In 2014, while on maternity leave, Sophie realized she didn't want to return to full-time work.  So she started an Amazon store and sold $1M in products during her first year in business. It was the ardent desire to stay at home to care for her expanded family led Sophie to explore home-based business options. How did she do it?  With the popularity of internet businesses on the rise, Sophie enrolled in an Amazon Private Label Selling course. Whilst the course offered solid information to get her business off the ground, the advice was to start by procuring inexpensive, popular items from China. Something about this didn't feel right and so instead of following the trend, Sophie sourced and invested in a handmade product from Nepal. Her gamble paid off and through strategic branding efforts and leveraging the skills she gleaned from her time in the workforce. After the success of her first product, Sophie went on to launch 400 items and sold her first Amazon business for seven-figures.  Over the next 2 years, she established and scaled multiple Amazon businesses. She founded and sold an organic tea business, Higher Tea for multiple six-figures USD. In 2016, Sophie founded Sell Global, a company which aims to help exporters increase revenue and sell premium products online through their done-for-you service. In the same year, Sophie became a finalist in the Wellington Gold Awards for Emerging Exporter of the Year. With her success in building and scaling product based business online, Sophie now leverages the experience she has gained in building multiple 7-figure Amazon businesses to deliver coaching to those wanting to launch their international business along with a membership-based Product University called Blue Sky Amazon.  Sophie lives in Wanaka, New Zealand and has two young children.
