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?"

"I run out of inventory money WAY before I run out of great products I can sell" - a quote from our guest today.   On this episode we talk to another ProvenAmazonCourse.com student who is VERY part time, but it's not just the profits from his Amazon business that he's enjoying - he also loves all the credit card points he's collecting! As a matter of fact, the opportunity to maximize the use of points was the driving reason he even got into Amazon selling! His goal was to merely break even and enjoy all the points, but he's raking in nice profits as well!   With a very part-time effort he's found 114,000 viable products to load into 3PMercury and he says he has "pages and pages" of great products he can buy at any given time.   This is yet another coaching student success story as well!

  If you've ever run out of your best-selling products faster than you can restock them, wondered what ROI you should actually be targeting, or watched your buy box disappear and immediately reached for the repricer - this episode is for you.   Brian and Robin unpack one of the most misunderstood realities in Amazon selling: three questions that look completely different on the surface are actually the same question wearing different masks. And the answer to all three is almost always the same word. Price.   In this episode you'll learn: Why running out of stock is a pricing problem, not a sourcing problem What ROI floor you should be targeting, and why it connects directly to your velocity What actually causes a buy box to disappear (hint: it's not your price) Why panic pricing hands your profit directly to the seller who held their number How to read a suppressed buy box for what it actually is - a delivery signal, not a pricing signal    Brian drops the line that ties it all together: "Price is

Why do so many sellers stay stuck even after watching courses, reading books, and buying tools?   In this Coach's Corner episode, Brian and Robin share a powerful story about the Wright Brothers and Samuel Langley. One had funding, prestige, and a perfect plan. The other simply kept testing. Only one of them flew.   That story opens a conversation about a common trap Amazon sellers fall into. Over-planning. Endless research. Waiting for the perfect moment to start. Brian and Robin break down a simple three-question filter that helps you cut through the noise and focus on the next right move in your business.   You'll learn: • Why planning too far ahead keeps sellers stuck • How to tell the difference between real progress and "feeling busy" • The simple Now vs. Later filter that keeps you focused • Why boring systems usually mean your business is working • The one action challenge you should complete this week   If you feel overwhelmed by tools, courses, or endless advice, this episode will help you reset and

You've heard us say for several months now that Amazon reselling is getting simpler by the day because of the technology and strategies we are deploying for our students.   Another major breakthrough has just happened and it's more true or now than it has ever been. Amazon reselling is getting simpler.   Today we spend time with the founder of 3PMercury discussing the latest automations that are making the lives of Amazon sellers so much easier with so much more opportunity emerging for all of us literally daily!   The latest news... New technology is allowing sellers to automatically monitor the inventory levels of their suppliers, as well as the REAL TIME COSTS OF REORDERING more inventory. Example, if an item that used to cost $7 at Walmart now costs only $6 (or goes up to say, $9), 3PMercury knows and makes repurchase suggestions based on real time inventory cost updates! This means that 3P mercury software can now recommend with more confidence than ever the lowest hanging fruit opportunities in your pro

Robin Joy survived a birthday party at Slick City...barely. What started as a 60-year-old launching herself face-first off an indoor slide (and going viral for it) turned into the most honest conversation we've had about why watching other sellers succeed doesn't prepare you for the moment you actually try it yourself.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy break down the three stages every Amazon seller goes through, and the costly mistake most people make by skipping straight to stage three before they've earned it. If you've ever wondered why your sourcing feels like luck some days and chaos others, this one's for you.     Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I just use ChatGPT to respond to an Amazon POA (plan of action) request?"
