You've learned how Amazon works. You're sourcing, shipping, and seeing sales. Then out of nowhere, the growth stops. You're working hard but not progressing. In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy talk through what they call the stall - that stage where progress plateaus and motivation fades. They unpack why it happens, how to recognize it early, and what to do before it quietly kills your business. Robin shares two stories from her dad - one about a stubborn bloodhound and another about learning to take short-term pain over long-term frustration. Both reveal how comfort keeps you stuck. This episode blends tough love, humor, and practical coaching to help you push through the stall, build real momentum, and start owning your business instead of letting it own you. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I ignore messages that come to me via Amazon messaging from other sellers?"
