There’s so much junk on the internet about making money with Amazon. It’s disgusting.    But the million-dollar question still remains:    Is there a 100% legitimate way to make money with Amazon?    To answer this question, I invited Neil Twa to the show.    For the past 9 years, he and his clients have sold over $100 million in physical products, primarily through the Amazon FBA sales channel.    And in this episode, Neil reveals his blueprint for building online businesses with Amazon FBA. Businesses that generate a very profitable (almost automated) six-figure income in 12 months... while scaling to millions in sales within the 18 months time frame.

Many service businesses don’t advertise online and they’re missing out.    Because there’s a practical and profitable way to grow your service business on the internet.     But the “trick” is doing it right. And that’s where most fall short.    To show us how it’s done, I invited Eric Rebelo to the show. He creates sales and marketing systems helping service businesses grow online.    And in this episode, Eric eliminates the shroud of confusion surrounding online advertising -  while also providing you with a crystal-clear framework for growing your service business online.

There are many entrepreneurs who could boost their monthly income by starting a coaching program.    But where do you begin?   And how do you know if you’re qualified?    To dispel the myths and provide a proven framework for starting a successful coaching program, I invited Drasko Raicevic to the show.    Drasko is the founder of the $10K Norm coaching program - helping entrepreneurs hit $10K a month consistently in 6 months or less.    Tune in, enjoy and remember to actually apply what you learn!

Biologically, as humans, we’re hardwired to avoid the pain of rejection at all costs. But as entrepreneurs, getting rejected is unavoidable. It’s part of the gig. And it hurts like hell!    But the secret is this:    How you RESPOND to rejection will determine your level of success.    It’s that simple.    Unfortunately, the reason why so many entrepreneurs fail miserably is that they have a crippling fear of rejection.     That’s why I invited Andrea Waltz to the show.    She’s a best-selling author and world-renowned expert of a powerful methodology that transforms rejection into success.    She’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs and selling professionals transform their lives with a powerful mindset “shift”. And in this exciting episode, you’ll hear how you can apply this mindset (and much more) for reaching higher levels of success in your business, faster than you ever dreamed possible.

Influence is an essential skill for being a successful entrepreneur.  But how do you influence, persuade and sell to others when you’re an introvert?  And how can you do it ethically, without sounding cheesy or feeling greasy?  My guest on the Project Ignite podcast is Dr. Carl Christman.

So take a step towards mastery by tuning in to this episode!

I can say from experience that joining a mastermind group can be one of the most profitable things you can do for your business. And perhaps, you already know this to be true for yourself.    But what about running your own mastermind group?    Have you ever thought of that?    Almost every business in the world can benefit from starting one. And so can you. My guest on this episode, Chris Williams, will show you how. He leads two mastermind groups himself. And coaches entrepreneurs on how to create and grow their own mastermind groups.    You won’t believe the secrets Chris generously shares in this valuable episode. This is definitely one you’ll want to listen to multiple times! Check it out.

Something BIG is about to hit the e-comm world and most entrepreneurs are oblivious to it.    I’m talking about “Live Commerce”.

A new platform providing tools and resources for companies to run live shopping experiences.    If you’re doing anything in the e-comm space, you should check this one out.

But hiring the wrong freelancer can be a total nightmare for your business and your bottom line.    The “trick” is finding the right talent for YOUR business.
