We are back with the SuperHero Lifestyle Podcast!! We have a lot we want to share with you as we have learned so much over the break that we had. We hope you enjoy it!

Work with us here:https://marketplacesuperheroes.com/origin-cWith over 30 years of experience in the business between us, Robert and I have pretty much seen everything and traded any type of market condition you could think of.So if you want to know how to bulletproof your business for the long haul, take advantage of the opportunities that now exist, whilst those around you are closing their doors.

Work with us here:https://marketplacesuperheroes.com/origin-cAs people who run multiple successful businesses,Robert and I have developed a ‘default position’ when starting something new.An attitude that ALL successful people have, and one that's served us really well!It’s a big frustration for us to see so many others make the same mistake over and over again...that stops them from ever getting started!If you’ve seriously considered starting a business then you’ll have already thought to yourself;Is it something I really want to do?You will have checked to see if you have the capital to start, and will it move you and your family forward?So why, having asked yourself these questions, and (likely) answered ‘Yes’ to them, do so many people…STOP and start to think up a load of reasons as to why they shouldn’t start the business???What if the costs change, or maybe I should try this first etc.If you’re serious about starting a successful business or achieving the goals that YOU have set yourself, then it’s time to change your default setting.Stop wasting time, and getting hung up on decisions that aren’t important.

Are you expecting enough of yourself? Many people go through life full of uncertainty and laziness, ending up with a life they resent. It’s time to stop hoping and wishing, and replace those with expectation and responsibility to get what you want and deserve in business and life.Work with us:https://marketplacesuperheroes.com/origin-c

"Wealth is about what you have in the bank, not what you owe to the bank"This mindset just doesn't work when preparing for the future of money...Yes, it is important to have some level of cash available for the cost of living and in case of emergency situations but money in the bank is not a measurement of wealth.Mainly the reason behind this is the governments of the world and their love to print more money.Every year they print more and more of it which is actually decreasing the value of the money in your pocket or bank account!Especially during the time of the pandemic, in the last year, the world money supply increased by 21%...This means that the value of your cash went down by 21% overall.Is cash trash?Money is exchangeable right now, we can earn it to pay for goods and services, but with the value of your cash dropping each year you have to find another way to get ahead.To get ahead of this deflation rate you need to be earning more than the 21% difference.Starting your own business can allow for this to happen, as whatever you invest has the potential to multiply well beyond 21%.We have plenty more to come on the topic of money, especially as we move into the future of it, so keep your eyes peeled for weekly episodes for more insights into the world of business and money multiplication.The future of money is critical, we must have multiple ways of multiplying our income otherwise we are going to be cut off under that deflation percentage.Thank you for listening and I will see you here again next week!

Welcome to our latest episode of the Superhero Lifestyle Show!Today we will be talking about the power of the word 'AND', how it has multiplied our business into what it is today and can do the same thing for you!You all know that we teach how to sell on Amazon FBA... but we teach so much more than this!We offer education on how to set up a side hustle that works to your strengths, we educate about how to operate in the rapidly evolving Crypto space and there is more of this to come, all along with teaching Amazon FBA.By using the power of 'and' means you aren't limiting yourself by choosing one 'or' the other. Have your Amazon FBA business AND your side hustle. Then your side hustle can generate income to invest in your Amazon business. This is where things have a knock-on effect and start to multiply!All of these endeavours support each other and it makes sense to work towards all-rounded wealth as opposed to lop sided wealth.Say you're selling a product on Amazon and you want to increase your business. You must add more products to your business to do so, you don't start to look at a new product and decide if you should sell your current product OR the new one...You want to sell your current product AND the new one, AND sell in more than one country AND you can even sell on more than one marketplace!You have to add to you what you already have in order to multiply, not replace what you have with something new.As we move into the future it makes sense to bulletproof your wealth, to ensure that it continues to grow.That is why as we move into the future of Marketplace Superheroes we are going to be talking about much more than just opportunities with Amazon, providing education on these topics with our own results ready to share with you all.It is a very exciting time looking at what is to come and we want to encourage as many people as possible to join our Facebook group and get involved in the free trainings!You have nothing to lose by joining the group or stopping by a stream, but everything to gain.We look forward to sharing our new opportunities with you and working together as the future unfolds.Thank you for listening AND we will see you next week!

Building a business on Amazon is a great opportunity to make money, but we’ve also heard the saying “it takes money to make money.” That may be true. However, the amount of money it takes to start is smaller than you imagine. On this episode, Stephen interviews Arun and Maya about their FBA journey, and how they went from zero to $5,000 in their first month selling on Amazon without investing a fortune to get started.

In today's episode, I am joined by a very special guest for us here on the show, Tatiana James!We have learned a lot from one another over the years and have had the pleasure of working together for many of them too!I am super excited to share this conversation with all of you listening as the value of the information you will be getting is in the $$$$'s!Tatiana is an Amazon FBA and Shopify Seller who sells her own branded products and is a master of tailoring the buying and product experience to satisfy the customer's needs.Make sure that you are paying close attention to what she does differently in her business than what we teach here at Marketplace Superheroes, it has made her a millionaire at 24 years old so it clearly isn't wrong! But, it's important to note that there is more than one method you can follow to be successful with an Amazon private label business.I know that I definitely learned a lot from my conversation with Tatiana, that's why I am certain that this episode is going to open your mind to new opportunities within this business model as well as inspire you to take action now!Tatiana said it herself that "we all wish we had started sooner". So the best thing for you to do is to get involved, start now and you will be well on your way to building a business that can serve you for years!So set aside the next 30 minutes or so, grab a notepad, lock in with me and be ready to gain some solid insider information from our special guest Amazon FBA millionaire Tatiana James!

Join Rupert in his discussion with Alex about how to start your FBA journey on the right note.Alex was able to make $4,398 in the first two weeks of his product going live on Amazon and he is certain that you can do the same.Alex talks about his experience coming into Marketplace Superheroes, what it was like as a total newbie, but that clearly doesn't stop success as his results show!He doubted the process at the beginning like many people do until they see the results for themselves, but when his first product sold out before his eyes, he had proven that the process works.What I like to take away from Alex's story is that no matter where you are starting from, you can have success in this business. And once you complete the process, all you need to do is rinse and repeat that process to multiply your income.He shares his experience with getting a coach to help guide him through this process and he puts those coaching calls as the reason for his success.We all have a lot to learn from Alex, he came into this knowing what he wanted. He sourced the right course for him and was ready to jump in the deep end. He invested in coaching to shave years off of his learning curve and as a result, his first product sold out within 2 weeks...Take your first step to success and listen to this podcast episode all the way until the end.It may inspire you to take action just like Alex did and you may even find the same results!

While me and Rob are working on some big things to come, I invited Rupert to interview one of our members who is smashing it with their Amazon business right now.She has been selling on Amazon for less than a year and already has her 5th product in the manufacturing stage!What is unique about Nikita's story is that she is in the business with her mum! They both have their separate products and businesses, but come together to share advice and exchange ideas before pulling the trigger on a new product.At Marketplace we have built a unique team and family of supportive sellers alike from all over the world, the fact that we are also bringing other families together is something to celebrate in itself!You never know, your family members may actually be really interested in Amazon FBA. I know that some people have had family members invest in their business to get them off the ground and it is truly great to see that support.Nikita has so much to share form her journey that this episode is sure to leave you feeling inspired!So be sure to listen all the way to the end and get fired up to launch your first product like Nikita did!Thank you for listening, see you next week!

In years to come, we’ll look back at 2020 as the moment that changed everything. E-com as a whole has boomed during the coronavirus pandemic. In this episode, we chat about the reality of online shopping post-covid and share some strategies you can use to make sure you remain profitable!

Rock Thomas teaches skills that didn't get taught in school in a mastermind fashion. He helps walk people through the minefield of disbelief they have laid around themselves to a brighter better life. Entrepreneurs Solve Problems - which problem do you want to solve in the world?The first step is looking at problems you can solve from your current position, what can you fix already before learning new skills?It doesn't matter where you are from, your upbringing or your education. You still have things you love to do and should be spending your time doing!Commit to learning everything you can about what you love doing and it will become your way of life.Take what you have from your childhood and add to it. You have things you are good at so flex those muscles now, but work on growing the skills you are not so good at and you soon be able to flex them too.Be prepared to work long and hard at the start and you will eventually learn the skills you need to cut those hours down, and start your own company or buy the business. You might be a waiter and start your own restaurant for example.This information is crucial to believing in yourself and breaking through that invisible barrier to actually achieving what you desire.Being passionately curious about learning is going to keep you moving forward with honesty and integrity and that can only lead to happiness.So if you are intrigued, stick with us until the end of the episode to learn exactly how to get into your 'genius zone' and live the most fulfilling life possible.

In today's episode, I talk about some of the many mistakes that Amazon sellers make that lead them to failure.By learning from others mistakes, you can get ahead of the curve and skip making them for yourself in the first place.Not only am I going to share the mistakes people make, but also what you can do to avoid them and ensure you succeed.Ever heard of the iceberg method?Many Amazon teachers are telling sellers to sell the things that everyone sells, the 'hot sellers' as it were. These are the things that  everyone can see, the top of the iceberg and these products are way too competitive for us to get involved with.We dive beneath the surface and look to sell the products that no one thinks about, that actually make up the majority of the sales and keep the iceberg afloat.So stay tuned and do the same with this episode, dive deep with us, take notes and avoid these mistakes to ensure your Amazon success!

We've been very excited for the future of money and the future of how we will be operating our business to keep with the times.Did you know that only 8% of the world's currency is physical?Financial institutions are becoming a thing of the past with the way the future of money is going.In the past, I had heard about Cryptocurrency and thought it sounded like a scam.But I only realised its potential after I actually did my own research into it more after a friend was having some success.Especially during the pandemic too, the world was forced to go cashless as shops no longer accepted it.The more we move towards a cashless society the more use we will have for Cryptocurrencies.There is huge profit potential in the Crypto space, but without a solid research method to follow, it is going to be difficult to find success.It all falls down to buy low, sell high no matter what business you are in.Stay tuned for this discussion as we dive deep into the future of finance!Join our Facebook group and keep your eyes out for our upcoming Cryptocurrency live stream on 22nd July, where we have some special announcements to reveal! Enjoy the episode and we will see you in the live stream!

"We all have to start somewhere and usually, that’s at zero. Many people strive to build a sustainable Amazon business and eventually hope to reach 7-figures. On this episode of the show, we welcome Jesse to talk about how he created a 7-figure Amazon business from nothing, as well as some great advice to help you scale up too."

People talk too much about winning the lottery and quitting their jobs than actually working towards making this a reality.Today, I am joined by Will, a valued member of our team here at MPSH, to talk about how to ACTUALLY replace your income and quit your job.This is exactly what Will was able to do by implementing what we teach here at MPSH.Make sure to stick around for the full episode, because if you're just starting out on your journey or have simply lost sight of the goal, then this may be exactly what you need to hear!Now, this doesn't just apply to Amazon, but to any Online business, you are looking to start.You should be trying to marry up your strengths to each opportunity to know which one you would be most confident in.As well as other requirements for the business like capital, the time needed or staff and resources.If the opportunity doesn't match up to your strengths or schedule you have a lot to learn and also to change, so it may not be the best opportunity for you to start with.It's all too easy to get sold on an idea and jump into it feeling hyped, but before you know it, you're working on something you don't enjoy or are committed to taking further.You have to know where you want to go in order to get there, so before jumping in, take the time to decide where you want to go and what path you will take to get there.There is so much more packed into this episode that no matter what stage you are at, you will find something of value!Enjoy the episode and I will see you next time!

How do we regenerate our business energy?The last few weeks we've been getting tired. It's not an excuse or anything but when a lot of people stopped working during the pandemic, our business went into overdrive!It's been a while since we last had a break, but what do we do in this time to get back into the flow of things feeling energised again?Robert - "if I'm feeling tired, I will reorganise my week so that Friday becomes a really chilled day. But then, when it comes around I always end up smashing it!"Stephen - "I've been putting my mind onto other things that are un business-related. Things like golf and music enable me to recharge and be ready to rock it when I'm back in the office."There are many ways to recharge but these are just the things we do.Your ability will be different from ours. We all have different levels of energy and it grows with time.Whenever you next say you're "tired", it means that you are resetting, your reorganising so that when you come back, you can do even more than last time!You've got to keep moving forwards of course, but you must be honest with yourself, you'll know if you've tried your hardest or given in too early.Listen to your body and allow it the time to rest when it's needed!What you should do next: SELF CHECK-INAsk yourself, what have you really done in the last six months and analyse it. Find where you've been missing the mark and change that around for the next half of the year!Get your rest, regenerate that energy and we will see you in next week's episode feeling even stronger!

In today's episode, Stephen explores 5 Millionaire Habits that will lead you to financial success."Getting rich old doesn't work" - The idea of getting wealthy when your old is not something we should be aspiring to. We shouldn't be waiting for our pension to carry us when we can secure our own financial futures.If you want to become successful, look for problems to solve. Build something or worth now so that eventually you can sell that business and have the capital to invest into other secure investments."The slow lane doesn't work' - The Slow Lane - Got o college, get a job, pay tax, buy a house, have kids, get married, save a small amount of money each month so that you can live off of it when you retire.You can't be waiting for your pension, you would be better off investing that money into something that can make you money while your sleep! Like an Amazon FBA business or selling digital products, even Real Estate can generate this kind of passive income.Learn the power of leverage."Remove the barriers to your success - What is in your way? Is it a mental barrier related to your belief system or a physical barrier stopping you?Change the mindset from "It's risky to start a business" to "When I know what I'm doing, it's not risky"."You have to have a plan" - What is your plan?Look at your income right now and see if you're making enough money to realistically start a business?If the answer is no, what plan are you going to put into action to increase your income? Start a side hustle? Work another job?Be honest with yourself, what is holding you back right now? We all have the ability to become successful, it just depends on how solid the plan is and how well you can stick to it.

What better way to spend our last time in lockdown than to start building a business that can work for you?Now we've got the time, let's use it!In this episode, we are going to share with you one of the greatest things we've ever created...If you want to multiply your Amazon FBA business then get ready to strap in and see what we have on offer for you!What is Freedom Level Income?Freedom Level Income - Producing enough profit from your Amazon business that it can take over and replace your current job income.The term 'Freedom' has been thrown around all too much and diluted with other phrases like, 'living on your won terms' or being a 'millionaire.When the question is, what is 'Freedom' to you?Freedom is personal to you! But a common theme is to disconnect from the man or remove yourself from taking orders from a boss.when you reach an income level that covers your current job income, you can begin to have more time to yourself.The beauty is, it doesn't stop there, your business will continue to grow, continue to make sales and grow your income.Be ready to get real, block out the time to listen to today's episode and work on your own situation. We can help you discover what you need to do to reach that Freedom Level Income.

The middle-class focus on saving. The rich focus on earning.If you think that focusing on cutting down your expenses and saving money is the way to wealth, it's not the route, trust me, I tried it.Don't get me wrong, it does make sense to have some savings, but that is not the way to build wealth. You need to invest your money into some sort of asset that can multiply your original investment for you.A great example would be Amazon FBA, investing in products that when they sell, double your original investment.But, this same way of thinking and investment strategy can be applied in other areas of business.We have invested money into growing an email list and developing digital products that we can make once and promote to these lists that then generate more money as a result.Are you trading time for money?Or, are you investing money into assets, so that they can work for you and make more money?This is the difference between the rich and the rest.It is wise though to invest time into learning how the rich think. Learning how they invest in different assets to get a multiplied return.So be sure to stick around until the end to get all of the top tips to grow your wealth!

"When was the last time you stopped to remind yourself why you set up your business? Is it for passion? Money? Fame? Freedom? Whatever your reason, it’s too vital to ignore. In this episode, Stephen shares his wisdom on the MAIN factors that drive momentum and unlock success in business."

Money is everywhere!You might feel like you don't have money at this point or that it is locked away somewhere?When actually, there are trillions of dollars circulating the world right now! It's not that the money has vanished, it's that it has moved to a different place in the world.Don't have guilt!The world has this view that the seller makes money and the buyer loses out.When it's actually a win-win!  Take SuperHero Freight, for example, a freight service we offer to our clients, We make money from Amazon sellers who pay us to ship their products. Then they save money as our service is much cheaper than a standard freight forwarder.Past doesn't matter!"The past is the past"Do something different today. do something different each day and it will change the trajectory of your life from where it is right now.Find someone you like and that you trust, learn from them and then implement what it was they taught you.There are many more points that I go over in this episode so be sure to watch all the way until the end!By the end of the episode, you will hopefully begin to have a few lightbulb moments and see what you need to do to get what or where you want to be.Thank you for watching, see you in the next one.

What stories do you tell yourself each day?Are you capable and able to achieve? Or are you confused and unsure of your direction?Either way, these are examples of the stories that we tell ourselves each and every day and they can shape the type of person we become!If your inner story is negative, it will bring you down. You may wonder why you are feeling miserable, but the story you tell yourself each day is responsible for your emotions.If your inner story is positive, it will lift you up. You may feel excited and confident, ready to take on new challenges.  The funny thing is when we are happy we don't tend to question why we are happy.But when we are down or sad, all we can do is point fingers at things we think made us feel that way.The reality is, we are responsible for our emotions. We have internal voices that are guiding us throughout our day. Some are healthy, some are unhealthy. But the balance is what makes us human.In today's episode, a leading member of the Superhero team Rupert is talking us through how to see if our internal stories are true.After identifying this, Rupert will guide you through how to rewrite your story. You can make it anything you want to be so why not write one that creates success and prosperity in your life and business.Get stuck in to today's episode and be honest with yourself, listen to your own story and see if it's what you want to hear?If not, Rupert will be able to help you rewrite your story and steer it towards a success-driven future!Watch all the way until the end to squeeze this episode for all its juice!

What do you need in place to start selling on Amazon?Fisrt you must have a business entity. A company, We advise that you set up an LLC (Limited Liability Company)This is important because having an LLC legally protects you and your personal assets from suspension or being taken to court.The next thing you will need is a bank account. This may be obvious, but the account needs to be in the name of the company and share the same address and the company too. It is important that you are consistent with your documentation so that there are no hiccups when it comes to getting verified by Amazon.Attached to thank bank account you will want to get an international credit card. This enables you to make payments to suppliers in China as well as to pay for Amazon's fees. Again, it is wise that the card is in the companies name so that everything lines up when it comes to inputting your details into Amazon.Setting up an Amazon Seller account should only be done after you have got a grip on product research and you have products on the horizon, ready to go!Now there are other important things on this list that you need when setting up your Amazon account, so stick around until the end of the episode to hear all of the top tips.It's only a short episode today, but it is still packed full of useful information! Invest 10 minutes of your time to ensure you are taking the correct steps to get set up properly.

To remain productive during this time there are 5 top tips Stephen has learnt by working from home.The first being - Power of Routine - People were not getting things done because the things they were used to weren't there anymore.At first, this did cause a little discomfort, but I realised that I am in control of my routine and so I went about changing it to fit with working from home.Create a morning routine to help get warmed up and ready in the morning, have 5 things that you are going to achieve in the day and then an evening routine.It's just as important to wind down as it is to get warmed up.Bonus tip: Don't blast all your 5 tasks out in one stretch. Break it down and spread them throughout the day.In times of stress, it is important to stay present. To achieve this I follow Wim Hoff's method of focused breathing. There are plenty of tutorials on how to use his method on youtube.The importance of fun!At first, I was just working working working... And I was exhausting myself.I realised that I didn't have a healthy work/fun balance at home. So again I changed my hobbies so that I could have fun at home.I stopped denying myself the pleasure of enjoying the things I like and started to embrace them.It's funny really, but when you start doing the things you enjoy, you feel better about doing the work half too!Speaking of fun, I want this episode to be fun. I don't want any of you listening to feel like this is a lesson or a chore that you can't wait to get out of!Stop trying to spread yourself too thin and just relax and enjoy today's episode.  Thank you for joining us here on the SuperHero Lifestyle Podcast today and we hope to see you here again next week! 

Today we will be breaking down how to make $720 an hour with an Amazon business, even in the worlds current situation. But before we get to breaking down the numbers, we want to first destroy a bunch of excuses that we keep hearing in the community as to why people 'can't' succeed with their Amazon buisness.Common excuses range from Trade Tariffs, additional costs when importing products into different countries. This is something everyone faces, only you are letting it be the downfall of your business. Incorporate the cost into your numbers and find a way to make it work.Another one is Brexit. Everyone lost their heads not knowing what was going to happen to their businesses. When it's simple, register to set up your VAT in Germany, the new 'hub' of the EU.The list goes on; Climate Change, Thinking Amazon Will Die, Thinking Ecommerce Will Die, 'My Supplier Says', Chinese New Year, Currency Changes and of course The Virus.As for Chinese New Year, this is something that is out of your control and is going to happen with you likes it or not. It is actually a great time to have a break from the frontlines of your business and return to some solid research.Like our research expert, Ali says "March is the start of my new year".Now we mentioned it before and we are not making light of the virus, however, it shouldn't force anyone to put their entire life on hold.Have you let the current situation affect your ambitions? It's okay, it's an uncertain time and we are all figuring out ways to adjust. But people are feeling depressed every day by the current circumstances and it's preventing them from focusing on their business. When in actual fact, having the business to work on and being part of Facebook communities like ours that are there to support you is what is going to keep you occupied and moving forwards. It's time we walk the walk and not just talk the talk.Make it possible, make it accessible. You have to want to make it happen!With that in mind, lock into today's episode all the way to the end, it's time to get motivated!We want you to succeed, let us help you get there.

First, you've got to get real and get clear. The problem I see with a lot of people is that they don't know what they want.How are you supposed to arrive at your destination if you don't know where you're going? Get clear on what it is you want and focus on it, but at the same time, you have to get real.If you want to make this actually happen, there is so much you are going to have to learn over the next couple of years to change your life around and get where you want to go.The best advice is to follow a pre proven process that you can implement to get there, just like our members at Marketplace SuperHeroes!You get what you deserve, right? So, do you deserve what it is you want?There's no such thing as a fake business... Amazon FBA is a real business and it must be treated that way. Take your business seriously and you will be rewarded as such.Another big thing people need to do is to change their language.Why do you say the word 'try'?You are either going to do it or you're not going to do it. So, decide if it's for you and get in with it.Look, I want to see you get results and to do that, you need to be building up assets now so that in 12 - 16 months, you can receive a multiplied income.Real income always comes later in a business.With that being said, the more businesses you have then, the bigger the figure you will receive!While I was doubting, other people were profiting.Ask yourself, what can you do now?What's that one thing you can do right now to move ahead today?Well, I can tell you...First things first, watch all of today's SuperHero Lifestyle Podcast episode all the way to the end to hear all of Stephen's million-dollar business lessons!After that, implement what you just learned. Get real and get clear.

Welcome, In today's episode we have the Queen of the team herself Casey Lynn hosting this special episode of WinYourWednesday! We have been blessed by a mix of our heroes today, to offer tips from the team!First up, we have Johnny from the superhero design team here to tell you all about the latest and greatest available at superherodesign.studio. He will talk you through everything they have to offer from fully branded design content for your Amazon listing to 360-degree photography of your products!If you want to upgrade your listing to the top tier, you don't want to miss this!We are also joined by Vihann, who is here to talk all about the art of negotiation with suppliers.You will get a full walkthrough of a conversation he has personally had with a supplier and you will learn the skill of 'never burning a bridge'. Remember, never assume anything, be cautious and always discuss details with he supplier but most of all, be kind!Next up, we have Claudia inspiring us all on how important it is to celebrate your wins! No matter how small the win is, it should be celebrated! As all progress is progress!We must keep track of our goals, Claudia will tell you how she uses a notebook to keep track of all of her wins and links an appropriate reward for achieving those things.As humans, we are programmed to remember the bad stuff, so that we can avoid it in the future.So, when you make a conscious effort to keep track of your wins, it's so much easier to build up motivation and keep you moving forwards.If anything lookout for this quote, 'We always know what we didn't do, but we forget what we did do'.Moving on from there, we have the one and only Mattew Keith showing up to remind us all about the importance of a healthy work/life balance.He brilliantly, points out how if one area of your life is suffering, then it most certainly will have a direct effect on the other areas in your life too!For example, if you stopped making money from your job, you wouldn't be able to fund your business. If you cant fund your business, then you may eventually struggle to provide for the family too and so on.Keeping each area of your life strong, Work, Business, Family + Relationships & Health will ensure that you are enjoying life through the process of learning and doing. As opposed to stressing out waiting for the magic 'big event' to happen.'It's not about the victory at the end, it's about the journey' - Mattew KeithCasey also makes the point, of how in today's "entrepreneurial time's" people feel like they should be hustling all the time and hustling instead of doing the things they enjoy. Even feeling bad about doing things they enjoy because they aren't working during that time.Throw out that mentality! You should do the things you enjoy! The more you are enjoying yourself in life the happier you will be overall. So even when it is time to get the work done, you are full of motivation to get it completed to the best of your ability.A rising tide raises all ships.Last but by no means least, we have the genius herself Christina bringing you all of the insider information related to HS codes & other specifics that a lot of people like to avoid.Christina is here to tell you that it may look and sound confusing, but it doesn't have to be!It is like a different language, and if you have never seen it before you will have no idea what is going on.We are here to help you learn that language and become so fluent in it, that you can communicate with your businesses needs and demand, clearly and concisely.We are so excited to be bringing this episode to the SHL Podcast, giving our treasured team members the opportunity to share their wisdom with all of you out there following along, making your business goals happen!The happier you are, the happier we are! So keep smashing it and enjoy the episode! Don't forget to download today's episode to show your appreciation for the team! 

7 make or break lessons from the legal expert himself Robert Wright!1 - It is and always will be about the product.If you don't choose the right product, it's not going to sell...That is why we have such a thorough research process, to ensure we have selected the best products for our business.A common mistake we see is that people find a product that doesn't exactly tick the boxes of what we're looking for but in their minds, they have qualified it anyway. They convince themselves that it is what they should be selling, even if the data says otherwise.2 - All about the numbers - if the numbers don't work, the product doesn't work.Sometimes you have to slow down to speed up.Be methodical with the data. It may take longer to secure the right supplier, but if it helps to ensure you are doubling your money it's well worth following the procedure!3 - Sell in multiple markets with multiple products.If you only focus on one market, it's do or die.If you spread across markets, you are only going to get access to more customers and make more sales as a result.We cover all 7 lessons in this episode, so make sure to watch until the end to hear all of the insider knowledge from Robert Wright about trademarking & brand registry that could take your business to the next level!You wouldn't want a box with cut corners now, would you?

Happy St Paddy's Day!

Today we have the 10 top tips to successfully launch a product on Amazon!1 - DO NOT SEND ALL OF YOUR STOCK INTO AMAZON"S WAREHOUSE STRAIGHT AWAY.If you do this, you are most likely going to face costs from Amazon for storing your product.Now, storage is a necessary business expense but you want to avoid Amazon's Long Term storage costs as these are very expensive and will cut into your profit margins.Instead, send Amazon approximately 4 weeks worth of stock, then when you need to top up, you can always send in more. This way you are going to avoid encountering any long term storage costs as your products are selling out in smaller batches.You will still need a place to store your products before you ship them to Amazon's warehouse, you can send them to your home but this isn't the most practical.You can use a freight forwarder, but from our experience with them, they don't understand how the Amazon business model works and it makes working efficiently difficult.We recommend joining us at Superhero Freight. We help to process and manage your stock in one of our warehouses after assisting you with shipping. This way we can provide you with our level our service as we process your orders.2 - SELL IN AS MANY COUNTRIES AS POSSIBLE.The more places you sell, the faster you are going to sell out. The faster you sell out, the sooner you will need to reorder so that you can sell out again!By shipping to as many countries as possible, you will be able to identify which country generates the most sales for you and then focus more attention on those areas, again increasing your sales rate.3 - NEVER LAUNCH WITHOUT A PPC CAMPAIGN.Amazon has millions of customers, you don't. Amazon is allowing you to tap into their customer base and offer your products. The most efficient way to tap into as many customers as possible is with a 'Pay Per Click' advertising campaign.This allows you to bid on certain keywords or phrases that people are searching into Amazon, the higher your bid, the higher your product will rank on Amazon when a customer searches for the keyword you have bid on.These may all sound like expenses to you, but form our years of experience, we have found this to be the most cost-effective way to do things while at the same time maximising your reach and returns as an Amazon seller.There are 7 more top tips to successfully launching your product on Amazon in today's episode so be sure to stick around to the end to make sure you get them all!Just by listening to this podcast, you are doing something to move yourself and your business forward. You're in the right place, now it's time to succeed.

WIn Your Wednesday! - Do you know where you are going? In business and in life?One key factor we've seen defines someone's success is that they have a plan.They have a rock-solid plan for their business like you would plan a car journey. You use a satnav or a map to find the best route. And then you know exactly where you are going and what to look out for along the way.This way of thinking should be how you approach your business too.Build momentum to see a steady stream of improvement.It's all within our power to succeed on Amazon.

Are you ready for some of the worst Amazon advice I keep hearing, even as we grow into 2021?Sell the most popular products only...Now ask yourself, do you really want to go up against the massive competition when you are just starting out? You can, but I'm telling you now that it's not a winning strategy. The way to success on Amazon is through selling lower competition products and more of them, in multiple countries.Other terrible advice I hear is to invest as little as possible to start...This is also a failing strategy. Do you want to receive as little as possible in return? No, you want to make the most amount of money you can, right?The only way to make this happen is to invest the necessary amount to get started and be ready to re-invest when the time comes. Be prepared to invest $1,000 - $3,000 to launch your first product.Don't treat this business like a gym membership. Don't just dip your toe in the water, understand this is a real business and in order to succeed you must behave like one. Get a Pro Seller account and start an LLC. Amazon wants to be more professional, therefore it requires its sellers to follow suit. Do what real businesses do from the start and Amazon will only reward you for it.Look, if you want to sell on Amazon, sell on Amazon! Don't try to mix and match the business model with something else and then blame Amazon for it failing.Be sure to stick around until the end of the episode to hear all of the advice out there, you NEED to be avoiding!To find the right advice to follow when it comes to Amazon, look no further than here. Watch any one of these podcasts or any of our Youtube videos and you will be on the realistic path to succeeding with Amazon.

It's great that you do, but you don't just want to be cheering people on all the time, we want to be cheering you on as well.I'm sure you've heard of 'the secret' before. A book based on the Law of Attraction.Now there is some truth to this, but the way the book was marketed was as a 'secret', a mysterious thing that no one has told you about before. The way to make things happen in your life.It is a great book for its principal but it misses out on the other half of what you need to do to get what you want. Which is actually getting up, going out and doing the things that will help you get there!You cannot just think a business into existence, you need to actually do the paperwork to make it legitimate.I believe there are the same 'secrets' around money that are hidden. The majority of people think they understand money as they receive a routine paycheck, but they are also likely the people who have no money left at the end of the month.But it's been hard for people to learn because it's been made that way. Didn't you grow up being fed the idea that it was rude to talk about money or to ask how much someone makes?Well, have you ever wondered why that is?For example, hundreds of years ago, wealthy families  that lived in huge manor houses would have many servants working for them. The family and the servants rarely spoke. This meant that the information the wealthy knew about money was never shared around or passed on to help those with less, get more.Instead, they kept to themselves. and it created the divide. Those with money were considered stuck up and snobby by those without it. In a nutshell, this would mean that the poor would never learn the 'secrets' about how to use money. While the rich stay rich and use money the way it is supposed to be used.Education reflects this too. It was and is there to produce workers for the government that are happy to receive a paycheck. That is why entrepreneurship isn't taught in schools just like money management isn't either.BREAK THE RULES!In order to get where you want to go, you need to think differently than the average person.You should consider yourself more than the average person if you aren't blindly following the path they have laid out for you and instead, you are making your own way.We're not saying that you should start looking down on anyone or that you are better than anyone else but you must rise up if you wish to get ahead."What's the least I can do?" - If you're not prepared to take a mitigated risk, you are never going to get to where you want to be.Many people are afraid to start a business because of risk. But isn't staying exactly where you are and doing nothing, the biggest risk you can ever take? Especially if your goal is to own your own business, you have to start somewhere!If you can't be bothered to start a company, you don't deserve to receive the rewards of having a company.People talk about things like they get it, they convince themselves that they understand things, even when they have never looked into a subject before. They cling to the smallest pieces of information they have heard on a topic and push these points to others.But when you actually know what you are talking about because you are living through your business, that is how you know you are on the path to success and that it is right to consider yourself above average!

My Story. I started as a Data Processor, copying forms by typing them into a computer all day, every day.I lost my goal to become a musician and along with it, lost my motivation and sense of direction in life."What am I going to do with my life?" Was the question I would keep asking myself.So I searched for how to make money.I found lots of people saying the way to make money was to teach other people how to make money. Ever heard that before? Promising Lambos and Penthouses...I tried many courses in this search don't they just didn't work and I felt scammed.So I moved my thinking to physical products. Trying Dropshipping to start with, but it just didn't make sense for a longterm business.A long story short - My Aunt, put me in contact with Robert Rickey as he had his own business, and I went to work for him in his warehouse.I remember thinking, "If I could just earn how Robert does this, I can make it work too".I began to work closely with Robert to systemise solutions to all fo the mistakes of the past in Robert's business.We sold the warehouse, let the staff go and moved out focus over to Amazon. Within 14 months we had a revenue of $1.4 million.We saw that many people were teaching people "how to sell on Amazon' and it was just rubbish. The advice was terrible and would lead many people to failure.So we decided that with our different way of doing things, what if we were to teach our method to people? And so we started Marketplace SuperHeroes!This, however, was a completely different ball game and to fit in we had to learn many new skills and adjust quickly.No longer were we just sat behind laptop making Amazon do all the heavy lifting, but we were out there networking, going to business seminars, webinars and spreading the word of MPSH as far as we could. Be sure to stick around to the end of the episode to hear the full story on how I went from Zero to Hero and how you can follow a similar path to success!

We're well into 2021 now...And a good thing to reflect on at this time in the year is, where are you at right now?What is it that you've got going on? & What do you need to focus on going forwards?"March is the start of my year" - Ali Product Research Expert.On a scale from 1 - 10 where would you rate your progress this year so far?After looking at your score, ask yourself, what do you have the opportunity to do, to move your score up 1 or 2 notches?There is always something we can do better, but we don't have to do all of those things suddenly at the same time."I put the crap at the start of the week so that it gets done and out of the way". - Robert RickeyEcommerce is still init's infancy. Cpmaore it to the high street chains that have been there for hundreds of years and are still going.If it was saturated, we wouldn't be growing our business each year.Make 2021 be the year you stop talking and start implementing.There isn't a magic button that you can push that will grow your business. You simply have to go out there and add more products to your business.We keep saying the same things, but we need to keep saying them in order to get the message across.As soon as you start to actually implement, you will be blown away by the speed of your growth.Be sure to join our Marketplace SuperHeroes community on Facebook and catch next week's 'Win Your Wednesday' episode live! Get active in the comments there too to be in with a chance of winning one of our weekly giveaways!Implement! And we will see you here again next week!

We have a great success rate in our community but not always the best implementation rate.Every day isn't going to be quick-time progression.There is a slow grind to implementing the correct procedure.A dead-end doesn't have to be the end of the road. It's a time to analyse where you've got to and think of a new path to take."The Curve" - To take the masters journey you must be prepared to ha=one in your skills but also accept that most of the time you will be on a plateau. This book talks about 3 mindsets that people have coming into a business as a novice.Are you a dabbler? - They approach new things with enormous enthusiasm, excited for the first lesson. But after that, they lose motivation quickly and stops going completely. Looking for the next think to go and start to fill the void.If you are a dabbler. The best thing you cand o right now is, seek out and join our Origin programme. It makes you become accountable for the work you are doing by checking in with a coach each week.The follow-through is sweeter than the pain of quitting.Are you an obsessive? - A Bottom line type of person. Results are what counts no matter what. They start out making great progress but when they find themselves on a plateau they cannot accept that they are not moving forwards and break down.The result of the dopamine rush of sales.The internet is built around taking shortcuts and speeding things up. but the reality is, not everything is instant. It takes time to put the work in and build momentum up.Are you the hacker? - After sort of getting this hang of it, they are happy to keep that little piece of the pie and stay sat on a plateau with no ambition of growing further. they are content that they have made it, just because they have taken the first step. Essentially a lazy businessman.You know the stuff we're talking about works and will work. You just have to stick to it and take the time to make it actually happen.Look at the year on year not the day on day. Change year on year not day by day.Gradual growth on your revenue, your profits and on you as a person is what is necessary to become successful. 

WYW - Win Your Wednesday!We're not going to change.We will continue to hold you guys accountable for your actions.That is what Robert did for me when we first joined forces and it was crucial for me to get real with myself.You are the ones that will make your business successful or not but we are happy to help in any way we can to get you there.We love our community and remember we do want what's best for you. Even if that requires a little bit of tough love sometimes.We're never trying to scare you away, but we do want to shock you. Because it shows that we are serious about the advice we are giving you.Sometimes we need a little shock to wake up and see the bigger picture in front of us.We give a sh*t about you!I'd rather someone fly to Ireland to meet me and say you are a complete arse but thank you for your brutal honesty because I am much more successful now.Then someone saying 'I love your Robert' and doing nothing with the advice I have given them.I'm not here to be liked. I am here to help you make your business more successful.I am only this way because I didn't waste time getting things done. And if you don't want to waste time either then be prepared to hear my answer.You may get the hard truth...And it may not be what you want to hear...But it's probably exactly what you need to hear.So stay tuned, lock yourself in and be ready to face the truth and grow tremendously as a result!

You will have to invest! If you're not prepared to invest at any level you can, you're not going to be successful.You are going to be stressed. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. There are positives to stress as it can force you to get out of your comfort zone and take action.Whereas a lot of people often freak out the moment they get stressed and everything falls apart. You are never going to know what to do next. You just have to try new things.I am implementing the behaviours of those who are more successful than I am. Put one foot in front of the other and you will eventually get to where you want to go.Also, things will break! You need to learn how to fix them as you go and how to improve them to not break again in the future. If something doesn't work, you don't just give up. You need to learn from it and move forward.Constantly reinvent yourself to be changing and adapting to the times. And the same should be done with your business. Adjust them to fit what people want and need from them.The work is never done either. There will always be something more to do and something else to grow.This alone can be tough on your work to life balance. It is important to grow your business but not at the cost of spending time with your family and missing out on precious moments with them.You will feel lost too. You may know your mission and what you want to achieve but you may not always not what to do to get there. Sometimes you have to admit to yourself that you don't know what to do next and that can be very freeing. It stops you from forcing an idea into existence and allows you to look for advice on where to go next.Becoming grounded and know that it is okay to ask for help. If you don't feel like it applies to you, you don't have to listen to it. But the key thing here is that you made the effort to reach out to someone and seek advice. This is often looked over by many and is one of the main pillars of their downfall.No business is self-made. There are always people involved in all areas. Stop trying to go at it alone when there are millions of people looking to help.

Ecommerce sales are not slowing down, they are continuing to multiply!A lot of people have more time on their hands. And we need to get realistic about putting those time blocks into that free time, to get ahead with your business."For me personally, productivity levels have been at an all-time high". - Stephen SomersDue to things like commuting to work, that we had to do in the past that isn't there anymore. I've been using this time to get things done and move forward."Bringing the fire is a way of life"! - Stephen SomersIt's about aggressively going after what you want to achieve in life or business.Sure there are passive elements to the Amazon business model, but a passive attitude towards it like, "I'll do it tomorrow" is going to get you nowhere fast.If you are trying to bring the fire but you are pouring water on the wood instead of gasoline, you aren't going to catch a spark.You might have pages filled with products, but if they are the wrong products, then it was a waste of pages. You aren't ready to light the fire yet. Get it checked by a professional that you are using the right wood, its position is the right way. The right product's in the right market, with the most suitable offering.You should validate these things before you are 100% committed to them to fuel your business.It is important to ask yourself these things to ensure that your fire burns correctly once its time to be lit.Also, do you know how to tend the fire after it has been lit? Or are you going to let it burn out of control?Do you have the necessary accounts and documents to keep up with your business? Or are you going to run a business without recording any information?We're glad that people are taking action and investing, but when they've invested in the wrong products. we know that if they had checked with us first, we could have steered them in the right direction from the start!This goes for anything in life but especially business. if you are not an expert in whatever area it is you are struggling with, bring in an expert.Get a professional who specialises in that area so that you can get it right, the first time!Why do we veer away from getting validation? Take the extra step to ensure your success.Get everything prepped and everything correct.No one is going to go after your goals for you.Embrace the new you that just goes and gets this stuff done!

The trust factor in our community is off the charts and I think part of that is to do with the fact that we don't always have a script.We have honest conversations with each other and let you guys in on them too.We are more than happy to invest in ourselves and our businesses to offer more and more products and services to help people get to the same professional level.Someone said to us the other day, " Your Youtube channel may not have as many subscribers compared to other Amazon channels out there, but what you do have is the 'real deal'. It's quality information.We would be doing a disservice to you if we didn't show you the full picture.I said the other day that we have a $0 salary as the exciting part of this game is to reinvest or to invest in something new.People are so used to working for money to come in that month just to go out again by next month.Whenever you tell these people that there is another way, a lot of them don't want to know what you have to say because it doesn't fit with what they already know.In order to grow, we must first accept change.if you are looking for a 5-minute answer to your questions, go to the other 'gurus' out there and listen to their nonsense. Whereas if we know the answer to your question is going to take an hour to explain we are happy to discuss that and take that time.But a lot of people just want the 5-minute answer so they can note it in their books even if it doesn't necessarily hold the most value.We love finding those people who are looking for a long answer. It shows that you are wanting to learn at the deepest level possible.Whenever you come into MPSH, you know what you are signing up for. you know what you are going to have to do and you know it's what you want to do... All that is left is to just go and do it!"If you can follow a recipe to cook a meal. You can follow a recipe to become a millionaire".Just do what is asked of you, put it into play and that's it!Product - Traffic - Conversion.People want to make it complicated and skip the time part. You can cut the time down, but only when you jump in and get busy!You might not want to get pushed in the pool but you'll enjoy it once you're in and swimming. And if you really want to become a top swimmer, you better start doing those lengths!

Staying motivated and focused in 2021 is proving to be a challenge for a lot of people whose working schedules have had to change due to covid-19 restrictions. Thankfully, I have devised a list of 5 things that you can be doing to maintain motivation in 2021 and beyond!Focus On The Outcome.If you're losing steam already, remember to focus on the outcome.What is the big thing you want to achieve with all of this?From there, you can break down yearly, monthly and weekly goals to work towards your big outcome!What is more important to you, staying in your current job or moving towards freedom or whatever it is you are looking for?To help you commit, write a 'Badass Statement' - " I am committed to making £30,000 a month" for example.Block It Out And Get Away.Say you wanted to write a book. All you need to do is take 1 hour each day to write 1 page for your book, that's not asking a lot. But, in 365 days you will have a 365-page book!A little bit of work each day will build up over time to something much greater than completing the task at hand.And to ensure your focus even further, get out of the house or your office. Go to a coffee shop or hotel lobby and dedicate your hour to productive work.Do 5 Things Every Day And Score Them With The 3, 2, 1 System.Write a list of 5 things that you want to get done in a day and then score them either 3, 2, or 1.3 = It's vital to your progress and it must be done.2 = It's important but not a top priority.1 = Not as important, could be pushed until tomorrow.This way you are 'cutting the crap' on what actually needs to get done and prevents wasting time on the less important tasks.Another tip, take Sunday each week to brain dump all of your ideas of tasks for the week.Why? Why Are You Doing This?Really understanding why you are doing something is the exact thing that is going to motivate you to keep going at it.If you wake up at 6 am knowing that you need to get your first two work blocks done at 6:15 am and you're tired, stub your toe etc. It will seem like a bad day at the time!But if you can remember why you doing that work, maybe your kids, your family whatever it is. Think about that and it can help fuel the fire inside of you and keep at it.Brainwash Yourself!Surround yourself with positive information, success books & business podcasts. All the things that maybe motivated you to start your journey in the first place?Forget about keeping up to date with all the bad news in the newspapers.You want to be filling your head with positive information instead, as that will lead to you having more positive thoughts and come up with better ideas!Create an environment that is better for you and helps you thrive.Those are 5 things that you can be doing right now, to increase productivity by staying focused and maintaining motivation towards the work you are doing.

In last week's episode, we talked about the Fallacy Narrative and living out the ideal morning. We discussed how we can't do the same kind of activities at the same time as we operate differently.Ask yourself, when do you function best? Early in the morning? Mid-day? In the middle of the night? Well, whenever you have the most focus, call it Business Stamina, is when you should be making time to get work done.Do you hate Mondays? Or do you like to get the big stuff done and out of the way for the rest of the week?There are things that work for me that don't work for Robert.So that means, whatever works for someone else may not necessarily work you and if it doesn't work, it doesn't mean it was a sham, it just means that their tactics don't fit for how you like to operate, so find other ones that do. Go with whatever works for you, but don't be afraid to try new routines or strategies to see if they make you even more productive!Isn't it great that there isn't only one way to be successful, there are many tricks and tips to help you get there and the joy is in trying new things are working out who you are.Thank goodness, everyone, on this planet is unique because if they weren't every single shop would be the exact same... What a boring world it would be!Think for yourself.Sure, you can seek guidance or advice from others who are more successful than you, but the best thing to do is to learn to think for yourself. Come up with your own answers, figure out who you are and what you have to offer.Florence - "I attribute my success to this, I never gave, or took an excuse".

I will tell you now, you do not need to jump off of a roof to be a best-selling author.Even though it had worked for someone before, it isn't what causes a successful author. Just because you get up early isn't the cause of success either...Sure it may correlate with your success as early in the morning may be the only time you have to work on the business.  Warren Buffets intake of CocaCola doesn't correlate to his business success.Just like if you start drinking CocaCola, it doesn't mean you will then have a successful business.Don't copy the outward traits, copy the inward traits.So instead of focusing on when they get up, focus on what they do once they have gotten up.It doesn't matter what time in the day you do it, as long as you follow the actual actions taken.You cannot just get up at the same time as me and research at the same time that I do to be successful, as we may have completely different schedules.You must take the principles and apply them to your personal situation. What causes success on Amazon? ... Products right?Well, one of the best ways to set yourself up for success is to complete SBA's.An SBA is a Success Building Activity. This would be things like researching, bringing products into stock or  reordering with a supplier.But you must be careful not to confuse Activity with overachievement. If you just researched for a year and ordered zero products, then you are still no closer to success than when you started a year ago.You must take the necessary steps to actually grow a business. "Sticking feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken."  - Robert RickeyIf you sat at your computer clicking through listings and not really focusing then let's be honest you arent researching are you?Focus up and do the actual thing that you are saying your doing.There is money involved in growing a business, so by investing in more and in better things and bringing things into the world is what causes success. When was the last time something was 100% successful?You must reduce the amount of time it takes you to go from IDEA to EXECUTION.Are you getting ready to get ready all the time?If you hear something that makes sense, get it into action.Don't go to the skyscraper, do things better and do things quicker!

How do you become smarter with your money?Today's episode will be short and sharp in the hope that you take something direct away from it.You must be smart with your capital from day one.We have been told for years, to put away $50 a month. But why put it away? Put it out to play!If you don't have money right now, it's probably because you don't have the skills or knowledge to increase value in the marketplace. offering a service or improving products to sell on are all examples of this.So invest in those skills first as they can make you the money you require.Leverage is everything! Why is it absolutely fine to invest in a house or in your education, but it's not okay and now 'risky' to invest in our own business?"The books I read outside of college are the ones that changed my life" - Stephen Somers.When you are doing business for yourself, you need a wider scope of knowledge, you aren't learning to be a cog in the wheel, like at school, You want to be learning how the wheel works.To make capital valuable, you have to understand how you will make it work for you. There is no point having it if you don't know what to do with it!You as an Amazon seller, you are leveraging other peoples skills all the time. You are outsourcing a factory to make your item, freight service to transport it, Amazon.com to sell the item etc...You don't need every skill under the sun to run a successful business, but you must know who and what you can leverage to make it work.Capital helps us to buy resources, it is us that then leverages those resources to male the plan happen!

2021 is right around the corner and we wont to share what our plan is for the coming year.We aren't trying to blow our own trumpet, but instead show you that if we can operate this many business projects at once, then you are certainly able to achieve your goals within your business too.When you chunk it down and get it out of your head and onto paper, you can begin to connect the dots seeing the bigger picture and avoid becoming overwhelmed.Make sure you are setting realistic goals and then be logical about how you execute them. You will need capital, so ensure that you have that first to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that come your way.We made our partner Ali's journey more public to show you what is achievable with your amazon business, as well as when you partner with us!If you are just tinkering, stop. Take a step back and look at the landscape.Take care in charting your course to ensure you make it to your destination goal with the best route possible.Don't give yourself an excuse to back out...In our freight community, those members that have been successful went in at the start and bought space in a shipping container that hey had no need for at that moment as they had no products. But, by owning this space, that held them accountable to take the next logical step of securing that first product to fill that space. You can make progress quickly with a narrowly scoped business.Isn't it great to come up with ideas that you want to execute? And knowing that with a necessary plan in place, you can expect it to happen.It is key that years are anticipated to grow your business, not months.Amazon FBA, is a low investment business with a very quick return. But people always want lower investments and quicker returns.Business is not a lottery, it is planned.When there's something fresh, its exciting! We can't wait to partner with you guys, connect and work together on growing your Amazon business and not just being a partner through shares.In Marketplace SuperHeroes, we have resources available to us that you don't have, right?But now we are in a position to able to share those resources with you so that you can leverage them to grow your business to the next level.Happy Christmas! & Happy New Year!We look forward to working with you in the New Year! Thanks! 

Originally, we partnered together at the start of all this and along the way we have partnered with so many people to make MPSH what it is today.When selling globally on Amazon with a Private Label style business, it requires more things form sellers these days.That is why we have created things like SuperHero Freight, to grant access to this professional standard of trading.We're not here to scare anybody, but to make you realise that if you are apart of our community, you are on the best route to success.When we work with people a bit closer and do some of the work for them, they are able to reach great success much faster.People are out there going at it alone that's why they are moving slower.It is better to have 10 products as a business foundation that can all continue to grow, than having 1 product that you risk forcing to grow so high, that it is much easier to then fall down.As we go into 2021, we have been doing MPSH for 6 years now. But now being able to partner with you guys and grow together will be life-changing for both of us.If you don't have the resources, you've got to go and find the resources to make it happen."The collar has got to match the cuff" - No matter what your expectation is, you need to be willing to put in the work to reach it.Let's partner in 2021 and let's build a serious business together!

Selling out faster on your units increases your power of investment.Make sure you are VAT registered in Germany!Imagine you had 1000 units sell out in a year. You are making 100% POI. But what about if you then sold 1000 units in 6 months time? This gives you the ability to re-order and continue selling. If you sold out again in that year, you would have made 200% POI as you have doubled the number of sales within a year!Are you thinking like a millionaire?Are you looking at the cost? Or, are you looking at how much you can make?We recently put money down into a warehouse in Canada. We could look at that like we are $750,000 down. But we actually look at it like we now have a $750,000 location to do even more business through!We are looking at how much the warehouse is going to make us in the longer run.Everybody has a choice, sales either vanish or increase...You have to choose one. You cannot just keep it as it is... Vanish or increase?A lot of people re not going to register for VAT in Germany in time, make sure you are one of those people making the sales in Europe when everybody else gets locked out.Short and snappy today as we move into the holidays.See you in the next one!

Everyone makes mistakes but if you can learn from it, it has become a lesson.Whenever you are actually doing the process your brain becomes active.Get a strategy in place and then apply the tactics to execute it.Segway with the right products!You can't just press a few buttons and find something, you have to actually put the work in to find the right item.Do not get frustrated before you have even started, take the time to research deep enough.Avoid a one product obsession, there are millions of products out there for you to sell.When you only have one option, you feel like you have to take it. But, if you were able to find one, you can certainly find another!Add products slow and steady to grow a sustainable business.There is no need to run before you can walk, segway often and dig up plenty of options.Remember to ask yourself, what can you improve on?Then, go over the course material and hone in that skill!

"Millionaire, I like the concept of the word but it has been overused and lost a definitive meaning.""A millionaire to me is someone who owns assets that makes their net-worth equal to or more than $1,000,000. It's not having $1,000,000 in your personal bank account."How to become a millionaire is a very high searched term o places like Youtube.It is easy to fantasise about the end goal when you haven't built anything or even made $1,000. So why are you jumping straight to 7 figures?Thinking "an event is going to make me a millionaire"... No.It is a process and once you do that process enough times, you can get to $1,000,000. But it takes time and work to get there.If you did have $1,000,000 in a bank account I would question how you obtained it in the first place as that is not how a millionaire would operate... It is way too risky to put all of that money in the bank when they will only cover you for up to $100,000.Do not think banks aren't monitoring who has money in and who has money out. They are a business that wants to make money, just the same as you and I, we just follow a different model.You could have $0 in the bank and still be a millionaire. An example would be owning 5 houses, each worth $200,000.It's not because our bank accounts contain millions. It's because the businesses that we own contain millions of dollars worth of assets.Take your mind off the 'Millionaire' thing... Focus on the 'Hundredgrandonaire' first.You can live very very well on a hell of a lot less than you think.People are chasing their idea of what the millionaire lifestyle is, for some that is scuba diving in the Bahamas drinking mojitos all day.We didn't rush into owning our houses and eating nice foods, we got ourselves yo a position where we could do those things if we wanted to.It is okay to want a nice car or an expensive watch, but there is no need to own 20 of them.Same for holidays, you don't need your own island, with a butler and personal chef to have some nice time off!More and more we have realised the importance to invest in quality.Being a millionaire is about owning assets that equate to $1,000,000. Is it necessary to get there to be happy? Absolutely not!Is it nice to have the money to live comfortably? Definitely.Get a perspective of what you want and go for that!There are moments in your life and in your business journey, milestones that you reach.Those are the things we should be working towards and planning how to get there.Enjoy the process too, there is no need to skip to the end. That is where you get the reward for putting in the work.

Grinding through things?Sometimes you have to go through an obstacle and not around it.Sometimes it's going to be difficult, and you will want to put it down for the evening. But in order to really be successful, you need to put the boots on and get to work.What are you prepared to do? Is your WHY strong enough?My taekwondo instructor said to me the other day - "I have failed more gradings for the black belt than anyone else in the world probably. I couldn't do the moves for ages. But, because I stuck with it and I wanted to get better, I was able to achieve the black belt".We give up too quickly when things go wrong.Why should it be easy? There is work to be put in and the value you put in is equal to the value of the reward.We need more sitting down actually doing the thing. Instead of sitting there thinking about why we haven't started yet.What's something you've worked hard at in your life, that you persisted through difficulties, until the end?How good did it feel getting that thing completed?Harness what you did when you knew that you were capable of achieving that thing. You still are capable, just don't give in so easy.When you don't have someone looking over you, it can be difficult to stay persistent.That's why your environment is so important, surround yourself with people who are also persistent and want to achieve, like our Facebook community Marketplace SuperHeroes!The champions always go the extra mile. The extra 5 push-ups in the gym or the extra 30 minutes of research can define a true champion.Where is the enjoyment in not challenging yourself?Once you have moved up a difficulty, you don't want to start playing on a lower one.How much grit do you have in your life?"Get The Grit & Hit The Grind" - Robert Rickey.^^^ Post this in our Facebook Group so that we know you've got the message!

For those of you who don't know, football manager is a game where you play as the manager of a football \ soccer club.We love it when for fun when we were growing up but also how it gives you a hands-on experience of how a business works.There are so many business lessons inside the game that you can extract.Players are like products. You cant play a match with only one player...You must build up a team, a variety of products that have strengths in different areas.You have a substitute bench also, where you have players \ products that are getting ready to launch and get playing.Then, your product research is like your team's youth club. You've got buds in the works, ready to grow into a valuable addition tot he team.Manager of the team. Director of the business. Same thing!Your scouts and coaches are constantly searching for new players to bring to the team. Just like how you should be searching for new products, adding to the growing pipeline.Even if you can't afford those winning players/products right away, it's still better to have them under watch fo when you can invest in them.Players don't last forever. Products don't last forever...Some players retire, some products sell off...As the manager, you must be able to emulate the results of those previous players, by adding in new ones.If a product is no longer selling, get ready to replace it with one that is selling!You've always got to be preparing for your next venture.If there is not enough fresh blood coming into the business, it will die.Analyse what is going on in your life and make the appropriate adjustments."As an unexamined life isn't worth living, a business unexamined isn't worth owning"Amazon is the most forgiving business we have ever seen when it comes to learning how to play. Thank you for joining us today!Let us know what you thought of today's episode over in our Marketplace SuperHeroes Facebook group!

There are different things than can be sold as well as different ways to sell them.Different types of selling as you may call them are; Private Label, Dropshipping, Arbitrage, Wholesaling, On-Demand and many more!You maybe like I was, having all of these thrown at you, trying to figure out the best one to get started with.Dropshipping is known as the 'no money down to e-commerce' when I see it as a 'no commitment down' model.Yes, it allows you to have as many products as you like on your website, but not all of them sell and the ones that do, you have no control over price or ordering more stock, if you were to run out.The product and the sale are treated as a commodity in this business model.Although there are benefits tot his model, I think people have been sold a false idea of what is actually realistic with a dropshipping business."It's like an iceberg, dropshipping is like the tip that you can see, but there is so much more that can go wrong underneath the surface".There is money down, otherwise, where are you getting your customers from?Just know what you are getting involved with before you get too stuck in.Arbitrage is where you buy items at a lower price than they are already selling and you then sell them on places like eBay or Amazon for more than you bought it and collect a profit.Again though, you are not in control of stock or the sales price and this can lead you to waste your time searching different retail stores to find something or nothing at all!It is, however, a great side hustle to do alongside a Private Label Amazon business as you are able to make some extra income while you wait. It doesn't have to be the business."Nothing is white or black or right or wrong. It's all about the grey bit in the middle".Have multiple strategies for making money, just like you have multiple products for sale.Don't limit yourself to be small, businesses need to expand!With an Amazon business, you are in control of the stock, you control the quality and price but you do not own the platform, Amazon does.The front-load of the work is only done once, then you can sell that product over and over and over again.If you had your own website you would have to pay for advertising to make a sale.With Amazon, you may not have to buy any advertising to make a sale as the customers are already shopping there. It helps to have a PPC campaign but it isn't necessary to make a sale.There are so many benefits to Amazon in terms of control compared to the other models.The other models are more like a part of the business, but it's not the start of the business.

People before Bootcamp Were not going deep enough with the products they were researching.1: Depth of the research - the type of product, not deep enough.2: Depth of options - Lack of options they gave themselves due to not understanding the numbers.3: Depth of understanding - What is required to succeed.Keep segway searching, keep going until something different pops up.When are we deep enough? When are we not?Ask yourself, could this product be an, as seen on T.V product? If yes, avoid it.Could this product be easily marketed? Is the product in everyday use?Asking yourself these things will enable you to see clearly if you should get involved or not.Emulate the customer - Imagine you had lots of options come back when you search on Amazon, you don't know what to buy? Don't sell there either.We're conditioned to believe that business is 2 dimensional and black and white in nature.When an Amazon business is almost 4 dimensional, due to the number of variables in play.If you go black and white with Amazon, you are only going to go so far.You are not a robot, you have the ability to learn and keep growing.Unlocking what you want and stepping up to make it happen requires your attention and desire to achieve.You are more capable than any software!People are always looking for the perfect product when that doesn't exist.No product is 100% and knowing that, that is okay is a penny drop moment.80% consistently is better than 100% inconsistently.You can try and search for the perfect product forever...You are watching other people get where you want to be, while you go nowhere.The people that get things in life are the people that do things in life.It will not happen if you just talk about it, you must do the work.Give yourself 5 seconds to make a snap decision, then get up and do that thing.Once you get something done, the results will follow. you will grow to industrious.Create that pattern!

We had to postpone our Irish Bootcamp this year, due to the unforeseen Coronavirus.After travel had become such an issue across the world and the seriousness of the situation had taken a full swing, we thought, what can we do for our members during this time, who want to learn in an environment like Bootcamp?So with the technology of today, we were able to operate an online Bootcamp experience instead!We made it small and intimate, to increase the productivity of everyone who attended.How can we help more people find more products, source them from suppliers and start selling them on Amazon?When you go to an event, you make the time to go. You take the time off of work and get a babysitter etc. You do everything you can to make the most of your time at that event and be as focused as possible.We found that, when our members tested out online event with the same commitment, they had the best results.Our Bootcamp wasn't intellectual entertainment, it was a place to enable practical learning to happen and to be implemented.We had people from all over the world make the commitment to show up to our online event, no matter what the time was, with no surprise they were the ones with the best results.We started with the research process and helped people tweak their understanding to find products even faster!'The penny dropped' for most people on the first day, they were then on a different level of research for the rest of the week! We were able to give people that confidence to be sure of what they were researching.People had great products in their lists, but they didn't even realise what they had until we showed them!Break down goals. it is good to be thinking long term, but you will get nowhere if you don't work on the short term task at hand first!We hope to see you at one of our future events!

Where we are now with our business would have felt impossible when we first started.If you'd have asked me 10 years ago, is 8 figures possible? I would have said, Yes, BUT... you seriously need to go to work to make that happen."The first $1,000,000 is the hardest"Depending on how you are set up, the next million is so easy, you copy and paste what you did the first time around.With any business, it takes a while to get it growing, but once you've got something, it can then take off.It's amazing how $100,000 in a year seems impossible, but when you divide it by 365. It's only $270 a day!Then, Once you get here, $100,000 isn't as bis anymore as you have already achieved it!"If you can do it once, you can do it again"There is validity in setting a goal, but it may only be based off, what you think is possible right now. When in reality, you may be surprised by what is possible when you but the work in."You can't see what you don't know"We didn't realise at first that, if you teach something the right way and well, people will want to learn from you.I asked my daughter the other morning, are you getting up to got to work? And she said, yes. It made me think, I haven't been to work in 25 years! I just don't see it as work when I get so much joy out of it.Even on vacation, your either always on the clock or you're never on the clock.The secret to our growth is we keep expanding our vision of what is possible.You listening, likely have no idea how far you could go with any business. But you have to start, get to that first $1,000 and the first $10,000 and build it from there.Anything is possible when you are willing to put the work boots on and get it done!

The majority of us don't really think or know about how the numbers work in business before you start one.Yes, you are buying and selling, but are you making a profit on your sales?At one point in time, we made lots of sales with a product, but where we didn't fully understand the numbers, we didn't end up making a lot of money with it.To understand thing like balance sheets and profitability within a business, you need to start at the top and look at income.Not your personal income, but the businesses income, in the form of sales, turnover. how much money is coming in...Then you look at the cost of goods sold, you consider all of the expenses that took place to get your product into the market. Like, shipping costs, referral fees, FBA fees etc.Then before you get to your Net profit, how much the business has made in profit total, you must work out the Gross profit minus any Overheads or Operating expenses.An Overhead or Operating Expense are things like storage costs, PPC costs, software subscriptions and accountancy fees. Anything that doesn't relate to one particular sale."Imagine the journey a product has to go on, what are all of the touchpoints that the product has to go through, from supply to the customer's hand. Think about what each of the costs would be for each of those points on the product's journey.""PPC is advertising, so yes it could have helped make a sale, but it could have also hindered it instead."Work on the top-level stuff, stop wasting time shredding paper.Don't be the caretaker of your business, be the owner.Running a business is like owning a car. You didn't need to know the ins and outs of how the engine works to be able to drive the car. But, if you know how to maintain the simple stuff, like checking the oil, you will be able to keep it running. It doesn't matter what business you are in you will need to know a bit about the Language of Money or you will have a hard lesson to learn later on.

Is there still an opportunity on Amazon?Is there still room for more sellers on the platform?Is it going to keep growing? or crash like a stock market?Firstly, whenever you really enjoy something, it's never really work, its fun.The Amazon universe is a fitting title as Amazon is ever-expanding."We thought Amazon was big when we first started and it has only grown since then".The niches are growing, the categories are growing and the opportunity to start selling is growing with it!They are selling in more and more countries,e expanding the customer base as well as the product catalogue itself.Amazon invested in themselves for years, in researching the economy of different countries to know where to start selling next and how to dominate that marketplace.By Amazon doing all of this work to expand across the world, you can take advantage of that and sell your product to all of Amazons customers worldwide!E-bay was the player back in the day, but Amazon slowly grew and took over! However, E-bay is like training wheels for selling on Amazon.A 1 Product business doesn't exist!The more variety of products you have, the wider variety of consumers your products will appeal to!it is then illogical to listen to this, to know this to be true and to not be taking action, implementing these strategies to secure your business into the future!

It is good to focus, to get stuff done, but there is an ideal amount of time to put into your business within a week.Too little and nothing gets done... Too much and you get diminishing results...It's not all about that one thing. Yes, you need to be able to focus on one thing while you are doing it but you must learn to be able to put it down pivot and pick up another task.You can't do 8 hours of research in a day and get a good return.You don't always have to find a product when you sit down to research, instead utilise time blocks by allocating time each day for research to happen."The start and the end of the business is the same no matter what business you are in. So after running a business once, you then already know it it starts and ends, you just need to learn what happens in the middle.""The 5th product you do on Amazon will be 10 times easier than the 1st product."If you are tight on cash and are waiting for your product to sell, not doing anything while you wait? Analyse that and start operating something that can bring in cash flow to support your Amazon business.Don't be a Hacker. Don't be a Slacker. Be a Backer!People who back up their business are going to be successful and they are few and far between, a fair reward for those who put in the effort.You can do more than one thing but make sure that the other thing is supporting your Amazon business.Get in there and get involved.If you want to grow your Amazon business but you don't have money, find a way to make more money that can then fuel your Amazon business.Go after your business, goals and targets with aggression and you are 99% more likely to make it happen than those people who are soft on their approach.

Can you predict the future of your business?When you get products into your business, they give you a Trendline as they start selling.This is across the board in all types of business and products... it doesn't really matter what the product is, it will start to create a Trendline."All things remaining equal" - "August is going to be equal to July".For example, if Coco-Cola sells 250 cans in one month, at a gas station. They can predict that they are going to sell 250 cans next month too!Trends do increase and spike quicker than when the trend dies out, as this is a much slower process than when a product is initially released.These Trendlines can then allow you to forecast the next month, 6 months to a year for planning your restock.Business is simple and should be easy to predict. Have confidence in the numbers.Your product can't disappear unless you run out of stock. But you have full control over restocking your products, soy ou can ensure that this doesn't happen."Every single product you add to your business provides more and more security."Keep emotion for time with the family and the kids. So when you sit down at the desk to get work done, you can think factually.Believe in the facts of your business, you do not lie and will tell you everything you need to know about what to expect in the future, just by looking at the past.

We want to share, what's gone into us getting to where we are now.Being persistent and sticking with something is how we gained success.20 years ago, there was an idea that it took 3 years to break even and 5 years to be established.With digital business, we can be profitable in the first year.With Amazon FBA business, the customers are already there, wanting more to buy.If you weren't utilising Amazon's platform, you would have to figure out how to get people to your shop in the first place.Amazon allows you to start a business with one product.Compared to a high street hardware store that would need thousands of products just to interest people.I  couldn't think of anything worse than doing this journey on my own.Find a partner or a team, join our Facebook group, start a mastermind group.Find someone to make you accountable for your actions.Be realistic about what you will invest because you get out of your business what you put into it.What's the rush? These things take time.Time is going to pass anyway, so you might as well build something that you want to build.

What's with the barriers?"Why do we keep putting up barriers in front of our own success. Then we complain about the barrier when it was us who put it there in the first place".Too many people have created a habit of something and they do nothing about it.People now days are trying to avoid failure, instead of embrace success."Forget about the fear of failure and focus on the joy of success".People want the rewards, without doing the business...'If you want something, go and get it"You are your own obstacle.How do you eat an elephant? - One bite at a time.How do you grow an Amazon business? - One product at a time.There is always going to be a time to put money down, in any business.Because you are the obstacle, you are also the answer!Change how you see things and get out of your own way.Ask, what does this require? Not, does this require anything?The solution is so simple. Get into business, take the step forward.You know what the answer is, you just don't like it. Learn to like it.Know that it is uncomfortable and do it anyway!"Chains of habits are too light to be felt until they are too strong to be broken" - Warren Buffet.

Some advice and ideas in our business careers, that got us from where we were to where we are now, and from where we are now to where we are going in the future."First big one for myself was Selling Online, as I came from a background of wholesaling and distribution".It's a very strong pillar in the business to be able to Sell Online.A piece of advice - "it's not the strongest who survive, it's the most adaptable'."The innovation that's out there and really being able to leverage it, is the aim of the game".Switch the playbook from team consumer to team producer."There's always room to produce something instead of just consume it"."Rule of 10. 6 inside the continent of EU, Canadian, USA, Australia and Brazil, is just around the corner"."Imagine 15 marketplaces, with 15 products for sale. Sell them at an average of $15, over 30days with 5 sales a day. That business has a revenue of $6million"."People think money is made in complication, it's not, it's in simplicity".You are not going to get the ball in the hole with one shot. You will need to play your shots strategically to score well."Learn to love small pieces of progress".Make small changes, but you are consistently doing it."I will keep going until... and leave it there"Win or Learn.Stephen King - " I hate writing but I love to have written".I'd love to have the work done so that I can go ahead with it.
