Today's guest is a former mortgage broker who wanted to be home with her family. She wanted to build a business with them and enjoy a more flexible schedule while having no cap on her income potential.

She found what she was looking for with the REPLENS model as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com - she also took coaching with us and has built an incredible business!

Early on they made some common and avoidable mistakes such as improperly sourcing inventory, and they had a section three suspension, but they overcame that and other challenges quickly and really ramped up from there!

Stick around for the last few minutes of the episode today to hear an update about "The System". The System (aka 3PMercury found at SilentJim.com/thesystem) is the software that completely automated Khang’s $3 million replens business with 10,000 ASINs while requiring only a team of only 2 people! Hundreds of users are now using The System to successfully automate their ProvenAmazonCourse.com REPLENS businesses - and you can as well!

TODAY'S INSIGHT: "The System" will soon manage all your shipping challenges with Amazon and Walmart! So many exciting updates are being added at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE! Lock in your price while the software is in beta use!

Is Retail Arbitrage (RA) outdated? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, Brian and Robin Joy dismantle the myths about RA and explain why it’s not only alive—but thriving. Learn how RA can accelerate your Amazon business, uncover hidden inventory goldmines, and build your confidence faster than online arbitrage.

Plus, discover the secrets behind underserved ASINs, why buy boxes disappear, and how to capitalize on regional sourcing advantages without ever stepping foot in a store. You'll also learn why fewer sellers can mean higher margins—and if you’re tired of chasing crowded listings and razor-thin profits, this conversation will change how you view the Amazon selling landscape.

This episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio takes you behind the scenes of the entrepreneurial journey most people don’t show on social media—the messy middle. Join Brian and Robin Joy in Coaches’ Corner as they share candid stories about working through setbacks, building confidence, and keeping promises to yourself, even when early results feel discouraging.

Discover why success isn’t about plotting the perfect path but about taking the next imperfect step, testing one ASIN at a time, and learning to trust your own consistency. From the power of simple commitments to reframing “failures” as neutral experiments, this conversation will inspire you to keep showing up—because everything you want really is on the other side of hard.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What should I do if I get a 'cease and desist email or letter' from a brand I'm selling?"

Today's episode is specifically a list of the most common mistakes you'll make as a newer Amazon seller if you don't get some help and instruction.

It's not enough to watch a few youtube videos and start scanning barcodes looking for "flips". You'll wind up losing your account and you'll also find yourself very frustrated at how difficult it all seems to be. DO NOT ignore advice from PROVEN pros who know how to steer you in the right direction!

Let's talk about those common mistakes newbies make!

In this inspiring episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, coaches Brian and Robin Joy return from a summer break with powerful stories from recent coaching sessions. The message is clear: success doesn't require perfection—just consistent, imperfect action.

Whether you're struggling to hit that first stride or doubting your next step, this episode will reignite your motivation. Hear how simple weekly challenges, embracing the "messy middle," and staying in motion can double your business—even through vacations, setbacks, and self-doubt.

You'll learn how to:

1. Embrace “good enough” to gain momentum

2. Use small daily actions to achieve big goals

3. Apply the "Rule of 100" to outpace 95% of your competition

4. Replace hesitation with clarity through practice

5. Build sustainable systems around your life (not the other way around)

Packed with practical wisdom, personal anecdotes, and actionable challenges, this episode is your reminder to stop waiting—and start doing.

Listen now and take the next imperfect step toward your dream business.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If a brand really doesn't like me selling their items on Amazon, what should I do?"
