Community Stream Annoncement
We had 22 votes split between Sunday and Monday… So I decided we’re doing both. I’ll be hosting livestreams on: Sunday, June 14th at 7PM ET Monday, June 15th at 7PM ET These won’t be regular YouTube-style livestreams. I’m going to teach them more like a real cohort session. You’ll get a preview of what it feels like to be inside the program, I’ll be breaking down Amazon techniques I haven’t shown publicly on YouTube, and I’ll also share more about my own journey selling on Amazon. If you’ve been curious about the cohort, this is probably the best way to get a feel for it before joining. Bring your questions. I’ll see you there. Comment "in" so I know who is coming!

Month 4 - May Report - First Profitable Month !
May Numbers : - Sales: $7,596.50 - Orders: 157 - Units: 160 - Gross profit: $940.24 - Indirect expenses (prep + software subscriptions): $390.25 - Net profit: $549 - Net margin: 7.24% - Refunds: 11 (6.88% refund rate) - Cash spent on inventory: $3,941.78 Last month I set a simple goal: have my first profitable month in May. Hitting that milestone feels really good, especially because it’s my first month fully on my own after finishing the mentorship cohort with @Anthony Mancini . The anxiety was definitely there, but the work I put in during those three months paid off. The buying decisions I made in April have started to show up this month in May. From a performance standpoint, I actually slowed my spending a bit this month. Life has been life-ing. Between my carpentry job and my commercial cleaning business, I’ve been working 60–70 hours a week, and that has definitely affected how much I can source. Even with that, I still managed to put in around 10–15 hours a week into sourcing. Some days just 1–2 hours, some days 4–5, and some days nothing because I was burnt out to be honest. One thing that’s becoming clear: if I want this to keep growing, I’ll need help. The goal is to get the business consistently profitable enough that it can pay for a VA to source while I’m at my day job or working my cleaning contracts. Realistically, a VA won’t be fully paying for themselves for the first month or two while they train and learn the software and techniques. If I can bring someone on in July or August, that should put me in a strong position heading into Q4. For June, my focus is to ramp up sourcing again and increase my spend, but be much more selective with what I buy. I want to push my net margins to at least 10% after all expenses. The last four months have shown me that this business really is learnable if you’re willing to put in the hours, make mistakes early, and keep refining your process. The first profitable month is a milestone, not the finish line but it’s a big one.

The Classroom is LIVE.
I just published The Canadian FBA Roadmap inside the Classroom tab. It's a full video walkthrough of everything you need to get started selling on Amazon in Canada: → Setting up your Seller Central account → Getting your prep supplies ready → Why you need a credit card (and which kind) → Keepa, SellerAmp, SellerBoard explained (with links to get set up) → The cashback stack that saves you money on every purchase → Understanding FBA terms so you're not Googling mid-conversation → Sourcing fundamentals → A "What's Next" guide once you've gone through everything Every lesson has a short video (1-4 minutes) plus written notes. No fluff. No 45-minute lectures. Just the stuff you need. This is free. All of it. For every member. Go to the Classroom tab and start with 1.0 Orientation. Work through it at your own pace. If you get stuck on anything, post your question in the community. The people who actually DO the lessons (not just watch them) are the ones who end up making money. Don't just consume. Take action. And if you finish everything and want the full deep-dive system (advanced Keepa, sourcing machine, shipping, ungating, repricing)... that's coming soon. 👀 Drop a comment if you're starting the Roadmap this week. Let's go.
How I Used $70K of Debt to Buy Inventory
I just posted a video on debt, credit cards, and using borrowed money to buy Amazon inventory. This is one of those topics people either avoid completely or use way too aggressively. I’ve personally taken on $70,000 of debt at one time for Q4 inventory, but the point of the video is NOT “go borrow money and buy everything.” The real point is this: Most sellers eventually don’t have a sourcing problem. They have a capital problem. You start finding products, you start building confidence, and then you realize the next bottleneck is not “can I find inventory?” It becomes: Can I afford to buy enough of it? Can I float it long enough? Can I pay the credit cards before interest hits? Do I still have liquidity if something goes wrong? That’s where credit card statement dates, FBM cash flow, lines of credit, and inventory quality all start mattering. Debt can help you scale, but bad inventory + borrowed money is one of the fastest ways to put yourself in a bad spot. My personal rule from the video: If your line of credit is the oxygen of the business, the minute you hit 50% used, that’s your sign to slow down buying and start protecting cash flow.

Is Ungating Important For Amazon Canada?
Short answer: no. This is one of the biggest things new sellers get stuck on. They open Amazon, check a few big brands, see “requires approval,” and immediately think: “Everything is gated. I can’t sell anything.” That’s not true. The big brands are usually gated, yes. But there are still products you’re allowed to sell. The real game is finding those products, analyzing them properly, buying carefully, and building account history over time. In this video I talk about: - Why new sellers feel like everything is gated - Why chasing brand ungating can waste months - Why ungated does not automatically mean profitable - How tools like CanFlip, Keepa Product Finder, and SellerAmp can help - Why you still need product analysis before buying anything - How your own ungated brand list grows as you source and sell If you’re using “I’m gated in everything” as the reason you haven’t started sourcing yet, watch this one. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/-c6eJ1Dd_Gk Drop a comment on youtube of a question so I can make these videos daily and answer questions. Sourcing videos and the normal rhythm will stay on tuesday/friday
