I wanted to take a minute to share some resources and ideas with you. Here’s some of the stuff I’ve been working on, creating, and enjoying over the past week.
What I’ve Been Up To Outside Amazon FBA: Thinking About My Own Personal Time Sucks
Hate to admit this, but sometimes I realize I have an unhealthy relationship with sports. Let me explain this a bit. I LOVE SPORTS! That’s not what I’m talking about. It’s just that sometimes I realize how much time and energy I spend on it. It’s so exciting and compelling to yell and scream for “your side”, and even to bet on them winning.
What I’m examining though is what it’s potentially costing me. It’s more about this question, “What could I do with that time and energy that could be more productive? That could build the life I’m envisioning and working towards.”
I guess this just gets back to the idea of balance I talk about and think about often. It’s a fine line to figure out how you want to spend your time.
I’ll never give up sports in total, just have to do the math and decide is this more important right now than chasing my dreams…
I think sports has its place in life, but I know people, myself included sometimes, that check the ESPN app like it’s freaking Twitter like 20 times a day…this is unhealthy. Just another social media drug.
To me, it’s actually a lot about the emotional drain that watching sports does to me…I put my heart into and then by the end of the game, I am useless because I am spent.
How to Trademark a Name and Logo (w/o a Lawyer!)
If you plan on selling a product on Amazon for years into the future, getting a trademark is critical. It allows you to be brand registered, which protects you from hijackers, and gives you A+ content, along with many more benefits.
That said, getting a trademark can be expensive since there are usually lawyers involved.
Luckily, there is a way around this, which is why I made this video, where I go over how to get a trademark in the easiest and cheapest way possible. I cover the 3 main ways to get a trademark, the pros and cons of each method, and how you can get one yourself without a lawyer.
Pursue Other Freaking Outlets To Relax
Sometimes your brain just needs a vacation. For me, connecting to nature is 100% the biggest relaxer. But it’s not just about relaxing. It’s about giving your brain a “vacation” from thinking about your Amazon business. We can take it all so seriously and easily spend every waking minute obsessing on the business.
All that does is drain your creativity. It’s challenging to pull yourself away and get perspective. But it made me realize I’m a social creature and need to spend time with loved ones. I came back from the trip so refreshed. Had a whole new outlook on everything.
