John Kyle (JK) Beaton

John Kyle (JK) Beaton is a seasoned entrepreneur who understands the hustle of bootstrapping and scaling businesses on tight budgets. In 2017, he launched a home storage brand with just $8,000, balancing a full-time job and a young family. By 2020, his determination and strategic approach transformed that modest start into a multi-million-dollar business - all without external funding.

JK's entrepreneurial journey began in 2007, sourcing products through Alibaba and exploring international trade. Fluent in Chinese and with extensive experience living, studying, and working in China, he developed deep expertise in bridging Chinese and Western business cultures. This unique skill set has been instrumental in his success as both a business owner and sourcing expert.

Today, JK and his wife Xiaofeng lead China Product Pros, an agency with a team of 15 spanning Canada and China. Their mission is to help eCommerce entrepreneurs optimize sourcing by ensuring high-quality products, reducing costs, and building reliable factory relationships. JK is passionate about sharing insights, swapping stories about growth, and supporting entrepreneurs as they navigate the challenges of scaling their businesses while balancing family life.
