You see, the Shawn Hart experience isn't just about being in China. It's about him teaching you - showing you - and demonstrating, exactly what to do once you're there! For example, the first time I went to China with Shawn and his group, I saw Shawn source half a dozen products in under 2 hours. Oh and he sourced these products at about 90-96% discounts compared to what he could turn around and sell them on Amazon under his own private label.

There are certain things that you can only learn by actually doing it. This is one of those life-altering business experiences. You have to go to China, to actually understand how it all works. And much more importantly, you have to get your hands dirty by walking around Yiwu - perhaps nervously at first - and just source. The first few times I tried it, I was laughing like a school-kid. Heck, I was sweating and nervous (for no good reason.) By the time I walked into the third vendor, I sounded (and acted) like I'd been doing it for years. Little did they know I had just arrived.  

Bottom line: Shawn's on-the-ground and in-the-trenches China sourcing trip is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if you're at all serious about this business. And I've heard (but can't confirm) that this will be his last trip. He doesn't need the money, trust me. So if you've been meaning to go to China, with a sourcing "ninja", then you'd be well advised to take action ASAP. And as a result, you will get to profit from your experiences for a lifetime."

It’s about time… Shawn has thrown his hat in the ring. I know almost all the Amazon gurus in this space and practically none of them hold a candle to the results Shawn has achieved selling products on amazon - including me. 

Shawn historically has been more doer, less teacher. I’m glad he’s embracing his teaching role. 

It’s about time… you recapture some of your time. People start businesses to gain freedom, and end up with less of it. They work long hard hours and if they succeed - they become a victim of that success. Shawn’s approach to selling on Amazon is scalable and smart - because Shawn is the best kind of smart: street smart. 

I learned that the day I met Shawn. 

I was speaking at a conference and there were over 3,000 folks in the audience. It was one of my better talks, at least judging by the line of folks waiting to meet me on the stage side after my talk was over. 

Shawn was in that line, toward the back. He got tired of standing around and waiting for what was likely a fleeting moment to make an introduction. Instead, he sauntered up to me and whispered: “I’ll pay you $1000 to sit down and have a beer with me later.” 

Sold. 

Since then, Shawn and my company Rapid Crush have engaged in numerous business ventures together, including at one building the largest company in the world for taking folks to Yiwu, China to source products. 

My job is more of a shovel seller than gold digger. I try to focus and identify the top products, programs and people to help Amazon sellers start and/or grow their business both on and off Amazon. 

I’ve referred close to $100 million in product sales since 2013, and not because I’ve endorsed a ton of programs. On the contrary, I try to focus on the few strategies that make the most difference. 

Shawn is on that short list of folks who I would send my children to if they wanted to learn to sell on Amazon. And it is an honor to be asked to write the foreword. 

Read his book and you’ll see why.
