow is key to long-term success. Quotes from Neil Twa: ● “We don’t marry our products — we marry the data that leads us to demand.” ● “Cash flow is king, revenue is vanity, and profit is sanity.” ● “If you're not prioritizing your time, you're choosing to stay stuck — change starts with where you place your energy.” 🔗 Conclusion: If you're looking to build a real, scalable business — or help your clients do the same — this episode delivers the strategy, mindset, and blueprint to make it happen.
