Alan KaufmanDear Mike,
I just finished your book, E-Commerce Gladiator.
My we have certainly come a long way from our days in the sourcing business.
While I have retired from the business world and am taking it (sorta) easy, you have grown in leaps and bounds. I'm proud of you.
The book is clearly written and a wonderful resource and guide for anyone interested in e-commerce.
Further, I very much enjoyed the format it was written in, showing that nothing comes easy, and organization is of upmost importance. And that no matter how much you try to plan, problems do arise. It is a step by step guide and a genesis of an online business. Great work.It also seems to me (or maybe not) that some/many of the points you make, you and I had discussed in the passed. So I guess that much of the "stuff" we talked about actually did make an impression. I'm glad it did.
As I said above, I'm proud of the man and businessman you have become.
E-Commerce Gladiator: Story of Building an Amazon FBA Company To Sale
You really need this book because it will motivate you to take action in your Amazon business. So many of us are sitting in the sidelines, in the audience – but we need to be a gladiator, and get in the arena. Do it now.
Hi Mike. I have read you book on the flight back to Shanghai. Thank you for writing it as it gave me goose bumps to realize I am not alone. Although I am not an Amazon seller the journey of sourcing and shipping from China is very real for me too. For 8 years have been running a trading and logistics business. Some into a 9 figure business some failed miserably. Tried to handover my role to a new management which ended up back on my shoulders again. The most painful for me is not the sourcing part as you can control most of it by being on top of it. The most painful is that even though you want others in as the “genius” behind the product it will always be YOUR baby and no one elses’. The biggest obstacle to overcome is me, my mindset and my ability to dominate. Just like with you the human factor sometimes slows me down too. Anyway long story short. Thanks for what you are doing and I will make my story known to the outside world to pay it forward!Simon de Raadt (西蒙） China Expert | Cross-Border E-Commerce | Speaker | Sourcing | Logistics

Mike loves meeting fans and readers. Here are some along the way.
Cadrian ChanI want to give a big thanks to Mike for having me here and also for doing the e-commerce project together. It was an awesome, really great experience, I of course I learned a lot about doing e-commerce business. This is my first e-commerce or FBA business in fact and also doing business in China in general.
I learned a lot on how to being organized or working with people 24/7 all through the internet. We had Freelancers and VA’s and yeah, it requires a totally new set of skills. So it was, sometimes, it’s overwhelming to be honest, but we got through a lot of the obstacles and I was very happy when we had our first product on Amazon selling and yeah, I just think it was amazing.
