A coaching client messaged us this week ready to abandon his method. A few bad matches, a couple wrong orders, and a new surcharge from Amazon and suddenly the grass looks greener everywhere else. We've seen this movie before.    In this episode, we do the math on Amazon's new 3.5% FBA surcharge, show you the free lever most sellers ignore, and talk about why the people who win this game aren't the ones who found the perfect strategy, they're the ones who stopped restarting the clock.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can Jeff help me with trademarks and LLC eastablishment?"

Fear doesn't show up in a cape. He shows up in a cardigan, sits down at your kitchen table with a spreadsheet, and asks if you've run the downside scenario.   In this Coach's Corner, Brian and Robin Joy tell the story of the 11 years they spent "being fine" after a real estate crash, the hemorrhagic stroke that hit Robin weeks after they launched their Amazon business, and the moment they realized that if that didn't stop them, nothing would.   Then they turn it into something you can use. Why almost every seller hits a cash crunch between week seven and week twelve. Why "as much as I can" is not a plan. And the one hire that finally made their business click.   You didn't fail. You just flinched. Now get back up.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If my bank statements don't show the full account number, should I switch banks?"

Most sellers sit down to source and stare at a blank page every single time.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy explain why your product database isn't just a spreadsheet, it's a living asset that compounds over time. Learn why the real game isn't finding products to sell, it's building (and feeding) the engine that finds them for you. Plus: the four layers of a healthy starter, why "I'm going to source" is like "I'm going to the gym" without a plan, and how to shift from hunting to harvesting.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If my bank statements don't show the full account number, should I switch banks?"
