I was
no different from you
when I started my journey…
Hey, I’m Tatiana James.
One thing I love about the conventional ‘about me’ page is that it’s often written in the third person.
You know…
‘Tatiana is a 7-figure eCommerce entrepreneur who found her feet after she swam with tadpoles…’
Frankly, I’m not really down for that…
Because it’s a bit weird to write about yourself in third person, right?
I thought I’d change things up a bit and write it like a letter to a friend…
Which it kind of is, I guess.
So anyways...
Where do I start?
I’m 27 years old and I live in Panama with my husband, Stefan.
I love travelling – It’s my favourite hobby by a longshot.
And let’s be honest…
This isn’t really what you want to know.
You’re probably here to figure out whether or not I can help you…
And whether or not I’m the right person to turn to when you’re starting your eCommerce business.
Funnily enough…
My answer to a fair amount of people is NO.
Woah, a bit harsh right?
Let me explain 3 reasons why I probably can’t help you:
I can't help you.
If you want to get rich quick
Ah, the good old online business illusion…
You hate your job and suddenly see an ad about online business…
And the guru who created the ad makes it look like a toddler could do it.
Allow me to let you in on a tiny little secret…
It’s not as easy as you think.
I understand how you feel though – That’s why I got into the eCommerce space myself.
It seemed like the easiest solution to all of my life’s woes.
But to tell you the truth…
Starting an online business takes hard work, persistence and effort.
You may fail a few times, but stick to it enough and you’ll flourish.
If you want quick results and you’re someone who quits after 3 months…
I really can’t help you.
And If you aren’t willing to put in 10x the effort you think it will take…
Then I’m not your gal.
I can't help you.
If you aren't willing to invest in yourself
No, this isn’t a soft pitch for you to buy a course…
Investing in yourself can mean a variety of things, such as taking care of yourself with exercise…
Or attending a seminar.
It means that you continually seek ways to improve yourself…
Whether that is your knowledge, your fitness or even your spirituality.
I am going to mention a course I took though…
Because it was a defining part of my journey.
I was working in a restaurant making minimum wage…
And I still invested in myself by buying a course called ‘The Amazing Selling Machine’.
I literally followed it step by step and saw my business start to grow.
Do I recommend The Amazing Selling Machine? HELL yes.
Is it a necessity to succeed? Absolutely not. (It does make it easier though)
My point is, I invest in myself all the time because I want to grow and improve.
If you’re someone who wants to succeed without ever taking the time to improve…
Then I probably can’t help you.
I can't help you.
If you aren't willing to take action
At the end of the day, it all boils down to one thing.
When you see people with successful businesses…
Living the life that they want to live – the life others may envy…
Always remember one thing:
The proof is in the pudding.
Those people decided to take action on their dreams…
And no matter how slow those actions produced results…
They kept going. They kept taking action.
Also, notice how I didn’t say ‘If you aren’t an action taker’…
Instead, I used the phrase ‘If you aren’t willing to take action’.
Why?
Because not everyone took action in the past.
I definitely didn’t.
But I was willing to take action once I realized how important it was.
And now, you also know how important it is to take action on what you learn.
Without it – Nothing moves. Think about it.
Still here? I’m glad.
If those 3 points haven’t deterred you…
Still Here? I'm glad!
Then here's how
I can help you...
- I can give you FREE actionable strategies that you can use in your eCommerce business right now, regardless of your level.
- I can recommend to you the best tools and resources that I use in my own business. (Yes, I’m an affiliate for certain products)
- I can give you valuable insights into your own eCommerce business - Insights I’ve gained while growing mine to $450,000 / month.
- I can show you exactly how to get started as a complete beginner with no experience in eCommerce AT ALL.
Why did I mention to you that I’m an affiliate for certain products?
Frankly, it’s because I like to take a No B*llshit approach to business.
I say it how it is, and at the end of the day, I feel the knowledge that you’ll gain speaks for itself.
Also, the products that I do recommend as an affiliate are highly proven products.
They are tools and resources I use myself or have used in the past to get me to where I am today.
Any recommendation that I put out to my audience – You best believe it’s a game-changer.
How can I trust your stuff is any good?
The simple answer to that is to check out my free training videos.
I have a 4-part training series that shows you exactly how to get started with Amazon FBA.
If you’re a complete beginner with absolute ZERO experience – It’s for you.
If you’re an intermediate seller who wants to freshen up a few things – It’s for you.
If you’re a veteran who wants to return to basics – It’s for you too.
And of course…
If you like what you learn and you feel I’ve added some value to your life…
Then stick around. There’s a LOT more where that came from!
Also, this is the part I think I'm supposed to talk a bit about
My Story
Where I let you know who I am and why you should listen to me.
Here goes…
I started off going to university as a gal that wanted to work in the government.
You know – Easy life, lots of perks, benefits and a guaranteed pension.
Woohoo!
Turns out The Adjustment Bureau had different plans for me.
I actually did start out in university though…
Attending lectures during the day, and working at a restaurant by night.
Kind of a tragic superhero story huh?
That’s when I bumped into my now fiancé, Stefan.
Not so tragic after all.
Stefan was in the process of running his own online business…
So I decided to give it a shot too – He was doing book publishing.
After publishing my first 5 books and making a tiny bit of money…
I decided it wasn’t for me.
But it awoke something in me…
It awoke the sleeping entrepreneur inside…
And once I realised that I could actually make money from my iPad…
My life literally changed forever.
(Yes, I meant iPad. I didn’t have a laptop at this point).
Anyway – Fast forward a couple of months and I found Amazon FBA…
Kind of like you’ve just found it right now.
Soon after, I enrolled in a course called ‘The Amazing Selling Machine’…
Which taught me how to do Amazon FBA the right way.
I had no previous experience – Heck I didn’t even have a laptop.
I was still working as a waitress, and still going to university…
And I was building my Amazon business in the little spare time I had…
From an iPad and a wifi connection.
But I was consistent.
I kept coming home and working on my business…
And the tiny amount of savings I earned as a waitress, I’d put it into my business.
Key word – Sacrifice.
I had no social life, no TV, no bullsh*t. I was just building what was in front of me…
And what was eventually going to change my whole life.
My eCommerce business.
I underwent the journey of self-development and personal improvement…
And in 2014, my one-product store turned into 3 products.
That’s when I set myself a challenge.
I saw how my business was going, and decided to take a semester off school.
I set a business goal for myself during that semester off…
If I hit the business goal that I set – I wasn’t going back.
It doesn’t take a psychic to know what happens next…
My business ended up growing so much…
That any salary I could expect in my ‘dream career’ was SMASHED by my business.
Fast forward a few setbacks, struggles, and a lot of learning…
At 24, I was a self-made millionaire.
I say self-made, but that’s just because I busted my socks off to get what I wanted…
But to tell the truth, my success was due to the guidance I received along the way.
Guidance from online mentors and resources.
And guess what…
I want to give this guidance back to you
No matter where you are in your Amazon FBA journey…
Even if you’re a COMPLETE beginner with no clue other than how FBA is spelt…
You’ll learn an absolute tonne.
If the free training helps, then you’ll probably want to check out some offers I promote.
They’ll collectively set you on the road to becoming an Amazon FBA Rockstar.
Whatcha waiting for?
