It has been one of those weeks. Heatwaves, kids home from school, a trip to Peppa Pig World that I am not ashamed to say I thoroughly enjoyed, and the ongoing reality of running a business where something drastic gets thrown your way, you tick the box and move on, and then something else lands. That is 2026 for you.
This week I'm joined by Amazon FBA veteran Ricky Martin, who shares the incredible story of how a €500 investment turned into a seven-figure Amazon business. We dive into the highs, the setbacks, and the lessons learned over more than a decade of selling online, proving that success comes from taking action, adapting to change and never giving up.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale your Amazon business, Ricky's story is packed with inspiration and practical lessons you can apply today.
