#1150: The sourdough starter

Most sellers sit down to source and stare at a blank page every single time.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy explain why your product database isn't just a spreadsheet, it's a living asset that compounds over time. Learn why the real game isn't finding products to sell, it's building (and feeding) the engine that finds them for you. Plus: the four layers of a healthy starter, why "I'm going to source" is like "I'm going to the gym" without a plan, and how to shift from hunting to harvesting.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If my bank statements don't show the full account number, should I switch banks?"
