  • S3 Ep19: Russ Britton - Honest FBA: Part 1

    S3 Ep19: Russ Britton - Honest FBA: Part 1
    Nov 21 2024

    Welcome back to the Goodbye Poor Hello Rich Show! This week, I’m joined by the incredible Russ Britton, better known as Honest FBA. If you’re looking for motivation, resilience, and inspiration, this is the episode for you.

    Russ’s story is nothing short of amazing. Starting with just £200, he’s managed to turn that into a thriving six-figure e-commerce business in under 18 months – all while balancing two other jobs, including his full-time role as a firefighter and running a successful dog walking business.

    In this episode, Russ opens up about:

    How he got started with Amazon FBA and turned it into a thriving business.

    The challenges of juggling multiple jobs and family commitments while building an online empire.

    Why mindset and perseverance are everything when starting an e-commerce journey.

    The importance of networking and how connecting with others helped propel him forward.

    How he overcame personal struggles, including self-doubt and imposter syndrome, to focus on long-term success.

    This conversation highlights not just the potential of FBA but the sheer determination it takes to succeed. Russ’s story is a powerful reminder that with the right mindset and willingness to learn, anything is possible.

  • S3 Ep18: A difference of opinion...

    S3 Ep18: A difference of opinion...
    Nov 19 2024
    Welcome back to the Goodbye Poor Hello Rich Show with me, Des Hamilton! Big news - we’re now twice a week! Every Tuesday, I’ll be sharing my thoughts, journey, and what’s piquing my interest. Thursdays will stay focused on interviews with inspiring guests. It’s a fresh new format.

    In this episode I reflect on the advice given from Simon Squibb to Hayden Davidson on Hayden’s Make it Big podcast. I cover:

    Episode Highlights:

    • Simon Squibb’s Surprising Take on Podcasts
      My reaction to Simon Squibb’s advice that podcasts are overdone, too expensive and hard to commercialise. Why I respectfully disagree and how I’ve built a podcast that charts weekly (peaking at #11!) without spending a fortune.
    • Why I’m doubling down on the podcast with two episodes a week—despite being told podcasts are “overdone.”
    • The Power of Persistence
      Why most podcasts don’t make it past episode three, and how I’ve grown mine with nothing but determination, authenticity, and value-driven content.
    • Why Giving Value for Free Works
      The journey from £200 to a six-stream income business, built on giving value for free, and why it’s still my #1 strategy.
    • Practical Steps to Build Your Platform
      How I’ve used tools like podcasts, Facebook groups, and YouTube to create an engaged community that supports my entrepreneurial growth—and how you can too.

    This is your reminder that you can start where you are, with what you have, and still succeed. Whether it’s a podcast, a side hustle, or a full-blown business, the barriers to entry are often lower than you think—especially if you’re willing to put in the work and show up consistently.

    💡 What do you think?
    I’d love to hear your thoughts on Simon’s take, my response, and how you’re using podcasts or other platforms to grow.

    So grab a cuppa, tune in, and open up your earholes.

  • S3 Ep17: Tax and Accountancy with Ellis Bennett

    S3 Ep17: Tax and Accountancy with Ellis Bennett
    Nov 14 2024
    In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Ellis Bennett, a brilliant accountant who’s challenging the usual accountancy mould. We’re talking all things tax, VAT, and financial essentials for entrepreneurs and side-hustlers—perfect timing if you’re looking to wrap up the year with your finances in check.

    Ellis shares his journey of starting an accountancy firm while travelling—proving that you don’t need to stay in one place to build something successful. He’s now working with nearly 400 clients and has a fresh, no-nonsense approach to business finance that’s all about practicality and keeping you out of HMRC’s bad books.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • Ellis’s Story: How he built an accountancy business on the go, and why going against the grain has been so successful for him.
    • Starting Up Right: Good financial habits from day one are essential. We dive into why and how to get your books sorted from the start.
    • Tax and VAT Basics: If you’re an Amazon or e-commerce seller, you’ll want to listen in. Ellis breaks down VAT thresholds, when to register, and what it means for your profits.
    • Claiming Business Expenses: From mileage and home offices to coffee meetings, we chat about what can (and can’t) be claimed as a business expense.
    • Side Hustles Done Right: I say it all the time—treat it like a proper business! We talk through what you need to know about tax implications as your side income grows.
    • Tax Tools That Work: We discuss how accounting software like QuickBooks can simplify your finances, tracking your mileage, receipts, and invoices automatically.

    Ellis also gives insight into some common mistakes people make—like blending personal and business finances, not tracking receipts, and the importance of regular record-keeping. This is a must-listen if you’re growing a business or side hustle and want to stay on the right side of HMRC!

    Resources:

    • Connect with Ellis: LinkedIn - Ellis Bennett ACCA, Instagram - @EAAccountancy
    • Free Startup Bible: DM Ellis on Instagram to get his guide to setting up your business.

    Next Week: I’ll be sitting down with Russ Britton, the “Honest FBA Guy,” for a chat about Amazon FBA success and how the right mentorship has shaped his business journey.

    So grab a cuppa, tune in, and take some notes to get your business finances sorted!
