    S3 Ep11: Title: Natalie Cromie. A personal family journey in 2024
    Oct 2 2024
    Welcome back to the Goodbye Poor, Hello Rich Show. This week’s episode is a big one for me personally. After months of working behind the scenes, Luke and I have officially launched the TikTok Shop Affiliate Mastery course. It’s been an absolute rollercoaster leading up to the launch, and I’m sharing all the highs and lows with you. From technical issues to smashing through 600+ signups in just a few hours, this episode gives you a real look at how it all unfolded.

    We also talk about the incredible opportunity TikTok Shop presents right now. With TikMarketing behind us, we’re offering unparalleled support, insider access to top-selling products, and expert guidance to help you build your own affiliate success on TikTok. This is just the start, and we’re ready to take things to the next level.

    In the second part of the episode, I sit down with Natalie, my FBA mentor and good friend, for a deeply personal conversation. Natalie shares the emotional journey her family has been on since her daughter, Indiana, was diagnosed with leukaemia. It’s a story that will hit home for anyone balancing life’s toughest challenges while running a business.

    Natalie speaks about the strength she’s found in adversity, how her business allowed her the flexibility to care for her daughter, and the role the NHS and charities like Abbey’s Heroes and Young Lives vs Cancer have played in supporting her family. We also chat about the charity walk she’s doing to raise money for these life-saving causes.

    If you’re looking for insight into how to build resilience in both life and business, or simply want to be inspired by someone who’s managed to keep it all going through unimaginable challenges, this episode is for you.

    Key Takeaways:

    • My reflections on the launch of our TikTok Shop Affiliate course and how TikMarketing is helping us provide the best support for affiliates.
    • Natalie’s powerful story about managing her business while caring for her daughter through a leukaemia diagnosis.
    • The importance of resilience, mindset, and community in overcoming life’s challenges.
    • How the right business model can give you the freedom to focus on what matters most.

    Sep 26 2024
    This one is BIG:

    In this episode of the Goodbye Poor Hello Rich Show, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most exciting ventures I’ve been involved in—TikTok Shop Affiliate Marketing. I’ll be giving you an in-depth look at how my partner Luke and I amassed over 1,300 signups for our new TikTok Shop Affiliate program in just a matter of days. I talk about the madness, the excitement, and the pure hustle that’s gone into building something that we’re certain can be life-changing for so many people.

    We’ll be diving into how this model works, the power of TikTok shop affiliates, and why I believe this is the biggest opportunity I’ve come across in my journey and the best Luke has come across in his six years of his e-commerce journey. You’ll hear about real success stories, from the trainer in our community that made £22k off one video. If you're interested in diversifying your income streams or exploring the world of affiliate marketing, you won’t want to miss this.

    Luke and I answer your burning questions about getting started, sourcing products, and what it really takes to build this as a sustainable, resilient business. Trust me, you don’t need thousands of followers to make this work - just grit, consistency and more resilience than a baby trying to grab a cookie just that little bit out of reach.

    And for those of you interested in the community, we talk about how to get on the waitlist and secure one of the first 500 spots at an insane £25 per month, locked in for life.

    This is a serious opportunity to transform your financial future. As Luke likes to say: Let’s goOoOOoo!

    Key Talking Points:

    • How Luke and I built massive anticipation for our TikTok Shop Affiliate programme.
    • Breaking down the TikTok affiliate model: what it is and why it works
    • Real-life examples of people making thousands from a single post
    • How Claire, with zero TikTok experience, became a paid influencer in 2 months
    • Why you don’t need thousands of followers to succeed
    • Answering community questions: sourcing products, resilience, and how to get started
    • Why this opportunity is the biggest game-changer I’ve seen in the e-commerce space

  • S3 Ep9: Des and Mrs Hamilton: Part 2. Business and Marriage, Covid and Debt

    S3 Ep9: Des and Mrs Hamilton: Part 2. Business and Marriage, Covid and Debt
    Sep 19 2024
    Welcome back to Goodbye Poor, Hello Rich with me, Des Hamilton. In this episode, I’m continuing the conversation with my business partner and wife, Claire, where we get stuck in with the chat about how we’ve built our business while navigating the ups and downs of life.

    Last week’s episode, where Claire was properly introduced for the first time, received amazing feedback, and we even charted in the top 20 again. It’s clear that our story is striking a chord with many of you out there who are in the same boat. The reality is, we’re all feeling the pinch, aren’t we? From rising costs to juggling responsibilities, life hasn’t been easy for a lot of us, but there is a way forward.

    In this episode, Claire and I reflect on our journey over the last six years – from meeting in 2018 to transforming our careers from traditional roles into full-time entrepreneurs. We talk candidly about the pressures of debt, the impact COVID had on our lives, and the turning point when we realised something had to change. We’ve made the shift from pay workers to business owners, and we’re sharing what worked for us, what didn’t, and why building multiple income streams has been key to our success.

    Some key moments from this episode:

    • How Claire and I transitioned from full-time jobs to running our own business
    • The impact of COVID on family and work life, and how it pushed us to seek more freedom
    • Why diversifying income streams has been crucial for us
    • Reflections on working together as a married couple and how we balance business with family life
    • The mindset shifts we’ve had to make, and what drives us to keep going
    I’m also gearing up for next week’s episode, where I’ll be sitting down with Luke Colwell to talk about an exciting new opportunity outside of Amazon that we believe can change lives. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!

    So, grab a brew, settle in, and let’s get into it.

  • S3 Ep8: Mrs Hamilton, the better half of this partnership shares her story

    S3 Ep8: Mrs Hamilton, the better half of this partnership shares her story
    Sep 12 2024
    Welcome back to the Goodbye Poor, Hello Rich show! This week, we’ve got a much-anticipated episode lined up—my wife and business partner, Claire, is joining me for a conversation about her journey from being a secondary school maths teacher to stepping into the world of business full-time.

    Claire and I sit down at our dinner table to talk about how her role in teaching shifted over the years, with growing pressures and responsibilities that went far beyond just teaching maths. She shares her thoughts on the increasing demands placed on teachers in the UK and how the erosion of public services played a big part in her decision to leave the profession.

    We also cover the reality of our own transition from traditional careers to running our own business. Claire talks about the early days of juggling family life and work, the learning curve of sourcing for Amazon FBA, and how she ended up proving she’s better at it than me! We touch on some of the challenges and the steps we took to make this lifestyle change work for us.

    If you’ve ever considered leaving a secure job to pursue something different, there’s plenty in here that might resonate with you. Claire’s perspective offers insight into managing risk, adjusting priorities, and finding a path that aligns with what really matters to you and your family.

    In This Episode:

    • Claire’s story from teaching to business.
    • The changing landscape of the teaching profession.
    • Balancing work, family, and a new business venture.
    • Real talk about sourcing for Amazon FBA and the learning process.
    • Our approach to managing business as a couple and what’s next for us.
    We’ve kept it straightforward and honest, covering the highs and lows without any fluff. It’s a different kind of episode, and I think you’ll find it refreshing.

    A big thanks to our sponsor, SellerAMP SAS, the best sourcing analysis software for Amazon sellers. Keep an eye out for some big news coming soon!

    Tune in, have a listen, and let us know what you think. If you want more from Claire, check out her TikTok for a taste of what she’s up to @thebusymom8.

    Enjoy the episode, and see you next time!

  • S3 Ep7: Challenge is done. What next?

    S3 Ep7: Challenge is done. What next?
    Sep 5 2024
    Welcome back to the “Goodbye Poor, Hello Rich” show with me, Des Hamilton. This episode is all about gearing up for Q4. If you’re in the game, you know that Q4 is where the magic happens, where the graft really pays off. If you’re not prepared, what are you even doing? I’m talking about our Q4 strategy and what it looks like – from snapping up deals in January to squirrelling away the good stuff, we’ve been on it all year. If you're just starting out, get ready for a wild ride; if you're a seasoned seller, it’s time to check in and see where you can up your game.

    But it’s not all business – I’m also reflecting on what it means to really live the life you want. I spent this summer doing something I’ve been dreaming of – actually being there, in the moment, with my kids, for the entire summer break. No meetings, no clocking in, just being present. We didn’t jet off anywhere, but we made it count. This freedom – time freedom – is one of the ‘whys’ in why I started this whole journey. I wanted to share that with you all because we’re often so focused on the financial side of freedom that we forget what it’s really about – being there for the ones that matter most.

    Now that the kids are back to school, it’s game on. Time to make these last four months count. If you're ready to flip the script on your own life, I'm here to guide you – no fluff, no scams, just real talk and real action.

    And if that wasn’t enough, it’s been one of those mad weeks where everything happens at once. From getting featured on ITV after a TikTok rant about Oasis tickets to hitting 10,000 members in the Facebook group, it’s been non-stop. But you know what? This is what happens when you show up consistently – things start to happen.

    So buckle up – we’re talking about Q4 strategy, making money, and making memories. If you’re ready to get serious about your future, to grab 2024 by the horns and turn it around, you’re in the right place. Let’s go, let’s get stuck in, and let’s make some noise.

  • S3 Ep6: Ditching the Rat Race!

    S3 Ep6: Ditching the Rat Race!
    Aug 29 2024
    In this week's episode of the "Goodbye Rich Show," I’m talking you through my journey of leaving behind the comfort and security of a 25-year career as an employee to embrace the unpredictable but incredibly rewarding world of full-time entrepreneurship. I've been shifting my mindset from thinking like an employee to fully stepping into the shoes of a director – even though I've technically had the title for over two years. It’s been a massive mental shift, and I’m not alone in this. More and more people are waking up to the fact that the traditional job for life isn’t cutting it anymore, especially when the loyalty and benefits that once defined employment are rapidly dwindling.

    I’ll share what’s driven me to make this change and the lessons I've learned along the way, like why it's vital to diversify your income streams. I’m here to help those of you listening who are stuck in a job you no longer love or are simply tired of the rat race. I’ve been there, and I know how difficult it can be to make that leap. But trust me, it's worth it. I’ll also let you in on my plans for the future, including some exciting new projects – like a coaching programme that could help you replicate the success I’ve achieved, moving from a £200 investment to over £100,000 in under two years.

    Plus, I'm thrilled to bring you part two of my chat with Mark and Henry, a father-son team who are turning their family business into a true e-commerce powerhouse. We talk about everything from setting up multiple income streams and diversifying their business, to the challenges of homeschooling for entrepreneurship. It's a fantastic conversation that touches on the importance of resilience, community, and the sheer determination it takes to make a dream work – whether you're selling on Amazon, TikTok Shop, or even knocking on the doors of estate agents.

    So, if you're wondering whether self-employment is right for you, or if you’re looking for tips on scaling your existing venture, this episode is packed with insights to help you get started. Join me for a no-nonsense, down-to-earth chat on what it takes to break free from the status quo and build a life on your own terms.

  • S3 Ep5: Father and Son (13 years old) Taking Amazon by Storm!

    S3 Ep5: Father and Son (13 years old) Taking Amazon by Storm!
    Aug 22 2024
    In this episode of the "Goodbye Poor, Hello Rich" show, we're talking about the critical role that networking and mentorship play in building a successful e-commerce business.

    Recently, I attended a networking event hosted by our sponsors, SellerAMP SAS. It’s one thing to interact online, but seeing the impact our community has in person really drives home why we do this.

    The heart of this episode is my conversation with Mark and Henry, a father-son duo who have built a thriving e-commerce business together. Mark, a former colleague of mine, reached out after seeing what I was doing with my e-commerce journey. He and his teenage son Henry decided to take the plunge into the world of online selling, and their story is a testament to what can be achieved when you combine determination, smart strategies, and the support of a solid community.

    We talk about how they started with no experience, the challenges they’ve overcome, and how they’ve made it work as a family business. They’ve had their fair share of bumps in the road, but what’s impressive is how they’ve learned from every setback and kept moving forward. We also discuss the importance of knowing when to switch between business and family roles, a balance that’s crucial when working with those closest to you.

    What really stands out about their story is the way they’ve used networking and mentorship to grow. They didn’t try to figure everything out on their own—they reached out, learned from others, and applied those lessons to build something sustainable. Their journey is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t underestimate the value of being part of a community, whether it’s through events like the one at SellerAMP SAS or online groups where you can share knowledge and support each other.

    So, if you're serious about growing your e-commerce business, this episode is for you. Mark and Henry’s journey is full of practical insights that you can apply to your own business. Listen in to get the full story and pick up some tips on how to leverage your network and mentors to push your business to the next level.
