The gloriously long hot summer of 2021 provided a much-needed antidote to the world’s post-Covid blues.<\/p>\n

For most people, it was a time to kick back, relax and enjoy the delights of the great outdoors again.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this wasn’t exactly the case for me.<\/p>\n

Or Richard.<\/p>\n

In fact, that same summer was right up there as one of the most intense periods in our lives.<\/p>\n

Most of which was spent indoors<\/em>, with our faces super-glued to the computer screen.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Because having been contacted by various Amazon Aggregators<\/a> at the beginning of July 2021, we were both knee-deep in due diligence<\/a> throughout the proceeding period.<\/p>\n

And we were not alone, either.<\/p>\n

You see:<\/p>\n

Countless other Amazon FBA sellers<\/a> were also navigating the sale of their own business<\/a> during the summer of 2021.<\/p>\n

In what has now been described as the peek of acquisition activity, following the prior 24-month boom in all things e-commerce.<\/p>\n

One year after selling<\/h3>\n

And so, here we are.<\/p>\n

A full 12 months have passed since Richard closed the deal on his Amazon FBA business.<\/p>\n

I still have a few more weeks to wait before celebrating the same anniversary.<\/p>\n

This inevitably got us thinking about our respective FBA brands<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

Specifically:<\/p>\n

What we have learnt since handing over the day-to-day operations, the things we would have done differently and, of course, what a new Amazon business<\/a> might look like in 2022.<\/p>\n

It was an emotional, sometimes painful, and yet highly productive session to say the least.<\/p>\n

Want to know the best part?<\/p>\n

After a few hours of reminiscing between ourselves, we decided to open up the conversation with our large network of other post-exit FBA sellers.<\/p>\n

To really ‘dig into the weeds’ of what it’s like to run an Amazon business<\/a> and how life had changed, following their recent sale.<\/p>\n

This is where things got really interesting.<\/p>\n

The 2021 post-exiteers<\/h3>\n

With informal sessions set up with more than 30 participants at the beginning of July this year, we set ourselves the challenge of competing all ‘interviews’ within a week.<\/p>\n

Five short and sweet questions were posed.<\/p>\n

The results of which are summarised below.<\/p>\n

I’ll probably write up a more detailed post on the findings of our somewhat impulsive survey.<\/p>\n

But for now, it might be nice to picture how YOU will feel without the burden of running your current business and a tidy (large) deposit in your bank account.<\/p>\n
