Quotes:

04:02 - “Amazon was one of those things where I found it through searching and went to YouTube. I probably spent about 6 months diving as deep as surface-level YouTube can give you.” - Jimmy

10:12 - “You really have to pivot and make those hard decisions.” - Jimmy

15:45 - “When they say ‘All you need is $500 to start,’ it’s such cr*p. I started with twenty times that and I was still struggling and I have a lower priced item. You really have to understand, this is a real business.” - Jimmy

16:59 - “You have to be good with numbers, or learn to be good with numbers, or find someone that’s good with numbers. There’s a lot of numbers and you have to understand them.” - Jimmy
