Jennifer Hancock from HumanistLearning.com wants to teach you humanistic business management, which means you integrate ethics and critical thinking when dealing with team members, contractors, or even cranky customers. Stop rewarding bad behavior, and instead, examine how you respond (and what you reinforce), use confident body language, and finally, be calm, measured, and direct. Jennifer says that angry customers respond in one of three stats: a child state (where you respond that you want to help but need to wait until they calm down), an adult state (where they are calm and professional), or a depressed state (where they "ghost" you).

Sophie Howard from Aspiring Entrepreneurs sold one US Amazon account in mid 2016 for over 7-figures USD.

Dan Meadors from The Wholesale Formula sells products on Amazon. But he wasn't satisfied with retail arbitrage (buying products at discount stores and selling them on Amazon) or private labeling (creating a branded physical product). Instead, Dan works with existing brands to get them more reach on Amazon. He discusses his thought process (find products that Amazon doesn't sell themselves, sells 50-60 per month, and he'll start with a monthly volume of $500-$600 per month). Many times, Dan find some easy low hanging fruit and improves the product description, adds images and bullet points. He also looks for add-ons that complement that Amazon product.

Everyone is guilty of this at one time or another, even me sometimes... Getting too carried away and biting off more than you can chew... Filling up the "to-do list" (yuck) with way too much "stuff" Then, it's a huge distraction and that big long list becomes a thing you're scared to look at, or maybe even you feel bad when you do... I can also relate to my mindset ten years ago when even five minutes of money-making activities per day seemed like "too much work" for me... Send a quick email in the morning? I can't do that every day... People tell me to blog or post a daily video? How will I have time for anything else? "Forget about a daily podcast..." I expected myself to post once a day for maybe 4-5 days and then quit! Sound familiar? Of course it does... don't pretend it doesn't! So what changed? This...
