This episode, recorded after the ProvenAmazonCourse conference, offers invaluable advice for Amazon sellers, particularly those struggling to find profitable ASINs. The hosts emphasize the importance of consistent effort and a process-oriented mindset over immediate results, likening the initial struggle to a rocket's fuel-intensive launch. It encourages sellers to redefine success by focusing on the effort put into sourcing and analysis, rather than solely on the outcomes, and provides a framework to persist through discouraging early stages of building an Amazon business.
Key takeaways
Focus on the process of analyzing ASINs rather than solely on finding immediate winners. Set a goal for the number of ASINs to review weekly (e.g., 500) and consider achieving this goal a win, regardless of how many profitable ASINs are found in that specific batch.
Understand that initial efforts in Amazon selling require significant "fuel" and persistence, similar to a rocket launch using most of its fuel to escape the atmosphere. Don't be discouraged by early challenges; view them as necessary for breakthrough and long-term success.
Recognize that you won't "win every battle" (e.g., dealing with lost inventory or slow sales on a product) and that losing individual battles doesn't mean losing the overall "war" of building a successful business. Maintain a strong foundation with multiple ASINs to weather individual setbacks.
Adopt a "golf swing" mentality: focus on perfecting your overall process and strategy (the swing) rather than fixating on individual outcomes (the club hitting the ball). The success of hitting the ball is a consequence of a well-executed swing.
In today's episode we have Brian and Robin Joy from Coaches Corner giving us advice for those who recently attended The Proven Conference in Florida and those who are using our strategies taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com Finding success on Amazon takes time and persistence. Focus on understanding ASINs rather than just finding them, and don't expect immediate six or seven-figure success. Believe in your ability to succeed, stay committed, and accept that there will be challenges along the way. Brian's Golf Swing Analogy paints a picture of perfecting and honong bisiness skills. Success on Amazon is like a golf swing where the ball is in the way. Attending conferences, workshops, and getting coaching can significantly increase your chances of success. Combining all three maximizes your potential for success, much like a perfect golf swing. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses deleting shipments in your Amazon seller workflow dashboard. Is it a risk to your account or not?
