I started May 2023:
3 months in: 1 beautiful baby boy 👶
6 months in: Moved family 1,115 miles🏡
9 months + 10 days: First 1 million 🔥
Going for 2nd million by June 🚀
I am a very dangerous player in this game. I will always be underestimated because of my kids. My family life has forced me to become hyper efficient. There is a line you do not cross with family and work. You either let your kids be your excuse or become 99.9% efficient with
I used to be that mom who cried in the pump room at work.
Now I never have to sacrifice 1 second with my family. My newborn is never without me and my 2 year old gets to play with his mom in the middle of the day. The crazy part is- I make way more $ than I ever have 😝
I source by myself. Always have. I tried a few groups in the beginning but my scheudle with the kids was so radically different.
If you got that dog in you it doesn’t matter if you hunt alone or in a pack. It’s still time to eat. 🐺
Lone wolfs and anons- I got you.
I am prepping 4k units this month in my garage. I have no VA. I will be at 300k months consistently in Feb because this extra prep will add 5k in cashflow at the right time.
The goal is freedom. I will put in as much sweat equity as it takes to get there.
Average week now!
My first day I started, my secret goal was 1k a month. 30 days in my secret goal was 10k a month. Goals currently at 300k a month! WTF
Ecom has turned me into a crazy scaling person 🏃♀️
I have been lost in the scaling void!
I get moments of feeling afraid. Afraid I will not live up to my highest potential- afraid I will miss out. Amazon was the first thing I did in this lifetime in which I decided to actually try at life. To live up to my highest potential.
My take on the new placement fees:
I sent out 50 FBA boxes over 40lbs today and ran test numbers on all of them. I have a lot of data compared to new sellers.
.30 was the fee before. Average fee is now between .42-.56.
Set your selleramp to .60an item when you source.
Take
I run my business on a 18% profit margin goal. This is what I want, I have yet to achieve this consistently. I am happy if I hit 14-15% after all expenses. I take 10% on the chin and keep going.
I base all my numbers and spend on a 10% profit margin. This means I plan my
8 months in 💪 I will be hitting that 1 million mark in February 🤩
You can accomplish much more than you think you can this coming year. Make your goals HUGE and take small steps daily. Compound every part of your life 🥳
Boxes to the ceiling. Pouring straight sweat equity right back into my business baby at the opportune moment.
Your about to see 4m on my timeline this year. And an 8 figure seller next year
Here I come 😈
Running laps around the competition preaching how everything is too low ROI from them to complete. Here was my 12 hour day yesterday and my math:
12 hour day yesterday = 6k units prepped, completed every single case/admin task, sourced every new item needed.
Normal Math:
If I told you…
In 280days you could have the life you wanted. Financial freedom. Making 10-30k+ per month. Home from work with your spouse and kids. And all you had to do was work with every free second you have for the next 280 days.
Would you do it?
Month 5 on Amazon! 🎉 This is what coasting can look like with 2 kids under 2 and in the middle of moving. 1-2 hours a day:
75k revenue; just under 250k from starting
12,441.93 profit
+ 640 CC Rewards
+ 2 free leggings, 1 backpack, 2 soaps and 4 protein mixes 🥰
Still 11 days left and my goal was 65k🫣 85k new goal! INSANE! This is my 4th month and I never dreamed I would see numbers like this. Amazon has so much potential. Stop listening to ppl trying to bring you down and sell you stuff. Just learn it and do it! Your life will CHANGE!
PARENTS! I’m here to tell you:
Waking up with a newborn at night is harder than packing fbm orders
Potty training your toddler is harder than packing fbm orders
Stressing out about your bills is harder than packing fbm orders
Do the work for your family. Build yourself up.
I source every single day for 2 hours, always. This is how you build consistency in OA and how you find items.
I hit my spend this month already and my husband just looked at me and said how are you shopping right now with no spend 🤣
I'm convinced magic pennies appear when
For those of you just starting out- pick 1 model and stick with it. Pick OA. Wholesale and private label are shiny object syndrome for someone who does not know what they are doing. You will lose insane amounts of money if you do not know what you are doing.
Practice with
I have MASSIVE $$ goals for this year.
But I’ve already hit my most important goal in life. I am home bonding with my 5 month old and 2 year old. I have no worries for sick days, vacation days, or lost time with family. This is why I grind day in and day out. Freedom of time.
I don’t actually check my revenue compulsively anymore. I check sellerboard and each product to make sure it is selling what I expect it to.
Revenue is a great goal. Goals make life fun. But revenue will always be an arbitrary number. Don’t lose sight of your margin as you
I am a different person than I was 7 months ago. OA has changed my life and has improved me in every aspect. I now have the systems to make any goal a reality.
Our routine is settling finally. A year of absolute chaos was worth the price. I feel so fortunate to be able to take a mid morning walk with the babies.
We sacrificed all of our time and energy to build the future. This is the beginning of our empire and I am so excited to
I’m looking to start a group to source and grow together! Q4 is as great a time as any to find your group! DMs are open 😇 I would love to find people with similar spend power 🥳
Forgot to get the orange bars this month!
Took a brutal beating on my margin- only 12.44% at the end. Take home was 18k after all prep, fees, and losses.
Big lessons learned.
I’ll be grinding everyday this December to hit that 40k+ payout.
I can count on one hand how many sellers I networked with that are still alive and kicking a year later
Promise yourself you will be consistent and not cyclical. Cyclical people get absolutely wrecked.
Consistently always wins.
52 mini vacations a year. This is why we moved. Time freedom is everything. You are 1 hard day away from everything you desire in this lifetime. Repeat that hard day over for a year and you will wake up with everything you needed.
Do what needs to be done today so you can do
Huge mind shift happened!
I’m not in a selling business. I’m in a making money business. I grow money. Turn $1 into $2. Ecom is my cash machine.
All I need to do is repeat the process with varying levels of intensity and apply it to every aspect of my life. I LOVE THE GAME!
OA sales are happening now. You should be storefront stalking like a madperson these next days. You will learn 100x as fast sourcing OA while these sales are active than you will other times.
Get after it. Squeeze it in as much as you can. 20minutes here and there makes a
100k months are possible to do on your own. It is not an unreasonable number. You don’t need a VA to help you get there. You need to be the one to learn how to master every part of your business. You need to be your best sourcer, account manager, admin….
First UPS pickup this week! Every box 47-48lbs😅 My poor husband has had to haul 7 huge boxes multiple times a week 🫣 It was embarrassing easy to scheudle this. Lesson learned!

My account health is perfect. At around a million in sales is when I recieved the account health assurance 1000. I was less than a year in and have the highest account health rating you can have.
My only 2 rules I follow: 👇
Hot take:
Pumping higher volume makes more $ than lower volume with a higher margin.
300k months at 15% operational margin makes more than 100k months at 45% operational margin.
Change my mind 👇
Grinding over here non stop.
You don’t need time off to recover. You need to make the money so you can buy the time you want.
Sights set upwards 📈
Time for me to figure out how to scale to 500k months using myself.
Final numbers for prime day.
First Day: 29,240
Second Day: 29,236
The goal and vision was 50k a month ago. I will make a short video later today detailing out how in the F I sold this much without having extra inventory and the strategies I used to make the best of the stock
If sourcing is your biggest bottleneck, you need to spend every second you have getting better. Watch all the free videos, compulsively check all your inventory and keepa charts multiple times a day, and source until you find so much product you can not possibly buy it all.
New delivery driver today! He said I must of been drunk when I ordered everything. I said nope!
He then said thank you for keeping the economy going all by yourself 😂😂🤣
Hilarious! This is going to be fun!!
Weekend when your scaling:
Wake up, feed the babies, 20minutes on account health and repricer
6 hours in the middle of the day family time. We went hiking! 😍 phone with me to check in on account verification each hour.
Family dinner and game night
Ecom 8pm-12am
We went to Disney and came back RICHER!
I will be paid $1000 (in points) + 3 free hotel nights for this trip.
Cash flow was less than $1000 for this week long trip- and NO I didn’t use a bunch of credit card points.
I used OA skills to book this trip when the opportunity
You are only as good as your worse buy. Even if you have an amazing find, a bad buy will bring you to break even.
Stick to your sourcing criteria always.
How to Chad scale without sacrificing your family time:
1. Family time is
#1
priority. It is the most important and urgent item on your list every day.
2. Time block. 3 hours a day 5pm-8PM we are only family time. Both of us and the kids. Everyday something is planned.
Growing your business is CRAZY. It is literally, scale, scale, scale- then all of a sudden out of nowhere you are completely caught up with free time.
You have 0 free time for an extended period of time- to the point where you feel insane- which inevitably leads you to the
Stop falling in love with the idea you made it- what you will do once you have it all. You are wasting your time and your ability to get what needs done, done.
Do not get distracted. Do what needs to be done.
Let the people in your life spend the money. Let them daydream. YOU
The bar has never been lower.
Just do what you say you’re going to do.
Follow up exactly how you said you would.
No excuses. Everything is your fault no ifs ands or buts.
Fix it.
OMG. Here is some inspiration for all you grinders out there:
Last July I did 50k for the entire month.
In just these 2 amazon prime days I will hit 50k 🤯
There is not 1 motherfkn penny in this business that I did not earn from this business.
GET IT.
3rd month completed! Hit 50k this month and 75k total since beginning 3 months ago. It has been such a whirlwind. I started off with a little less than 2k from my savings account and it’s crazy how fast Amazon can grow. Keep at it- enjoy the hustle!
Feeling down these past few days. I can see my growth stalling just below 300k monthly until September time frame.
Entrepreneurs will understand this feeling with no explanation needed. Very high highs and very low lows.
It's irrelevant though. The work will get done, the
Do not get discouraged this week with all the wins on the timeline. Close down social and only source this entire week. Stay up late and get up early. You will learn much!
I am officially on the safety net team. I grew exponentially by weighing risk vs reward without over leveraging. I will continue to scale using these same tactics while having enough to cover immediate expenses on a monthly cycle. Not as fast growth, but necessary to win the game
To that seller stuck at 50k months right now. This is the perfect time for you. Your store is going to hit 100k+ in August. Strategize your spend right now so you can maintain the leg up in the following months. Your looking at hitting all your wildest dreams this Q4.
Foot
You should source from the brand and their authorized distribution lists.
You should buy your labels through Amazon, Veeqo, USPS, UPS, or FEDEX.
You should pay your taxes on time in full.
No grey area. Play by the rules or don’t play at all.
