Just keep pushing hard. We are going to make this get to the next level and thank you listeners for bearing through this startup phase with us. Yet at the same time it shows us how much time it really takes to get started with Amazon FBA – or at least with Private Label.

Sure, we could have done this a lot faster with drop ship (well, tough to do dropship with Amazon), or retail arbitrage, or wholesale from USA – but this is our positioning. Global From Asia – we’re in Asia. I can take a quick flight to these factories, and we are doing it.

I’m excited for upcoming episodes where we will start to dig more into the marketing and sales and distribution side. So hang in there with us!
