SUMMARY

  1. Not only do we cover the big picture/philosophy. We are all about giving you ALL the details you need, starting from SCRATCH. We aim to have (almost) no unfilled gaps in what you need to know.  
  2. You don't need to follow Phases or modules you already have experience with. If you've already sold on Amazon, for example, and have an existing company, you can skip on to Phase 1. 
  3. All of the content is battle-tested by me, by my business partner, Rob Sleath, and by over 50 mentoring and mastermind clients over 2 years. Plus the strategies and tactics are continually updated with reference to our network of Amazon power (over $100K/month) sellers; and of course with my contacts with Amazon experts via the podcast. 
  4. We've worked very hard to get it in the right order initially. By the time you get the course, we will have also just taken on board multiple suggestions and tweaks from our Beta testers. 
  5. We'll keep updating it to adjust to changing reality. The good news there is: no further charge. If you buy now, you get access to all changes in future.
