As we wrap up the final morning of the Cross-Border Mastermind Pattaya 2025, I’m buzzing with energy from four incredible days of learning, sharing, and growth. This year, we extended the event to 4 days and 3 nights (up from 3 days and 2 nights), striking the perfect balance between intense mastermind sessions and unforgettable experiences in Pattaya, Thailand.
A Game-Changing Experience for Amazon FBA Sellers
The Cross-Border Mastermind brought together 10 passionate Amazon FBA sellers, including participants like Jason Green, Sivan Gilad, and Chip Ge, to dive deep into the strategies driving their businesses forward. Our mastermind room was a hub of collaboration, filled with post-it notes, whiteboards, and screensharing sessions. This wasn’t a conference with polished speakers—it was a circle of equals openly discussing the highs, lows, and gritty realities of e-commerce.
Key topics, drawn from attendee surveys, fueled our discussions:
- TikTok Shop and External Traffic: Sellers shared tactics for leveraging platforms like TikTok Shop, addressing challenges like those faced by Jason, who’s eager to “crush it” on TikTok, and Sivan, who’s tackling outside traffic and user-generated content.
- AI for Listings and PPC: Attendees like Chip, a fan of AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, explored how AI can optimize listings and PPC campaigns for better efficiency and ROI.
- Product Design and Sourcing: With Sivan’s 20 years of sourcing expertise and Chip’s experiences with factory communication, we dug into practical solutions for streamlining product development.
- Scaling Profit Margins: From Sivan’s goal in sales to Chip’s aim for margins, we swapped strategies for boosting profitability.
- New Platforms: Discussions on expanding to Walmart, Faire, and new Amazon marketplaces aligned with attendees’ diversification goals.
- Branding and Hiring: Jason’s branding insights and Chip’s plans to hire a brand manager sparked ideas for scaling operations.
Beyond the Mastermind Room
We didn’t just talk shop. The event blended intense sessions with unique activities to foster connections and recharge. Picture this: a yacht trip to a real monkey island, sauna and ice bath sessions, and vibrant nighttime networking (a preference for attendees like Jason). While daytime activities like jet skiing were available, the focus remained on learning, growth, and masterminding, as requested by our attendees.
Real Value, Real Connections
As a host and a seller with 21 years of experience, I’m continually inspired by these events. Hearing others navigate similar roadblocks whether it’s margin compression, product launches, or hiring reminds us we’re not alone. The open sharing of successes and challenges, protected by our Non-Disclosure Agreement, created a safe space for deep insights. Attendees like Sivan, with expertise in sourcing from China, and Jason, with branding know-how, brought immense value to the group.
What’s Next?
The Pattaya Mastermind was a success, and we’re already planning the next one! Join us after the Cross Border Summit (November 3 – 5, 2025) for the Cross-Border Mastermind in Phuket (November 7 – 10, 2025), where we’ll add another day for even more collaboration.
