Episode 128: Passive Income on Amazon? It’s Time to Stop Lying to Yourself.

I’ve seen it over and over again — people jump into Amazon thinking it’s passive income. It’s not. And believing that lie keeps them stuck. In this video, I break down the truth behind the passive income myth and what Amazon actually demands from you as a seller. You’ll learn: ✅ Where this myth came from (and why it’s still everywhere) ✅ The real effort Amazon success requires ✅ How I’ve built systems to run my business in just a few hours/week ✅ My exact strategies for sourcing, cash flow, prep, and delegation I’ve built and scaled multiple six- and seven-figure e-commerce businesses — and trained thousands of sellers to do the same. If you’re looking for long-term freedom, it starts with the truth, not hype.
