Dear Santa, can you spare a moment to change the world?
I know you must be quite busy today, but if you find the time here are ten changes which I believe would make the world a much better place in 2017. Changes which are urgently needed.

I’ve already written to you with a personal wish list, but these ones are public. Perhaps you won’t be able to deliver on all of them, but others reading my letter to you on the RT website might be able to do their bit too.

Radical redistribution of wealth

Half of the world’s entire wealth is owned by just 62 people. Yes, that’s right, 62.

At the same time, more than half of the world’s population in rural areas live and work without access to essential health care services.

How can we accept this state of affairs?

Now Santa, I know you’re not Robin Hood, or Che Guevara, but could you help us share the wealth out more equally - so that everyone on the planet has adequate health care and a roof over their heads? If this means we’ve got to change our economic system then so be it. We can’t carry on as we are at present.

Action to save the world’s disappearing wildlife

We’re on course to lose two-thirds of wild animals by 2020. Some of the most iconic species on God’s earth are threatened with extinction: Africa’s lions and elephants, for instance, could be gone for good by 2050. How terrible it would be if we lost such magnificent beasts.

Not only must we ban hunting, and eliminate poaching altogether, we need to protect habitats. We must accept the fact that we share our finite planet with other creatures who have just as much right to be here as we do. Can you help us to get our act together on this one?

Get politicians to listen to the people

I know this is a big ask Santa - but could you get the political class to serve us - and not themselves and special interest lobby groups? If this is impossible, and I fear it might be, could you assist us in bypassing self-interested ‘Members of Parliament’ altogether and establish direct democracies? Modern technology makes it easier than ever for us to cut out the ‘middle man'. Abolishing Parliaments would also mean more money for health care and things that really matter.

Urgent action on climate change

I had a look at the world’s weather for Christmas Day. In London, 14 degrees Celsius is forecast.

That’s a temperature we should be getting in late March, not on 25th December.  2016, according to the UN, is ‘very likely’ to be the warmest year on record- and set a new high for the third year in a row. I’m sure that living in the Arctic, you need no reminders about what’s going on. I only read a few days ago how reindeer - (which I know you’ve got quite a few of) could be the next victims of global warming.

Media Lens (who incidentally I recommend you following if you’re on Twitter and Facebook), recently posted that record-breaking Arctic warmth was ‘extremely unlikely’ without climate change.

Mankind has to wake up to what’s happening, before its too late.

Perhaps you could put in a special note about what’s going on at the North Pole, among the presents you leave tonight (including at the White House).

True internationalism & solidarity to replace elite-friendly globalization and xenophobia

Virtue-signalling Establishment figures in the West love to tell us how much they oppose ‘racism’ and the ‘politics of hate‘.  But their aggressive policies- such as ’liberal interventionism’ and ‘regime changing’ are also inherently racist, based as they

are on a smug sense of superiority over others and a belief that international law does not apply to them.

Instead of the phoney internationalism of the Western elites and ‘liberal’ commentators, we need a genuine one based on mutual respect-and not people from one group of countries dictating to others. Can you help us achieve this?

The US to change its foreign policy

This is very important. In his book ‘Rogue State’, William Blum listed the 24 different countries the US had bombed between 1945-99. Since then the US has bombed at least 7 different countries. In 2015, a report called ‘Body Count’ revealed that at least 1.3m people had lost their lives as a result of the so-called US led ‘war on terror’ in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.

Recently, President-elect Trump promised: “We will stop trying racing to topple regimes” and that the US policy of ‘intervene and chaos’ would come to an end.

Perhaps its just words. But a change in US foreign policy - if you could deliver it, Santa - would be one of the best Christmas presents for the world that one could imagine. It would be warmly welcomed by all good people across the globe, who are sick and tired of the bloodshed that war hawks in Washington have caused.

A ‘Christmas Carol’ visitation for the world’s worst people

A tiny group of sociopaths are responsible for most of the misery in the world. These are the ultra-selfish individuals who hoard their wealth, who exploit and attack others, who promote and propagandize for illegal wars, which they then profit from - and other people's children die in. If these immoral creeps changed their ways, think of the benefits to humanity. Perhaps they are beyond redemption. But they probably thought that about Ebeneezer Scrooge too and look what happened to that old bastard.

An end to people bringing politics into sport (and song contests)

Geopolitics shouldn’t affect international sport - or even song contests, for that matter, which were designed to bring people together. But it did this year - with bans on Russian Paralympians in Rio

and a blatantly political NATO-endorsed dirge winning Eurovision.

Can we have a break from all of this in 2017, please? Politics take up so much of our lives, it’s nice to have a few areas where it doesn't intrude. Or is that too much to ask for?

More Erich Fromm and George Lansbury and less Harry Potter

Erich Fromm was one of the 20th century’s wisest thinkers, but how many read his books today?

The good Doctor told us that "Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence." He also believed that "A healthy economy is only possible at the expense of unhealthy human beings" and that no man should be the means for the purposes of another man. I am convinced that if more people read Fromm, and works such as 'The Art of Loving' and ‘To Have or to Be’, the world would be a much happier place. Please drop a few copies down some chimneys tonight Santa - particularly at 10, Downing Street.

We also need more principled public figures, like the 1930s British Labour leader George Lansbury, a man who had a wonderful vision for humanity and who went to prison for his beliefs. Lansbury - a socialist but not a liberal, advocated the abolition of war - and proposed turning over the British Navy and the Royal Air Force over to the Board of Education for educational cruises. "I would tell them (the Admirals) that hence forward, with dismantled guns, their duty was to enable the children of this country to see the world".

What a beautiful idea. And in a world in which love, solidarity and true internationalism replaced selfishness, aggression and greed, and neocons were banished forever from the corridors of power it could become a reality.

You might think I’m asking for too much, but Christmas is a time of miracles and hopes. If we can’t dream big at this time of the year then when can we?

Hardest Job For Ritz: Staying Healthy

Ritzenhein spends a lot of time on the AlterG treadmill in his garage. Photo Aaron Hewitt

by Scott Douglas One of the hardest things about the marathon is getting to the start line healthy. Few runners take more extraordinary steps than Dathan Ritzenhein to meet that goal. As Runner's World Newswire contributor Matt McCue documents in an in-depth Running Times article, Ritzenhein's biggest foe as a professional runner has been his body's frailty. Time and again, he's gotten some momentum going, trained hard for a few months, run some promising races, only to get hurt again. And again and again and again. Now, however, with the help of coach Alberto Salazar's experimentation, Nike's resources, and his own capacity to tolerate boredom, Ritzenhein seems to have found the formula necessary to train hard enough to be competitive but not so hard as to be injured. The key: Letting go of the notion that he can just run whatever he wants, whenever he wants, wherever he wants. Ritzenhein does a lot of his mileage on an underwater treadmill in Galen Rupp's yard or an AlterG treadmill in his garage. Most of his "normal" runs are doled out in 200- or 600-meter grass loop increments on the Nike campus. Even for his shortest, easiest runs, he seldom runs from home, so as to avoid the concrete street he lives on. Ritzenhein somewhat ruefully compares his situation to that of an office worker in a cubicle. As a result, however, he heads into Sunday's marathon with a solid year of training and racing behind him, a rarity in his professional career. If at Chicago Ritzenhein finally runs a marathon in line with his accomplishments at shorter distances, a lot of the credit will go to the hours upon hours he spent running in place.

How to Pick the Right Marathon

There are several factors to consider when choosing your first 26.2.

Bill asks: I have been running pretty regularly for about nine months now and recently decided to train for a marathon. I thought I would do the New York City Marathon, only to find out that it is a lottery and I missed the entry date. I decided on another marathon and found out it was already full. I had no idea it would be this difficult to pick a marathon. How do runners go about selecting a marathon?

This is a great question! You are not alone in your surprise about lottery entries or early close outs. Unfortunately, I hear this all too often from many new runners who simply have no idea that signing up for a marathon sometimes requires a long-term plan.

It depends upon the popularity of the marathon you are considering, but doing your homework is essential. Visit the website of any race you are interested in as soon as possible and check out the dates and logistics of how and when to register. With three of the largest marathons - Chicago, Marine Corps, and New York - now lotteries, it's important to know and understand their sign up process. But don't despair, not all marathons are lotteries or close out early.

RELATED: Run your first—or fastest—marathon ever! Train smart with the Big Book of Marathon and Half-Marathon Training.

Here are my suggestions for a list of priorities to consider when searching for a race. Pick and choose what seems most important to you. What's interesting is that your priorities change over time too, so it's fun to keep re-arranging this list.

  1. Budget- The cost of running a marathon varies tremendously. Entry fees are just one cost factor. Airfare, hotels, meals, and other transportation costs add up quickly and can get quite expensive. Deciding ahead of time how much you can realistically afford to spend as you begin your search is essential. If you are on a budget, look for races that are close or within driving distance. Smaller races, or races in smaller towns are typically less expensive than big city races. Also, small races can deliver quite a bang for your buck and a wonderful experience. If cost is not a factor, then you are wide open.
  2. Time of year- Look at the time of year that you would like to run a race and then back it up by 4 to 6 months for training time. Fall races are very popular, but that means you will be training through the summer. Depending upon where you live, summer training can be challenging. As a Florida runner, I prefer to pick spring marathons and fall half marathons. Summer also means vacation; could travel potentially disrupt or even derail your training plans? Consider your work schedule too, as it's ideal to minimize disruptions, if at all possible, especially for your first race. Time of year also includes looking at the weather on race day. Weather impacts performance, so if you don't run well in hot, humid conditions, look for races in cooler climates. What type of weather conditions do you prefer for running? While there are no guarantees for perfect race day weather, set yourself up for the best conditions possible.
  3. Race registration- Know the process and the important sign up dates for any race you are considering. It's not uncommon for popular races to sell out within just a few hours after opening, so don't procrastinate. If the race is a lottery, pick a back up race in case you don't get in. Another option when races are lotteries or already full, is running for a charity. Many races offer a number of entries through various charities. A charity entry means you must raise a certain amount of money for that charity, so be sure and check the amount required and decide if that is doable for you. There can be perks associated with charity entries too, like transportation provided to and from the race, or special meet up areas, so it can be a good option and you help fund the designated charity.
  4. Establish your goals for the race- The good news is that this is your first marathon, so you’ll automatically set a personal record (PR). But, be honest with yourself...are you looking to "just finish" the race or are you aiming for a time goal? If you hope to qualify for Boston, make certain you choose a certified course. Other than a time goal, what other race goals might you have? Are you looking for a big city marathon experience? Do you want crowds of spectators cheering you on? Or, do you prefer a quieter course, maybe one with scenic views? Do you want to stop and take pictures? Are you looking for a destination race to vacation afterwards? Is this a family vacation trip? Defining your race goals will help you narrow down your selections.
  5. Check out the race course- Hills? Flat? Trail? Altitude? City roads? Wilderness? Read the website carefully!! If you would like to run as fast a time as possible, then look for a fast course, which usually means relatively flat with few turns. Check out the elevation profile carefully. Note the hills and their incline. Selecting a race course that is similar to the type of terrain you have available to train on is important because whatever your goals are, you want to be well-prepared for the demands of the race. Also, consider the logistics of how the race course is laid out. For example, are the start and finish areas in the same place? Or, is it a point-to-point race where runners are bused out to a start area and run back to the finish line. If so, is race transportation provided? How easy is it to meet up with family/friends afterwards? How far away is your hotel or car? Are these distances walkable? Easy access to family or friends, and/or easy availability back to your hotel, can be important afterwards if you are not feeling your best.

    There are several other factors I like to consider when picking a race. One is the start time. I am a morning runner and love early start times, so I weigh this heavily when signing up for a race. Later start times are not for me. If you want your best performance, consider the time of day that works best for you and try to find a similar start time. Knowing the race cut off time is important too! Make certain you have enough time to finish the race without too much pressure.

    For your first race, keeping it simple can be really helpful. Finding a race close to home with similar terrain, makes training easier, and reduces expenses and stress. On the other hand, making a big commitment for a marathon trip with airfare, hotel, and rental car or planning a destination race with a vacation can provide a great deal of motivation!

    Bottom line: Clearly defining your race goals and objectives for your first marathon will help you refine your search. There are no right or wrong answers. The purpose is finding the right race for you.

Fired San Antonio cop indicted on counts that he shared confidential info and made false statements

Posted By on Thu, May 6, 2021 at 11:20 AM

click to enlarge San Antonio police officer Ronaldo Segovia was fired from the force in 2019. - SAPD
  • SAPD
  • San Antonio police officer Ronaldo Segovia was fired from the force in 2019.
A Bexar County grand jury has indicted a fired San Antonio police officer on two counts of misusing public information, a third-degree felony.

Ronaldo Segovia is accused of leaking privileged vehicle registration information to a “convicted felon and known criminal,” according to a release from the Bexar County District Attorney's Office. The former officer provided the information with intent to "harm or defraud" another individual, the office also alleges.

Segovia, who was terminated from the force in 2019, is also accused of making a false statement about the case to a San Antonio police detective, according to the DA's office.

“This case was brought to our office by the San Antonio Police Department," District Attorney Joe Gonzales said in a statement. "After a thorough review, the case was presented to a Grand Jury which returned a true bill of indictment."

Misuse of public information is punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Segovia had a history of disciplinary issues during his time with SAPD, KSAT reports, citing disciplinary records. In 2019, he received two separate suspensions — one for failing to report an alleged assault and another for being combative with officers while they were conducting an investigation, according to the TV station.

Intro: Hello, Chris Guthrie here, host of Sellercast. And in today’s episode, I speak with Jon who has been doing very well on Amazon. He’s up to a seven figure business, and he’s been selling for about a year. And the cool part is he talks about what he’s done with a business partnership where he set it up with a friend of his. And then, he also talks about what he’s been doing to really try and grow the business. Their next goal is $250K per month, and then to do that continuously.

He talks about how he’s able to get to seven figures a year in the first place which is really a straightforward process. I think that you’ll like it, especially if you haven’t been doing it in your own business. Let’s start the recording.

Chris Guthrie: Hello, everyone, Chris Guthrie here. And today, I have Jon on the show. Jon, welcome.

Jon: Hey, Chris. How is it going? Great to be here!

Chris Guthrie: I’m doing well. I’m excited to have you here as well. We’ve exchanged emails in the past for quite some time. I haven’t looked back to see how long ago that first email came through. But it’s been a lot of fun talking to you, so I’m glad we could do this.

So, let’s get started. How long have you been selling on Amazon for?

Jon: It’s been a short amount of time actually. I would say it’s been about a year.

Chris Guthrie: Okay, so about a year?

Jon: Yeah.

Chris Guthrie: And what led you into this business model. And then, I’d really like to also just dive into some of the particulars of what you’ve done to succeed in your business.

Jon: Yeah, I kind of have a unique story tied to your blog actually. I started reading your blog probably, gosh, about four or five years ago when blogging was big and how to drive traffic to websites and what-not. And so I decided to start my own financial blog.

I ended up selling that at the peak of blogging which was a couple of years ago in terms of the financial blogs. I sold the blog. It was extremely successful. That was extremely lucrative.

But then, I don’t know, it just hit a cap and I wanted to do a—because I never viewed blogging as a sustainable model. I didn’t view blogging as a business model, if you would. So, I always wanted to get into some product sales of some sort. But the barrier to entry was always pretty big in my mind, so I never pursued it.

And then, I got married and I had a son about a year ago.

Chris Guthrie: Congrats!

Jon: Yeah, thank you. Yeah, he’s actually one year old, so that lines up with the birth. But between getting married and having a son, that’s given me the inspiration to build something that is not only sustainable, but is scalable, and something that is big. I wanted to start a big volume, high revenue type business.

So, for me, blogging was just not working out. And honestly, I got tired of writing. So, I honestly started researching, reading blogs. Your blog I think got me started on the road towards the Amazon world. I just couldn't believe your revenue figures. I honestly thought I was reading a scam.

Chris Guthrie: Oh, my…

Jon: There’s no way. There’s no way that he started selling products on Amazon that easily. And seeing the revenue numbers you had, I’m like, “There’s no way.” So I researched for, gosh, three to six months just reading all sorts of blogs, Importing Empire, all the importing bros, all sorts of…

Chris Guthrie: Yeah, there’s so many now.

Jon: There are so many now, yeah. And I’m so cheap that I didn’t want to pay for a class. And so, I literally taught myself using all the different blogs. And so, I had a capital problem, expenses with the birth and everything. And so I brought in one of my best friends who’s also an entrepreneur.

I proposed this idea to him. I said, “Hey, these are the figures that I’m reading about online. Are you interested in being the investor?” And so, he invested, I invested some. And we launched our Amazon business about a year ago. And it’s been very successful.

So, it’s kind of a cool story, how it intertwines with your blog and the Amazon world. That’s a little background on it.

Chris Guthrie: Yeah, yeah. And I love talking about online business. That’s why we’re doing the podcast here. And it’s always funny because a lot of times, people that have been on the show so far, I’ve met or I exchanged emails with them in the past and then met them in an event or whatever. And then, full circle, they’re now on the show. So, it’s a lot of fun to do this.

So, a few other things that you actually mentioned, maybe I’m thinking of a couple of questions I want to ask. Well, one, are you able to share the URL of the financial blog that you sold just for people that might be interested in that?

Jon: Oh, gosh! Well, that’s a good question. I’ve never thought about that.

Chris Guthrie: If you can’t share it, that’s fine. Potentially, you have a personality tied to it. And in some cases, buyers like to not let people know that that person has now exited.

Jon: Come to think of it, the contract that I signed for that website, I actually can’t market it. I can’t share with other people.

Chris Guthrie: No, that’s fine. And that’s a typical type of thing. Well, it depends, I guess, on the deal.

Okay, so the other question then was a lot of people talk about wanting to start an ecommerce business. And sometimes, they have that same problem where they either lack the money to really invest in the business, and so they try and partner up with others.

And so that partnership conversation and the way that that can go, I really think it takes on a lot of different ways. There might be people that are listening now that think, “Hey, let’s get going” or typically, we have a lot of people that are already up and selling and they’re just looking for other nuggets they can apply to their business.

But in your case, can you share some of the particulars about what you did for your deal? Since we don’t know what you’re selling—and we won’t be talking about that specifically—maybe you could share some of that. I’d be interested in hearing how that…

Jon: Yeah, my situation is pretty unique. Some would say I got away with murder. But he’s one of my bestfriends, I proposed this and I basically said, “I’m going to be the brains behind this business right now. Down the road, we’ll definitely split the task up 50/50.” But really, the long-term goal is to get 90% of the business over to a virtual assistant.

So, he came on investing his own capital with no strings attached. So, we lumped his money in which was 75% of the capital that we needed. And then, I lumped my 25% in and we just went with it.

I’m not a big fan of contracts. I’m not a big fan of really formal type of agreements. So we started that way, informally, and had 100% accountability, tracking. He obviously needed to get that really paid. It was a substantial amount of money. We do Google share documents. So, we started our business with 100% transparency. But that’s not hard. We have a best friend who’s also like-minded. So first, it was no big deal.

My advice is for—and I actually told my little brother to do this. He’s going to do it with my dad. For capital, just avoid the banks, and avoid sites like because they’re not going to look at you seriously until you’ve got some revenue going. I would pursue a friend or family member to invest in you.

That would be my first place to go for money. And that’s where people go for their down-payment for their homes. So, that’s not that abnormal.

Chris Guthrie: And I guess it also gives you a little bit of fire lit under your pants to make sure you do well.

Jon: Yeah!

Chris Guthrie: You don’t want to disappoint. I guess the one downside I suppose is that—well, it depends if you do have a contract or not—you obviously want to make sure you repay that in the case that something doesn’t work out. Otherwise, you might have a strained relationship moving forward.

Jon: Oh, yeah. Well, it’s funny, because I told him, I said, “Look, this business is extremely low risk, extremely low risk because you can price your Amazon products at a breakeven point and be cheaper than pretty much everybody and still sell your product.”

So to me, there wasn’t a lot of risk on his part. There wasn’t a lot of risk on my part. We just went with it.

Chris Guthrie: Let’s dive in though. Let’s talk about the business itself. You mentioned there’s a fairly substantial investment. You can share or not share, that’s fine, how much was invested?

But I’m really curious in terms of where you’re at now sales-wise one year in. You had a partner, you both split the inventory cost getting going. Where are you at right now?

Jon: We’re tracking at a million a year in revenue right now.

Chris Guthrie: Awesome! So you’ve had a six figure month already then with perhaps maybe in the previous holiday season?

Jon: Exactly, exactly. We just hit that. Believe it or not, our goal was always right around $50,000 a month. That was multiple months ago. But it seems to have grown so fast.

We hit a couple of homeruns. We have killed off a couple of products. And it’s just grown substantially in a couple of months. I mean, it’s incredible.

Chris Guthrie: Let’s talk about those then. What do you think made those product homeruns? Do you think, looking back, it was an element of luck or do you think that there were something you did that could be replicable for people who are listening. And then, also, I’d like to talk about some of the ones that you killed off as well.

Jon: Yeah, definitely. I think it comes down to experience. We use different software tools to analyze things now.

But when we first started, our first product was actually a homerun, believe it or not. It was a very low risk product. And I wanted to use something that’s really easy to source, and something to test the whole Amazon process. I still couldn't wrap my mind around how you get products from China to—

We use a third-party warehouse company in the United States. How do I get it from there to the warehouse to the Amazon warehouse. So, I wanted to use a really cheap, easy product to test the whole system.

I did an order of 250 units and found a fantastic supplier who actually is the same supplier for some of the name brands that we see in the United States. He was open to it. We did an order and we took it through the entire system, getting it to Amazon and started selling immediately.

Whenever we look at products, we’re always looking at “How can we be the standout product? How can we be the best? How can we improve our negative reviews? How can we change colors to make someone click on page one?”

And page one is always the standard. We don’t pursue a product if we can’t get on page one. We make that 100% page one in the top five. That’s always our goal.

So, we use software programs now to analyze the market and we look for—and just to clarify, when I say ‘homeruns’, we’re looking for products that do between $25,000 and $100,000. We don’t do the crazy—I would call them crazy volume products simply because competition gets nasty. And in my opinion, it puts you in a position where you have a higher rate of getting banned or suspended because someone has now—

You know, you’re dealing with high volume sellers. I just don’t want to deal with the suspension. Maybe that’s fear, I don’t know. But we stick with products where it’s easy to get on page one. To us, $10,000 a month in revenue is worth it. Our goal, obviously, is the $25,000 to $100,000 range now. But we don’t pursue things that are bringing in more than that each month.

Chris Guthrie: So, I think I misheard you at first. I thought you said, “$25,000 to $100,000 per month per product.”

Jon: That’s correct.

Chris Guthrie: So if I hear that—and people listening may have different opinions—but that almost sounds like a grand slam maybe to some people, right? If it’s a single product that can do, by itself, $100,000 a month and be a seven figure business, that’s pretty substantial.

Jon: Yeah.

Chris Guthrie: So then, how many products do you have today then?

Jon: I guess the better question would be SKUs. We have multiple variations on products. We’ve actually built out our listings with variations and we’re extremely successful doing that. So, some of our products, we have different sizes. And some of the products, we simply change the colors to offer a color that’s never been on the market before.

For example, we have a product actually. It’s a sports product. We noticed that, guess what, there’s not a lot of pink for this product. And so we’re trying to tap into the female/moms/young women’s market with the color pink. And so that’s been successful so far.

I’m having a brain fog. What was your question, Chris?

Chris Guthrie: Yeah, no, that’s fine. I was just trying to see where you’re at on that. You mentioned that you target page one and the top five positions. So, what have you done specifically to try and make sure you hit that each time? And I guess, now, you’ve said you have multiple SKUs. How many launches I guess could you say you’ve done? And then maybe you can talk about some of the launch process you’ve done as well.

Jon: We’ve done 15 launches. Five of them, we’ve killed off due to not doing enough research, the volumes weren’t there, we’re spending too much on PPC. So we have right around 10 products. We have multiple SKUs.

We probably have 20 SKUs at this point. It’s all across different categories, but we’re looking for a specific volume. And we’re looking for a specific number of FBA sellers for that specific product. And we’re looking for holes in the product—the features, the colors.

And so, we go into a market with the goal of being the number one seller in that market.

We do a lot of marketing for that product. We spend a lot of money upfront right at the launch to get reviews, to get the PPC spend amount. It’s typically higher than normal in the very beginning. And typically, we lower the price to get lots of organic traffic in the very beginning.

So, besides that, ranking for keywords with advertising, we’re slowly getting into other advertising avenues. But the Amazon sponsored ads are really are bread and butter right now. I mean, at least what we’re finding, the recipe for gold is if you feature a product or sell a product that truly is unique, and you’re building off of someone else, and it’s better, you combine that with low bidding numbers, you’re going to have a great return on investment.

So, our experience is that if you do those things and find a product that has that perfect recipe, you’re almost guaranteed with advertising to be extremely successful.

Chris Guthrie: Yes, that’s great. And I think that I wanted to come back and unpack a few things that you talked about. So, one of the things you mentioned was that you’re across multiple, different markets. I’m assuming you have some sort of generic brand name, and then you apply a more specific brand name for those products that’s in those categories.

Jon: Yeah, exactly.

Chris Guthrie: What was the decision process behind that as opposed to staying within one space? Does this just sort of goes back to what you said in the very beginning of our conversation that “I want to build something truly huge”? And so, if you’re building something that’s truly huge, then maybe you don’t want to niche it down to one specific space and stay in that area, maybe bundle it up and sell it or something later.

You’re thinking, “Hey, let’s just go where we know we can sell and grow wherever we can grow.” And even if it’s kind of somewhat unrelated, some of the products, it doesn’t matter.

Jon: Well, that is exactly what we do. We’re scrappers almost. We have a long-term vision of building our various brands. But right now, we are truly focused on finding those bestsellers.

And honestly—and I’ve polled a lot of people about this—when you’re on Amazon, do you ever notice or ever click on the actual seller, the storefront? Every single person says no. They only notice two things, the price, the pictures and the brand name.

So, if you make the brand name really, really nice, really, really applicable to the product, that’s what they’re looking at. I’ve seen some crazy general store names for their storefronts and they’re pulling in six figures. So obviously, people don’t care that much.

We made a very general—our name is extremely classy. And it definitely plays to the emotion of female customers—knowing that the majority of customers on Amazon are females. We did that strategically from the very beginning. But we are looking at all sorts of markets. If a 24-pack of nuts and bolts are selling in the home improvement department, and we don’t have any products on the home improvement department, and that product is selling $25,000 and there’s one seller, well, we’re going to go in.

So, that doesn’t scare us. The worry of having 25 different markets under our storefront does not scare us at all. So, we do it on purpose.

Chris Guthrie: I like that. I think you’re definitely right. People don’t usually click those seller names. And I think most of the time, when they’re looking in that general area of the screen, they’re just looking to see it has that little prime checkbox so that they can make sure they get the free shipping. And that’s something I think people are looking for when it comes to that spot.

Now, going back to the specific products now that you’re doing, if you’re going into different areas—part of the reason why people like to go into one specific spot—

Let’s say they’re trying to build up their website. It’s on a specific niche—say, it’s the barbecue space. And then they get a bunch of people that are interested in barbecuing. And they can, of course, easily launch these products.

I’m just assuming you’re just using some external review sources or you’re using some extra promotion attempts. You mentioned that reviews, PPC, lowering your price. Are you trying to do anything especially since you have the experience of building up that blog and using that to make money and then you sold it. Are you trying to build a website to help drive traffic to these product listings?

Jon: Yeah, that’s actually our next step. We’re going to be now reinvesting our profits into Shopify websites. We’re also looking at WooCommerce and using Wordpress. So, it’s something we’re looking at, but it’s tough because we’re becoming bestsellers across the board in some of these markets.

And so, we’re so focused on growth—our next goal is $250,000 every month in revenue—that the building the blogs, building websites up, it’s kind of taking a backseat to be honest.

It’s definitely on the to-do list. We have a joint to-do list. My business partner is looking into those types of websites. We’ll explore it. But right now, if we can focus on increasing revenues simply by launching new products, launching variations, that’s what our focus is right now.

Chris Guthrie: The cool part too is I know you’re calling me from—I believe you said it was your day job, right? It’s like your lunch break right now at your day job that we’re doing this. And so you have an ecommerce business, and you partnered with a friend, you have a seven figure ecommerce business, you still have your day job, and you’re still focused because you want to be able to just—I’m assuming you’re reinvesting almost—or nearly almost—all of the revenue back into more products, more inventory, et cetera?

Jon: Yeah, 80% is reinvested.

Chris Guthrie: Yeah, I love it. So, I’m assuming you’ve paid each other off your initial capital that you’ve put in the first time?

Jon: Yeah, the initial capital has been paid off. And now, we’ve kind of stuck to a figure of 7.5% to 10% each. That changes every month because we might want to reinvest, we might want to launch an extra product one month. So, that’s the strategy behind that. But paying it out definitely makes you hungrier because it changes how you view it. And also, if you have an LLC with an S-Corp, you’re required to pay a fair amount to yourself as an employee anyway.

That’s what we’re doing. And as we grow, we’re not going to increase the percentage per se. The payouts every month will just naturally increase.

Chris Guthrie: Yeah, because your business is growing. So then, I want to talk a little bit too about—you mentioned originally how you had a partnership where you were going to be the brains. He was going to provide some of the capital. Now that you’ve been doing this for quite a bit longer, how do you have the work spit up? What are you spending your time on these days after you get home from work basically?

Jon: I would say I am the ads, marketing and website tweaking. My business partner is everything financial, website development, a lot of miscellaneous items, making sure that we have everything in line. He does all of our cost tracking which I personally hate. So, he does all of the expenses, the shipping cost. He deals with DHL and UPS. He deals with the sea shipping companies. So, we kind of just split up the work naturally for what makes sense right now.

But like I said, our business relationship is more than just business, we’re best friends. So, one month, I might do more work than him. Then the next two months, he might do more work than me. We don’t think about it as “Who’s doing more work?” We’re simply thinking about it as “If our revenue continues to grow, we’re both going to work as hard as we can.”

We don’t really track a whole lot, but we do have the tasks split up like I’ve just covered.

Chris Guthrie: So it works well for you guys?

Jon: Yeah, it does. Yeah.

Chris Guthrie: Awesome! So, we have probably about five minutes left or so. I want to focus on where you see the most value from for the remainder of our conversation? What do you think are some of the main things that would help people that you’ve learned?

Jon: I get tired of general marketing advice.

Chris Guthrie: Yeah, some specifics. Let’s cover specifics.

Jon: Yeah, exactly, specifics. I would say to spend a significant amount of time doing your research. I would take a class. Looking back, I would take a class because with the types of revenue numbers that we’re looking at, let’s just say the class is $500, it’s extremely worth it. It reduces your time. Instead of me spending six months like I did to research on my own, you could spend a couple of weeks and learn it yourself through a class.

So, I would take a class. I would really look at revenue numbers. There are multiple software tools that are out there. We use one that plugs directly into Chrome. But I would jump in. I would jump in, and I would really focus on, in the very beginning, going slow.

I would definitely say to find a business partner. There’s a lot of work involved. I personally would not want to do it on my own. And that’s about it. It’s just about finding those products.

And to be honest with you, we find our products—and this is just a tip for all the listeners. This is what I do every day. I brainstorm ideas, I go on Amazon and I actually don’t even go to the bestsellers anymore. So, I go into searching products that I know of. And then, I go look at products that were purchased by that same customer.

So, under each products listing, there’s a little area that says ‘also purchased’. I click those listings. And then, I go into that same section on that new listing, and I start doing research that way. And then, I look at the revenue numbers—and there are all sorts of tools out there. That’s easy, to get the tool—and then just researching that main keyword. What is the keyword for that product? Go look at what’s your competition.

And then looking at staying away from an Amazon-saturated market and sticking with the market where you’re competing against other third-party sellers.

So, that’s about it. There really is no secret behind an Amazon business. That’s what I found. There is no secret. It’s mind-boggling that the market as a whole is not saturated because there is no secret, that people selling ‘Amazon secrets’ online and all these crazy websites and blogs are talking about it in a broad basis, there really is no secret recipe.

It’s all about research. It takes patience. We didn’t get a payout for close to, gosh, a year. So keeping a long-term of vision off—

And if it makes people feel better—it made me feel better—knowing that most businesses are in the red for the first five years. If I’m in the red for a year with Amazon, hey, you’re beating the average business across the world.

So, that’s how I look at it. I just encourage all the listeners to this podcast just to go for it. There’s very little risk and the long-term payout is huge. That really is the key. It’s a very low-risk business. That’s what I like about it.

Chris Guthrie: Yeah, I really think that one of the biggest things—especially for those who aren’t doing this now—is just the takeaway that you’re willing to reinvest a lot of the profits just right back in into the business as long as possible. And then, the longer you can do that, the longer you can delay paying yourself, and then maybe just paying yourself a bit, the better you’re going to be off. I love that.

Jon:  Yeah, exactly.

Chris Guthrie: So Jon, thanks so much for coming on the show. I think it’s a lot of fun. And yeah, I’m glad you’re able to come in. It’s nice again. We’ve got another full circle thing here. You’ve read my blog randomly. You found it on the Internet. I hear that a lot when I talk to people in person.

So, I’m glad you’re doing well. I wish you the best. Thank you so much.

Jon: Yeah, you as well, Chris. Thanks for the opportunity.

Chris Guthrie: Thanks, Jon.

Alright! That was the episode with Jon. I really enjoyed his philosophy and his approach to this business in that they’re really focusing on reinvesting to grow. They’re only taking a small single-digit percentage each of the profits that they’re making so they aren’t taking too much out of the business.

And I think that, in a lot of cases, really is what helps separate people that are doing really, really well and growing substantially and those that are sitting at a specific level. So, if you’re already in your business now and you’re trying to decide what you can do to really scale up and you’re taking a lot of capital out, then maybe that’s something you need to reconsider.

He still has a day job. And he told me afterwards—I should’ve mentioned this and asked him on the show—“I don’t see leaving my day-job any time soon. I want to focus on growing the business. And the best way to do that is to not be drawing down a huge salary from it.”

So, that’s what they’re doing. And hopefully, you enjoyed the lessons he talked about in the show. You can go to Leave us a review like I mentioned before. We’d really appreciate that. And thank you so much for listening. We’ll see you in the next episode.

Ann Farabee: ABC, easy as 123

Ann Farabee

ABC. It’s easy as 1-2-3.

The ABCs are taught to our children very early in life. We proudly listen to our little ones recite them — or sing them. But transferring the letters from the song to the actual letter usage takes a little longer. Right around HIJK LMNOP, young children tend to get lost.

What is an LMNOP?

While teaching kindergarten, I heard that question more than once.

ABC. So simple. So important.

Ephesians 3:12 says: In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.

ABC – Access. Boldness. Confidence.

ABC – So simple. So important.

We can have access

Once while standing in line on a field trip with some middle schoolers, we were told that we had been granted an all-access Pass. My students looked at each other in disbelief. We were going to be allowed to go immediately beyond the doorway and into the inner court of the building. Full access! I could sense the boldness and confidence stirring in my students as we were ushered to the front of the line.

Access is defined as a means of approaching or entering a place. If we speak His name in prayer, He hears us. A way has been made to the father, to the holy of holies, to the throne of grace, to God the father. We can enter directly into the presence of God because of Jesus Christ and our faith in him. Not only can we talk with Him about everything — but He wants us to talk with Him about everything.

We can have boldness

Boldness means to not hesitate or be fearful.

Hebrews 4:16 says: Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

What a beautiful promise we receive from praying with boldness! We will acquire mercy and find grace.

We can have confidence

Confidence is the feeling or belief you can rely on someone or something. It is a firm trust. We can be self-assured not because of who we are, but because of who God is. He is the covenant God — the promise keeper, who is willing and faithful to us.

ABC — We can have Access to God with Boldness and Confidence.

How? Through our faith in Him.

Our faith in Him — for our pardon, for our righteousness, for our supply of grace, for our joy, for our eternal life … and for so much more.

Do you feel the power in that?

We have access.

We need to use it.

With boldness.

With confidence.

It's taken longer than expected, but here's my latest finish.

I'd hoped for a quilt, but quickly realised that I didn't have quite enough fabric to make it work. Sooooo, a table runner was born.

Five Rentals later, finally a Home for the Fejzic Family

Six years and five rentals later, the search for a new home ends for the Fejzić family from Kolići, thanks to the European Union.

A memory of one night in May 2014 is still fresh in the mind of fifty-year-old Mirsad Fejzić. Unprecedented amounts of rain and groundwater teamed up with the overflowing nearby Kolići stream, forcing the locals to leave their homes. Mirsad had a special mission that night – in search of safety from a natural disaster, he formed a column and led the family and locals uphill to a neighbouring village.

“I have no words to describe how that journey went. We moved along a slope, not daring to go down for five meters, with the soil all drenched in water, so you sink right there. You are taking your children, carrying the bags”, Fejzić recalls. “I spent four years in the war, and never did I turn my back on anything. But those moments were the hardest for me. Not a thing you can do.”

Kolići near Zenica are one of the villages most severely affected by landslides; homes of the locals there, including that of Fejzić, are still buried under debris and mud. Seven years later, he is still struggling to hold back his emotions.

“When the villagers of Smajić saw us… they thought we all died down there that night,” he recalls, adding that due to heavy rains and unusual storms, there was no phone signal in the village, coupled with a shortage of food and drinking water.

“Never saw that in any movie. Fighting hard for each other, to help, to rescue. Everyone crying up there – they couldn’t believe we survived,” he says. “We caught a bit of a phone signal and I made a call, helicopters came. The transfer took two days. Whatever was to be taken, we pulled it out. The army took the population. They were placed in the barracks.”

Frequent moving

Numerous villages and areas on the banks of rivers and streams in the Zenica-Doboj Canton are among the hardest hit by catastrophic floods and landslides, with one million in BiH affected in its aftermath.

The worst natural disaster in 120 years had led to an unprecedented crisis where some 90,000 were forced to leave their homes. In May 2014, Mirsad, his wife and three children, all moved into the first of five rentals they would be moving in and out from over the next six years in Zenica.

“As soon as you settle in, the owner comes to inform that the property is sold and you need to move. And the little that you have end up being destroyed from all the moving around,” he says. “Just when we started to lose hope, it happened.”

In September 2017, the Flood Recovery Programme was launched. Under its housing component, intended primarily for socially and economically vulnerable groups, a total of 423 new housing facilities have been built and 60o housing units in BiH rehabilitated.

In the area of the city of Zenica alone, 34 houses were built.

Coordinator with the Zenica City Administration, Danijela Dalmacija-Pavlović, has been engaged from the very start to help fellow citizens affected by floods and landslides. She remembers everything done so far and expresses personal satisfaction that the project was implemented on such a large scale in her city.

“It’s a major trauma, a major loss. Imagine having everything in your apartment, your home, and you are left with nothing. Well, they were literally left with nothing,” she recalls. “Those floods had that weight – they survived the war, they’ve been through it all, and then you end up once again with nothing. And they had to start from scratch all over again.”

With a 15 million euro programme funded by the European Union in co-operation with the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska, Zenica-Doboj Canton, local authorities and UNDP, some 3,000, much like Fejzić, now have permanent housing.

Mirsad Fejzić was raised and spent his entire life in the countryside. Zenica’s settlement of Klopče, where his new house is located, has conditions for him to engage in agriculture. Although serving on the Armed Forces of BiH, Mirsad, with the great help of his wife Mersima, successfully maintains greenhouse production. He was also provided a 100-square-meter greenhouse, including the accompanying raw materials and small equipment, all thanks to the Flood Recovery Programme.

“It’s different, when you know it’s yours. The house up there is still buried. I’m still going up, my orchard is up there, I’m sowing. I learned to live of agriculture. I worked in a company, but the barn was always full”, says Mirsad.

The older son and daughter, meanwhile, moved out and started their own families, so 15-year-old Salih has his own room in the new house.

The Fejzić family are also satisfied with the support for their agricultural production. During the year they say they can produce up to 800 to 900 kilograms of tomatoes, provide healthy food all summer, during the winter they have fresh spinach, spring onions and lettuce.

The Flood Recovery Programme is implemented by UNDP in BiH, jointly with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB), Hilfswerk International (HWI) and partner municipalities and cities.

Energy price cap confusion means switching still best choice

Posted on

February 28, 2018

Posted in

Buildings Legislation

Government plans for a cap on energy tariffs announced this week have added confusion to a fast-changing market but reinforce why switching provider is the best option in reducing bills.

The Domestic Gas and Electricity Bill, introduced on Monday (February 26th) is designed to curtail the unacceptably high rates on Standard Variable Tariffs (SVTs) and the hope is that the proposed price cap will help the 11 million customers currently on these rates save up to £100 a year.

Its focus on steep energy charges coincided with the news that energy bills were set to leap again by up to 9% this year as wholesale gas and electricity prices continued to rise.

For businesses, the steep rises being forecast can have a serious impact on profitability and the need to act now is more important than ever. It is a simple process and we can help – find out more here.

Ofgem powers

The Bill would allow the energy regulator, Ofgem, to limit the amount companies are allowed to charge customers on SVTs. When passed, the new law will enforce the cap for the next two years with the potential to extend this year by year up to 2023.

However, the new legislation has had a very mixed reception, with the regulatory policy committee harshly criticising the measures while consumer group Citizens Advice applauded the protection it would offer.

And the general mood among different stakeholders and groups is that people will benefit far more by switching supplier, saving potentially hundreds of pounds a year.

Market distortion

The main arguments against the Bill are that it might cause market distortions, with knock-on effects for competition, services and sector jobs. The regulatory committee watchdog was also quite scathing that even outline costs scheme had not been given.

The STVs have long been in the Government’s sights and have been described by Prime Minister Theresa May as a “rip-off”.

But the idea of a price cap is not seen by many as the solution to high energy bills. Indeed, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) strongly backed the better option of switching supplier two years back at the conclusion of an 18-month investigation into the energy market.

The CMA advised then against a full energy price cap, limiting this to the 4 million people on pre-payment meters. The watchdog advised then that customers with the Big Six energy companies were being overcharged by £1.4bn a year on SVTs.

Switching fears

But there are concerns around switching to a different energy company, particularly as the more competitive market evolves with new small suppliers. In just a year, 18 new energy companies have started offering services, bringing the total to 66.

This rapid expansion was a highlight of a Mail on Sunday article that raised fears around small providers going bust and what would happen to consumers’ energy supply. But it also strongly advised people to consider switching to save money.

Business and domestic customers can take heart that they will not be left without a supply of electricity or gas should the very worst happen and their supplier ceases trading. Ofgem will step in to provide a supplier.

Choosing the best supplier is simple, if you have the right partner and our switching service is boon for businesses seeking to control their energy costs. It’s possible to save up to 40% on bills with the right supplier.

SaveMoneyCutCarbon can ensure that you are on the very best tariff for your utility supply contract and our service means material savings can often be delivered at no cost to you. At the very least, it is good to check that your existing supplier is providing the best prices in the ever-changing utility market. As part of this mission, we have partnered with Fidelity Energy who provide a market-leading platform for us to access best tariffs on energy and gas supply.

Addictions, no matter what areas of our lives they affect, are all difficult to quit. Gambling wasn’t considered a serious addiction a few years back. The truth is, anything that comes in the way of your responsibilities and starts off as a hobby but morphs into something you ‘can’t’ do without, is an addiction. You can learn more about online gambling over at BingoMummy.

One can be addicted to anything so other non-mainstream addictions include nail biting, smartphone addiction, Instagram addiction, Netflix addiction, etc. It is not easy to quit an addiction as you would think, so if you have anyone in your life going through an addiction you need to show them a lot of care and patience. Many mistake a gambling addiction to focus solely on a financial aspect instead of seeing the deep and profound control it could have over an individual. Compulsive gambling is a real and powerful addiction and just like any other addiction, it has its own withdrawal symptoms.

How does gambling become an addiction?

Scientists discovered that whenever we gamble, a burst of dopamine is released. Dopamine is the feel-good hormone-triggered whenever we feel a rush of excitement. We become addicted to that feeling and don’t find the kind of satisfaction it gives us in any other area of our lives. Basically, nothing can top the rush of making a bet. This pattern starts off slow and before you know it, you are knee deep and don’t even notice it. Drug addicts also go through the same pattern and have a set of withdrawal symptoms once they cut their use. Gamblers undergo the same.

addiction in gambling

A 2008 article in the “International Gambling Studies” journal stated that researchers weren’t able to distinguish whether a group of gamblers was suffering from the effects of not being able to gamble or not being able to find a way to relieve stress.

Nottingham Trent University’s Professor Mark Griffiths did a study too and found that gamblers who were unable to suffered from sweats, nausea, moodiness, irritability and stomach cramps.

The professor has done extensive studies on compulsive gamblers and he believes that it shares similarities with other addictions like alcohol, heroin, nicotine and crack. A gambling addiction usually dominates a person’s mind, leading to cravings and causing you to think of nothing but gambling. It’s also possible for players to build a tolerance, leading to them needing to up their ‘fix’ over time. The constant chase leads to an addiction.

If your loved one is having a problem with compulsive gambling, consult a trained addiction specialist and/or a therapist to understand what treatment options are available. Do all your research and ask as many questions as you like. It gets better with time.
