We share our experiences about the safety concerns in China, travel challenges, and the importance of thorough research when attending trade shows.    We also talk about the networking opportunities going to China provides for Amazon sellers. We delve into the intricacies of product sourcing and development in the e-commerce space, particularly focusing on the advantages of Chinese manufacturing. We discuss strategies for identifying niche markets, the importance of building strong relationships with suppliers, and the rapid product development process that allows sellers to capitalize on emerging trends. The conversation also highlights the significance of differentiation in a competitive market and the benefits of being a first mover. The Big Takeaway Chris's product sourcing strategy involves developing accessories for popular products. The Canton Fair is divided into three phases, each focusing on different product categories. Networking is a key benefit of attending the Canton Fair. Post-COVID, there are fewer American attendees at the Canton Fair. Visa regulations for entering China can be complex and vary by nationality. Chris emphasizes how important of visiting suppliers' factories in China. Attendees should plan for at least 10 days to fully experience the Canton Fair. Designing accessories around popular products is effective. Predictive keyword popularity can lead to successful products. Niche markets can provide significant opportunities. Building relationships with factories is crucial for success. Rapid product development is key to staying competitive. Differentiation is essential in a crowded market. First-mover advantage can lead to increased sales.

Ashley shares her journey of starting her law firm during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.Ashley provides some insights on the benefits and lessons learned from narrowing a practice as it relates to running a law firm. For Ashley, who used to work in the dental field, niching down in the legal space to do dental transitions was a familiar thing. For those who are hoping to narrow down a practice field, it is good to think about areas you already have expertise in. Did you focus on a specific practice in law school? Did you spend a year articling for a specific lawyer and learned the ins and outs of that field? Play to your strengths when you are thinking about narrowing or niching down your firm.It is no surprise that lawyers are very busy and suffer from burnout quickly. Ashley and Tyson chat about the importance of self care for lawyers. Most lawyers wear many hats and dedicating time to self care will not only allow you to last longer in the business but have a better outlook on life.

This can help you stay on track to dedicating time to it and show others that it matters to you so they respect that time.Listen in to learn more from Ashley!03:01 Niche Practice Area Dynamics 04:58 Client Expectations in Niching 05:50 Benefits of Specialization 12:04 Challenges in Valuing Law Firms 13:08 Importance of Self-Care Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.Connect with Ashley:Website Instagram  Facebook  LinkedIn  Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn
