Is your Amazon business stuck on the “buy, sell out, start over” ride? Ed Dassey was right there until a hard look at consistency, cash flow, and simple systems flipped the script.
In this conversation, Ed shares how he went from a sporadic side gig to $260K in 2020, nearly $500K the next year, and now heading toward $1M in revenues. You’ll hear what finally ended the feast-or-famine cycle and why he now manages to a spend goal instead of chasing revenue. You’ll also get the mindset shift that killed his imposter syndrome and the three words he uses to run the whole operation: Source. Ship. Sell.
You’ll learn:
The #1 mistake that keeps new sellers stuck (and the simple fix that creates traction).
Why weekly and monthly spend are better leading indicators than revenue and how to set a realistic spend goal.
How Ed scaled OA with tools like Keepa, AZInsight, Tactical Arbitrage, Source Mogul, and Nepeto before rehiring VAs the right way.
Practical ways to track expenses from day one so cash doesn’t quietly leak out.
A resilient mindset for when Amazon throws curveballs, plus the quote Ed leans on when things get tough: “What you think about, you bring about.”
If you’d like to work with Ed, reach out to the coaching office. Just come ready to roll up your sleeves ;)

Today's guest Shayne Major
For over 10 years, I’ve given some pretty hardlined advice in regards to the use of "leads lists" and "buy lists" for Amazon sellers. My basic advice has been to only use them if you are extremely experienced or flat-out crazy.
These lists are compiled by those who claim they've "done the research for you," and you can just go purchase everything on the list and make money! Baloney!!
Today, I explain why I am now fully on board with using leads lists if you have the budget for them!
What's changed? I'll explain in the episode, but the bottom line is 3PMercury and ProvenAmazonCourse.com training have caused a disruptive earthquake of opportunity for sellers!
Leads lists are now paying off in big ways for those who know how to use them properly. I explain how to use them properly on today’s episode.

It’s easy to get hooked on those gold bars in your Amazon seller app, the quick sales, the dopamine hit, the “I’m really doing this” feeling. But what happens when the screen refreshes at the end of the month and the profits aren’t there?
In this Coach’s Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy dig into the difference between chasing sales volume (the empty calories of your business) and building around high-quality, profitable ASINs (the meaty beasts that actually feed you long-term).
You’ll hear:
Why lowering prices for more sales can quietly starve your profits
The common trap of comparing your “gold bars” to everyone else’s highlight reel
How to use the Profit Profile coaching session to see what’s really happening in your margins
The mindset shift from incremental growth to exponential breakthroughs
Practical ways to hunt for ASINs with real staying power instead of chasing every small win
If you’ve ever felt like you’re working harder but not getting ahead, this episode will help you reset your focus—and start building a business that actually pays you.
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of https://JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Are Walmart policies changing and maturing?"

The most powerful tool for Amazon and Walmart sellers (3PMercury) just keeps getting better! We are conquering UNGATING challenges, giving away a free on-screen calculator to our loyal audience only (others will soon have to pay!) - and now we are even going INTERNATIONAL!
Hundreds of sellers in our community are now automating the vast majority of the process of running their Amazon reselling businesses using the tool that was born in our community of sellers and is being shaped daily by the input of successful sellers who listen to this podcast.
I'm talking about 3PMercury software!
Today we spend time with Khang Dang - he's the founder of 3PMercury who has been on our show several time - most notably in episode 754 which is my personal favorite. Today he shares several great updates on what's been recently added to this increasingly POWERFUL tool that's giving sellers an almost unfair advantage in the Amazon/Walmart reselling game!
We also discuss updates on the FREE 3PMercury sourcing calculator/extension and talk about how you can lock in free-for-life access (no credit card required and no feature restrictions!) before we begin charging for it. Why pay for a competing tool when you can have the 3PMercury extension for free?
Also discussed:
> the latest training content for sellers who want to automate their business with 3PMercury as taught at the recent TheProvenConference.com virtual conference
> some killer updates on UNGATING
> and finally big announcements on the INTERNATIONAL OFFER for 3PMercury - we are going global within days! The software will soon work in multiple non-US markets!

There's a reason we start all new Amazon sellers in our community with the same proven, time tested, low risk, low cost, high odds of success model. It works. It's the core new seller model taught in our award winning ProvenAmazonCourse.com training and our coaching.
What is that model?
Filling the underserved and unstocked shelf space at Amazon's 100s of warehouses in the US with common, boring and easily sourced inventory is simply a beautiful, expansive and fully automatable biz model - as evidenced by the 100s of success stories on our show!
But many new sellers go down different paths and regret it...
What are the common paths that new sellers go down, and what are the risks and challenges of each of them? We talk about wholesale, private label, selling used books, thrifting and clearance aisle sourcing among other models and explain why they all pale in comparison to starting out with selling replenishables sourced easily online of from any authorized retailer.

Hitting $10K–$20K a month feels like you’ve “made it” until you realize the bottom line doesn’t match the top. In this episode of Coaches Corner, Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the messy, exciting, and sometimes frustrating shift from simple growth to true scaling.
They share real coaching stories, personal business lessons, and vivid analogies (yes, even drums and bikes) to explain:
Why working harder isn’t the same as building smarter
The “book of business” mindset that keeps you from being sunk by a single ASIN
How to spot when it’s time to bring in systems, capital, or partners
The difference between vanity metrics and numbers that actually pay you
If you’ve ever wondered why your effort feels maxed out but your business isn’t moving the way you want, this conversation will help you see the road to scaling more clearly and give you permission to focus on the right levers instead of burning yourself out.
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?"

On today’s episode we hear from an online seller who has been in e-commerce on and off since the mid 90s!
He tried a lot of things that haven’t really amounted to much… until now!
Perhaps the most powerful thing he shares today is the fact that, “the game has never been as easy as it is right now” from his perspective.
He’s a big fan of the reselling strategies as taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training as well as the software that has completely systemized his approach to running a profitable Amazon business.
“I run out of money way before I run out of great inventory to buy.”
It’s amazing that we now have hundreds of episodes like this with successful students in our community! This is just the latest...

New sellers on Amazon run into a frustration that is very common. It’s the challenge of being gated from selling many of the great products, ASINs and brands that they otherwise would be excited to sell.
Earning Amazon‘s trust is not as hard as some have made it out to be however.
On today’s episode I give you a couple of very specific strategies and resources that will have you flying through the gating process sooner than you thought possible!

In this Coaches Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy tackle a truth that every Amazon seller, and every business owner, needs to hear: success doesn’t start out looking like success.
Drawing on stories from their early days (including apartment prep chaos, failed inspections, and a very confused schnauzer named Rudy), they unpack why disorder is not a sign of failure; it’s proof you’re building.
Using analogies from the Eiffel Tower to busy restaurant kitchens, they show you how to navigate setbacks without losing momentum, create systems in real time, and turn clunky repetitions into smooth, repeatable habits.
Whether you’re facing your first IP complaint or just struggling to keep your prep space organized, this episode will remind you: the mess is part of the plan, and consistency will beat perfection every time.
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?"

What happens when you lose your job in your fifties and the job market shuts its doors? For Mike Alte, the answer was resilience, resourcefulness, and a crash course in Amazon selling.
In this episode, Coach Brian Olson sits down with Mike to talk about the emotional rollercoaster of starting over, the turning points in his business journey, and how storefront stalking and Keepa mastery helped him go from frustrated job-seeker to full-time e-commerce entrepreneur. Mike’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself and that sometimes, failure really isn’t an option.
Get ready for candid insights, rookie mistakes turned lessons, and practical tips you can use today to move your Amazon business forward.
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.

Let's talk about some of the recent changes for sellers on Walmart.com. Today's guest is the instructor for our Walmart seller training at ProvenAmazonCourse.com/walmart. Joseph and his wife along with their five kids have been enjoying the "internet lifestyle"while homeschooling for a few years now and they are so glad they made the choice to build their own business based on the strategies taught in our community. They've risen to leadership roles in our group and are now coaches with an incredible story to share.
"We've been able to keep Christ at the center of our family because of e-commerce and homeschool", Joseph shared.
On this episode we discuss Walmart and overall success by staying diversified as you grow. We spend a lot of time on the e-commerce business diversification concept of "inch deep mile wide" as well.

Is it possible that sellers who start selling NOW have an advantage over those of us who started say, 4 years ago?
I think so for several reasons! 1) Amazon has clarified several policies and enforcement is more consistent. 2) The tools and software we have now are incredible (i.e. automating a catalog of 1,000s of ASINs) and 3) the strategies we have available to us now are incredible compared to what we had even just a few years ago (example - finding above buy box ASINs)

If you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the toxic idea that struggle equals success and how believing you need to suffer to earn your wins might be the very thing holding you back.
They challenge the myth that you have to work harder, longer, and with more pain to deserve a breakthrough. Instead, they offer a better exchange: belief and consistent action over self-punishment. You’ll hear stories about burnout, false finish lines, why some people give up just before the snowball starts rolling and what it looks like to move with inevitability instead of fear.
This is a mindset shift every seller needs to hear. You don’t need more hustle. You need a better story about what success actually takes.
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 we have a three-way conversation between Jimmy Smith, Brian Olson and Jim. They discuss the recent changes in the way Amazon reports sales rank on ASINs and the fairly minimal but still significant change that this will have for some resellers as they use tools like Keepa to make good inventory buying decisions.
They also spend some time talking about how AI might impact the reselling business in the future.
It's a great conversation with a little something for everyone, but it's not the friendliest show for newbies, as some of the topics are fairly acronym-heavy.
Bottom line: the opportunity is only getting better, and the tools/strategies are getting better in the ever-expanding ocean of opportunity that is "Amazon reselling"
This episode also discusses why NOW is the best time to get into the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training because you can LOCK IN your monthly fee before the major price increase happens later this summer and all new students will be paying far more than your low grandfathered rate for this world class and constantly improving training!
