A lot of Amazon sellers focus on finding the next winning product but that’s not where the real advantage lives.
In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack why where you compete matters far more than what you sell. They connect timeless business strategy to today’s FBA landscape, showing how sellers can use proven frameworks to make better decisions, protect profit, and build staying power.
You’ll hear why chasing the Buy Box can quietly drain your margins, how systems outperform tools, and what actually separates the seven-figure sellers from the ones who stall out.
This is strategy made simple: practical, encouraging, and refreshingly honest for resellers who want real profit instead of vanity sales.
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.

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?"

Over the years we’ve seen literally thousands of people using a couple dozen different strategies to try to earn a great income from the world’s largest e-commerce platform.
Today we explore several of the options you have and then explain why we feel so strongly about one particular strategy. It's the foundational strategy taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com new seller modules.
The strategy we are most excited to start all new students with is called Replens, and right now is arguably the best time ever to get started based on obvious trends, software that is now available as well as Amazon‘s own efforts to smooth the process of being a reseller.
Several other opportunities are discussed today as well including building a brand, KDP books, selling used books, drop shipping and others.

Todays guest : Marvelin
Most Amazon sellers chase precision when they should be chasing progress.
In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack what it really takes to simplify your systems, trust your numbers, and finally reach the point where the business can pay you.
They break down three powerful frameworks that connect structure, clarity, and growth:
The Three ASIN Types: How to turn chaos into clarity and start treating listings like data, not drama.
Profit Clarity: Why chasing perfect numbers kills momentum and how discipline compounds faster than data accuracy.
The Profit Profile Framework: What to do when you are profitable on paper but still not getting paid.
As Winston Churchill reminded us, “Perfection is the enemy of progress.”
This episode is your reminder that the fastest path to clarity and cash flow is testing more ASINs, not perfecting the spreadsheet.
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Is it true that IP complaints are really no big deal?"

After being let go from his job a few months ago, Brandon and his wife went "all in" with their Amazon business. In spite of using only $150 sto start with for inventory, they've built a fantastic business and on this episode you'll hear their story. We celebrate with them as they've just passed the six figures in total sales because of their work using ProvenAmazonCourse concepts and 3PMercury to manage their business.
They credit the community of Business Building Warriors and the relationships they've established for not only improving their income, but also in their own words, "helping to save our marriage and bringing us closer to God" - they are doing business together from home now and the future is bright.
We love telling ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching success stories on our podcast and this is a great one!

Ever feel like your brain’s leaking out your ears after a few hours of learning Amazon?
That’s physics, not failure.
In this episode, Brian & Robin Joy unpack why your brain should feel overloaded at first and how to turn big, heavy concepts (“two-by-fours”) into light, manageable habits (“toothpicks”). You’ll learn the real reason overwhelm is part of the process and how repetition, not perfection, is what turns chaos into clarity.
In this conversation:
How to know when you’ve hit your “mental limit” (and why that’s a win, not a warning)
The two most common “two-by-fours” new sellers struggle to whittle down and how to spot them fast
Why mastering Pre-Flight and Bridging the Gap transforms your sourcing confidence overnight
What Trader Joe’s listings can teach you about risk, timing, and diversification
The counterintuitive reason Amazon’s increasing restrictions are actually protecting your future
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Are Walmart policies changing and maturing?"

Being a successful Amazon reseller is not getting more complicated. Quite the contrary - it’s getting simpler over time as the tools available to us do more and more of the heavy lifting. Even artificial intelligence is coming into the picture making it possible for any seller who are paying attention to begin tapping into unprecedented levels of opportunity that have been right under our nose the entire time, but very difficult to detect until now.
Amazon's catalog is exploding with new opportunities daily, and we are here to show you how to tap into it with the latest approach to creative success on the world's most successful ecommerce site!
Today’s interview with Khang Dang as an update on some of the incredible new features that are being included in 3PMercury as well as an invitation to come see a demonstration on October 23 ( https://3PMercury.com/webinar ) where he will display the elegant solutions now available to any seller who wants to put the power of the industry leading automation workflow tool to work for them in their e-commerce journey.

What does Amazon corporate think of resellers and what are they doing to address the most common pain points sellers face?

>The bright future of reselling on Amazon
>The increased attention Amazon is paying to reseller issues that serve the best interest of customers, Amazon itself as well as sellers
>The latest news on what changes Amazon has planned in our favor and what's already been done
Topics covered
>What are the biggest challenges Amazon sellers are facing and what is Amazon corporate doing about it!
>Gating / ungating issues
>Maximum pricing transparency is coming from Amazon
>Counterfeit without a test buy - what's up with that?
>Gray market vs. counterfeit
>what about used books?
>Much more

Everyone wants to believe there’s a point where your Amazon business finally runs itself - no more testing, tweaking, or chaos.
Spoiler: that point doesn’t exist.
In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy pull apart the myth of “getting it right” and show you why perfection is the enemy of progress. You’ll hear how to spot the moment you’ve slipped from improving into stalling, how to stop “prettying up the nest,” and why a messy business is usually a healthy one.
This one’s equal parts relief and reality check - a permission slip to quit chasing done and start chasing better.
You’ll learn:
Why chasing perfection kills momentum
The difference between organizing and optimizing
How to use testing as your best teacher
Why “messy” might be your best KPI yet
And when your next five ASINs don’t pan out?
You already know the answer. Test more ASINs.
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What are the realities of Amazon suspensions and reinstatements?"

When things get tough, are you still committed?
In this episode of Coach’s Corner, Brian and Robin flip the script and dive into three forces that shape every success story - commitment, development, and belief.
You’ll hear why talent alone isn’t enough without daily reps, why commitment guarantees the outcome (even if the path surprises you), and how belief carries you through the plot twists. Along the way, they share stories about learning to walk, chasing driver’s licenses, Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, and even Robin’s piano lessons with Mrs. Kimberland and her Clark bars.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated but not ready to quit, this conversation will give you the encouragement, and the practical takeaways, you need to keep moving.
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.

I recently posted in our Facebook group looking for anyone who :
was new to our group
was a bit skeptical
had many questions
was willing to be on our podcast
I found a great candidate! You're about to meet Michael. He volunteered, and we had a great discussion about:
ungating
done for you business models
drop shipping
3PMercury for new sellers
the various ways to build a great business on Amazon
what it means to "fill the underserved and understocked shelves" in Amazon's massive warehouse networks...
And much more.

On today's episode we look at a handful of factors you should consider before you go down the path of "going it alone" by trial-and-error in your pursuit of a great business on Amazon.
The factors we discuss are:
The common mistakes you'll make (as listed at SilentJim.com/mistakes)
The amount of time required to learn on your own
The unnecessary tools and time wasting "experts" you'll likely accumulate
The bad inventory you'll fall into
The very real cost of isolation
The high price of no early momentum

Every Amazon seller wrestles with risk, should you take a small loss today to unlock bigger opportunities tomorrow?
In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack the myths and mindsets around risk tolerance, testing, and building a sustainable business.
You’ll hear:
Why “losing a little to win a lot” only works if it’s part of a strategy, not a gamble
How to use the 3-Step Check and Keepa data to frame risk without getting blindsided
The real purpose of early tests (hint: it’s not winning every time)
How to handle the emotional rollercoaster of failed tests without letting shame or fear derail you
Why your long-term wins depend on reps, patience, and building a foundation, not quick dopamine hits
This is a conversation about risk, resilience, and the upside of sticking with the process long enough to see the breakthroughs.
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?"

Today's guest is a ProvenAmazonCourse.com and coaching student who is thrilled with his results so far! It's another great interview with a student who started just a few months ago and is getting great results as we head into Fall 2025. He has a full-time job so he can't work more than a few hours per week, but he's aiming to finish the year with $20K in total sales at great margins - and from there the sky is the limit!
He has so much encouragement to share and really breaks down what's he experienced so far very well. He's a big fan of 3pMercury, his coaches, ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and the culture of our free facebook community and events!
You'll be encouraged and inspired as well as Gus and Jim spend time talking about the powerful personal story of triumph over tragedy and the remarkable story of Khang - the creator of 3PMercury software.
