Creating products, private label products. Private labeling products, in simple terms, is turning an already existing product into your own branded product. Well, it's a tinny bit more complex than that... You have to make any changes you can see that will make the existing product even better. Another major thing to consider is to change the product in order to make it stand out and be unique. One way of making your product stand out is by pricing it right! Pricing right doesn't mean, having the lowest price, it may in most cases even mean the opposite. Increase your price to give the perception of quality. But you can't give the product the perception of quality if it doesn't have any to start with. So, you have to define what is quality in this category and what are my competitors doing with their products. This is when you are required to buy and test your competitor's products to see why they are better or worse than yours. You will find all the flaws in the product by testing, and also by doing online research (i.e. Amazon reviews). Don't be scared if it is sounding a bit more complicated than you originally thought it would be. It is still two hundred times easier to create a product today than it was 10 years ago. You don't need to build a factory to manufacture your products, you don't need to invent the product, you don't need to build prototypes and spend fortunes making mods. The beauty of this is that you can create products overnight, without doing any of the steps I just mentioned. Just find something that is already working and has proven demand, change it to make it better, and distribute it through the biggest store in the world by paying only 15% of sales! Nowadays there are software tools that can automate most processes and reduce even further the time it takes to test demand, and source the products. From testing to sourcing, shipping from China to the US, and having it in the FBA warehouse ready to sell, things can happen as quickly as 7 days! By the way, it is important to remember that the 7 days mentioned above is possible, but not recommended when starting out. The most important step in creating a private label product is actually knowing what product to create in the first place, as some products may just sit in the warehouse for months or years if the demand is not there or the competition is too big. Pick the right product with the highest demand and in some cases, the product will just sell itself. But if you pick a product because it is something you love or are passionate about, it may never fly because others may not share your passion for that product. I could talk about this all day, but if you need to know more, feel free to contact TED and ask to hear me on a TED Talk. Quin

You've heard it before, but it's the idea of embracing failure! Failure is the best way to learn, only followed by the lessons learned by someone else's failures. If you are not failing on a regular basis, you may not be pushing yourself enough on the way to success. Many people fear failure so much that they fail to live their own lives by never trying anything new, or by never following their dreams. Fail Fast so you can go back to building your knowledge through lessons learned. What is does it mean to fail fast? The notion of failing fast is to do it while you are building the foundation because this way you still have time to rectify the mistakes and learn from them. It's like missing one turn on your GPS, instead of going a full hour without checking the same GPS only to find out you have been driving in the wrong direction for 58 minutes! What does it mean to fail forward? Failing forward means you were in motion. In order to fail forward, you need to be moving forward. Basically, you were taking action and advancing towards a goal. In order to fail forward, you need to be moving forward. The worst failure is when you fail just because you didn't even try. Not only you had zero chance of achieving the goal, but you also missed all the lessons along the way.

I was the district champion of paintball for 4 years in a row. I used the pump-action paint rifles and at the time I could fire quicker than any semy automatic paint rife. Funny story of one tournament: We had a team of 5 elite members for this paintball tournament and one of our members had never, ever been shot during any tournament in all the years we participated. We called him "The Immortal", but his name was Fernando. One day, very shortly before a tournament he had asked me to show him how I could shoot so fast with a pump-action gun, so I started to explain: "Fire one into the air, and keep your finger on the trigger..." "Then when you pump the rifle it will shot every time, so you keep moving your arm very fast and shooting" Fernando tried my technique, and as soon as the judges announced it was time to go, Fernando The Immortal shot himself, as he wasn't used to running around always with the finger on the trigger. A second thing people don't know about me is that I practiced Karate Shotokan for 5 years in Europe and during that time I would run about 30 hours per week
