Shownotes

Funny as I wrote this title down (quote from Kyle) I realized that this doesn’t only apply to your ecommerce business. It’s your health both physical and mental. It’s your faith, wherever you are on that journey. It’s your relationships, it’s really your whole life. See this gets lonely and over time can create real challenges and they rear their ugliness in some odd place and odd times in your life. Get ready to get fit, get ready to get your ecommerce business back on track and join me in the FitCEONetwork group.

Transcript: (note- this is a new tool I am trying out so it is not perfect- it does seem to be getting better)

Kyle:                                      [00:00:00]               I have a rule of thumb that if I would’ve followed my entire business career, it would’ve saved me hundreds of thousands of hours and millions of dollars, and it’s this if I don’t feel comfortable having you watch my children without me around, I will not go into business with you in any way, shape, or form.

Cool voice guy:                  [00:00:28]               Here’s your host, Steven feeders.

Stephen:                             [00:00:33]               Hey, great opportunity here, right? You’re ready to buy. You’re ready to sell. Uh, if you could look for some cashflow, now might be a great time to jump back into Ra at one. Lots of people do it. There’s some people that that’s all they do. They only work this time of year, sell enough, and then take the rest of the year off, sipping drinks on a beach in Bali. Well, anyway, though, the outliers. So let’s talk about the rest of us, but if you want to add back, ran away, then I have a great group for you. It’s through amazing freedom. Our friends at amazing freedom. My friends had amazing freedom and it’s Gaye Lisby specific. She is an unbelievable teacher. And so what the deal they offered us through this podcast is two weeks free, so it’s a two week free trial, so there’s no risk to you at all.

Stephen:                             [00:01:15]               So it’s amazing. Freedom.com, forward slash momentum, hyphen arbitrage. That’s it. Okay, you’re going to get two weeks free. But here’s the deal. If you sign up now between now and September 15, so that’s coming up in less than two weeks by September 15th. If you’re a subscriber and you stick through to black Friday, you’re going to get Gaye’s black gold list. Okay? So the beauty of it, it’s a black Friday list, right? If you’ve ever went out shopping in a black Friday list, when you, we’d send shoppers out, we’d go to a whole bunch of different places and you get those peak items, great news. Now you can order a bunch of online too, which you also want to do, but to have a list in your hands, you go in, I buy these three items, boom, I’m out of there. Well, she gives you that list and that is a list they sell.

Stephen:                             [00:01:59]               It’s expensive. However, if you’re a member and you’re a member by September 15th and you stick your way through to black Friday, you automatically get it for free, so you got to act fast, try the two weeks. It’s completely free. See what you get. Look at those daily finalist and then say, Huh, for the small fee, it is a month. This is worthwhile for me, especially this quarter. Get somebody’s buying for you. Give them this list. This is what you’re going to invest in. This is a simple testing tool for you to see, hey, is this something I can be good at? Men, invest now, take the two weeks free and try it. I love it, love it, love it, and trust her. One hundred percent. She is such a teacher. Go check out our group. Okay, amazing. Freedom.com, forward slash momentum, hyphen, arbitrage. Know the other sponsors I want to talk about is sellerlabs scope and we just launched a new product.

Stephen:                             [00:02:47]               I’m very excited about it. It’s wholesale and private label combined for us. Kind of a bundle thing that we do. Um, but I’m very excited because we use scope to help me with the keywords because it’s such a big deal figuring out the key words. Are you going to rank for this? How do you rank for this? Well, guess what we do? We go like everybody else and we figure out what the top products keywords are and then we use them also. That’s what scope allows you to do. And so it’s such a great, great product for discovering profitable Amazon keywords. You can even use it for finding products to you can with fee, cow sale calculations, all that stuff’s included, right? And it’s, it’s just a chrome extension simple to use, simple to use. We use it. Um, if you could say 50 bucks by entering the code momentum.

Stephen:                             [00:03:30]               So sellerlabs.com, forward slash scope. And enter the code womentum save 50 bucks. That’s real money, save it please. And finally, I don’t want to Miss Karen Locker solution for ecommerce solutions. The number for ecommerce I’m forward slash momentum is our link that Karen’s been a sponsor, my show, I guess it’s almost three years now and it’s been phenomenal. The people that, uh, are still with Karen all those years, including me, I pay the same price you do. It’s because the consistency. Um, so many times, you know, I get these emails, hey stranded inventory report, boom. You know, I, I look at it but I don’t have to do anything because there’s a member of my team, somebody that we can count on to help my wife and I with our business so we don’t have to pay attention to it. That’s what I like, that’s what I needed.

Stephen:                             [00:04:15]               And so solutions four ecommerce care locker, her team, um, I get notes from all the time I launched a. I think I talked about this last time. I launched a ton of products. The same product that I’m using scope for. I sent her, here are the images here and now we do the key words. We do all that stuff upfront. She does a flat files for me. Boom. They went in. It was perfect. No feedback. I don’t have anything to change because it was done exactly as it was supposed to be, but I didn’t have to mess with it. And it’s nothing, I can’t, it’s not that I’m above it, it’s just that it allows me now to focus on this other piece. And so when you’re a small company like ours, when you have other people on your team working with you, we’re working for you.

Stephen:                             [00:04:50]               It just makes the difference. And you know, I’ve said it for three years, again, I look for consistency overtime and Karen’s given me that, um, is it perfect? No, Steve’s never perfect. And so she keeps me on track and really helps us when we need it. And so it’s been a great relationship and I’m just so proud to offer it. I’m a very careful about these things and I’m so proud to offer it. So solutions the number for ecommerce forward slash momentum, you’re going to save 50 bucks and it’s real money. Again, that’s real $50 by using my link. You don’t get that link anywhere else to save the 50. And she’s going to do an inventory, health report, storage fees, who got hit with storage fees, right? That just happened, right? A longterm storage because now their monthly, right? This quarter they’re going to be monthly.

Stephen:                             [00:05:33]               Well, by using Karen and her team, you can get that inventory health done, boom, pull back, which you don’t need or put sales on it, whatever it is. I’m Karen also does work on Ebay. If you want them to bring your listings over to Ebay using joe list or any of the other products. She does that kind of work too, but you got to use my link solutions, the number for ecommerce forward slash momentum. Save the 50 bucks.

Welcome back to the ECOMMERCE momentum podcast. This is episode 337. Kyle Brown. All right. Get ready to get in shape. Yes, we’re going to talk about health. We’re going to talk about physical health. We’re going to talk about business health.

Stephen:                             [00:06:19]               We’re going to talk about mental health. Guess what? They’re all related and kyle is a very, very busy individual giving quite a bit of his time and really, really appreciate it. Runs three businesses, very successful, big Amazon seller. So those of you are saying, wait, what are you talking about? Healthy? Oh yeah, yeah. Kyle’s a big Amazon seller, um, has been selling his own product since 2005. So then, uh, out there in the world on ecommerce since 2005, but also in retail and a whole bunch of other things, but he’s got a bunch of other businesses. One of the coolest things that we talk about is maybe not giving up what you’re doing because you love it. And natural tendency is to give it up because you’re doing something new. Maybe there’s a way to do both and maybe it’s important that you do both because guess what, when the second one starts to suck and it becomes a job, it becomes work.

Stephen:                             [00:07:09]               Have any ability to go back and, and reground yourself. Almost clear your head is kyle describes it. It’s a very, very cool thing and I think it’s really good perspective. I think this is a really good, good example of what can be and hear him that 2005, you know, here it is, 2018, so 13 years it took them to get to this place and he’s hitting his stride now, but there’s been lots of pain along the way and he realized it and so he took and did something about it and I think that’s the real lesson here. So let’s get into that podcast. Alright, welcome back to the ECOMMERCE momentum podcast. We’re excited about today’s guest because this is a gentleman who is built a very, very strong business based on something he loves and something needs gifted APP, but it, it just fascinates me how far he’s taken in such a short period of time. Kyle Brown. Welcome Kyle. Thanks for having me. Thank you. Um, and I, I don’t think that’s an inaccurate statement. You’re relatively young guy relative to me and you have an enormous business. I mean, it just. Is it still something you absolutely love?

Kyle:                                      [00:08:17]               It is what I was born to do.

Stephen:                             [00:08:19]               No kidding. Now think about that. How many people can say that? I mean, just nobody knows what you’re doing, nobody has a clue of what we’re talking about yet, but there is no, you didn’t have any ins, uncertainty. You didn’t even pause when you said that it just rolled right off your tongue.

Kyle:                                      [00:08:35]               That statement is true or not when it’s put to the test. And I had it put to the test in the strongest way as possible.

Stephen:                             [00:08:43]               I didn’t bat an eye on it. Well, I can’t wait to hear about that. So now kyle is a serious, serious athlete, a trainer, a big CEO, and we’re gonna. Talk about that. A coach celebrity coach, which I’m, I’m interested to hear more about that. Um, but has a journalism degree, which I’m always interested in having come from that industry. Um, and just really has a zest for life. I can I ask how old you are?

Kyle:                                      [00:09:17]               So I am 40.

Stephen:                             [00:09:19]               Are you kidding me, dude? How do you get looking like that anyway, nevermind my God.

Kyle:                                      [00:09:27]               The answer is I said five year using goals at 40. I’m a, I’m already in the process of setting my 45th goal to, uh, to be in a totally different level of fitness now. It’s not a low level of body fat percentage, but just new new goals, always new goals.

Stephen:                             [00:09:48]               It’s phenomenal. I mean, you guys see his picture, he is an upload this picture up and I’ll put the, the, the hot picture of them up because it’s unbelievable what you’ve been able to do and I just applaud you because, uh, in our Prieto we’ve talked about it. I’m trying to lose weight and muscle, you know, trying to build muscle and stuff. It’s, it’s, it’s a journey. I mean, it really is a journey, especially when you’ve not paid attention for so long. Now here’s the problem, Kyle, I’ve not paid attention for so long, but I’d like my body looking like yours next week. Is that possible?

Kyle:                                      [00:10:20]               Well, it absolutely is. All you need to do is chop off your head.

Stephen:                             [00:10:26]               No kidding. Yeah. My...
