Ecommerce Momentum Podcast

Again another super smart, no-excuses seller who figured stuff out. Building out what you figured out seems smart enough, but avoiding shiny object syndrome (seems most sellers have this gene!) and staying focused, has brought Kellon incredible results. Kellon's previous episode for context: https://ecommercemomentum.com/episodes/319-kellon-ambrose-gaining-slight-edge-can-make-difference-amazon-business/

Feels great to be back in the saddle releasing great new episodes. Here we go pretty deep with a successful seller who stumbles like the rest of us but is willing to say it out loud! I even delete part of the conversation as he gets too honest! (I explain my decision in the episode) So sit back and learn how to make incremental improvements, build a team and build out your systems.

Jamison tells us his biggest secret..... He changed his perspective. He realized the things that were holding him back and slowly changed them. Not overnight mind you, slowly he adjusted over time. That can stick. Think of that last diet you were on. You cut out all the good things and guess what. It likely lasted two weeks. Jamison has figured out that he is also like that and by breaking them down into bite sized changes (ha!) he has benefitted.

Another great episode as part of my 50+ years of selling series. Here we have Tyler Nelson, a 26 year old seller. We spend time talking about the changes in the last three years since we last talked. Most importantly how he dealt with them. Lot's of places to stumble, yet Tyler pushes through. As he says: Selling on Amazon is the only job he has ever had.

This continues my series on 50+ years of selling. Dan is 61 (as of this recording) and he has been successful for the last 20 years. It has not been easy, but it is simple. So could you start at 41 (pick any age between 41 and 61) and you too could have Dan level success. However you will also have to make the sacrifices Dan has made. You will have to win and lose as Dan did. You will have to help hundreds of other sellers (competitors) as Dan did. You will have to have a super great partner (a "Michelle" ) as Dan does. You will have to develop a great team and make them even better as Dan has. So get the point. It's hard work. But it is doable. So why not get started?

So this episode is about our business. The good and the not so good. As the title suggests we have been fortunate to be able to take advantage of some good choices. Mind you, we have not always made great decisions. So if you can start by making the next right decision, then the next, the next, etc... you too can have a phenomenal year.

Great episode where Lloyd talk us through pushing through adversity. How do you keep going when others are closing? How do you grown when others are shrinking? Is there really failure?

Great episode with very a relevant and timely message about relationships. Lou gives you his top three: 1- Give more than you get- Contributing matters 2- You don't get rich on one deal 3- Work on your relationships

Welcome back to the eCommerce Momentum podcast, this week our guest, Taurin Bellavance. We had him as a guest a few years ago in https://ecommercemomentum.com/episodes/258-taurin-bellavance-selling-amazon-can-afford-opportunity-just-walk-away-sometimes-just-need-walk-away/ (episode 258). Back in that episode we talked about the importance of walking away. In this episode Bellavance talks about his progress since then and how he’s been managing his business and balancing work and personal life in order to provide for his family. We will branch off of the last episode Bellavance was a part of as we discuss the benefits of walking away from toxicity. In this episode, we discuss some of the challenges that Bellavance has traversed through and overcome since we last spoke to him. Additionally, we discuss how Bellavance adapted his business during our nation’s current pandemic. In tandem with his success, we hear from Bellavance about 3 things we should consider when we come upon challenge in our business. Finally,

Sean is very humble. He will say he does not have it all figured out. I would ask have you met the person who does? So his advice is strong: Sell in multiple categories to weather the storms that will be coming. Now is the time to diversify. How many of us are heavy seller fulfilling right now? Well there are many Amazon businesses that are not built for it and are feeling the pinch.If you sell in grocery you are likely killing it where most clothing sellers are struggling. So diversification across channels, categories and methods allows you to flex. Fix your "B Plan"! Mentioned: Seans previous episode Tips: 1- Work on terms with your vendors 2- Adjust your Ad Spend 3- Don't send all your inventory to Amazon 4- Add a thank you card to your FBM 5- Revise your listing to recognize people are at home right now Sponsors https://accountingwewillgo.com/momentum (Amazon Accounting Simplified) – Learn how to manage your business with specific Amazon Accounting training for Quickbooks online from a real CPA h

Get ready for some great advice from someone who sees a lot of successful (and some not so successful) Amazon businesses. It is has been a long time since I had Paul on and Scanpower has advanced so far since then. We catch up, catch up on Scanpower and then Paul gives us advice on taking action steps. Especially useful in these uncertain times. He does give me a special offer (message me to save 20%) but in my no pitch series I will leave that here.

How does the phrase go? "May you live in interesting times?" Well here we are. Very challenging to say the least. I see so many sellers struggling (us included). The day Amazon announced no more "non-essential" inventory could be sent in our account went under review. Scary times became even more scary for sure. Just made big bets (Yes they really are bets) and didn't quite work out as we wanted to. But we are on the other side. So Nick (my younger son) and I share what steps we have/are taking to dodge the minefields and get through these challenging times. I found that picture of me and Gary V from a while back. Still was cool to me. We do have sponsors so it helps us out if you buy from them with our codes as they pay us, but this is a no pitch episode. Please don't add more fees to your business. Streamline, adapt, pivot and plan for your successful future. Reach out if I can help in any way.

Plain and simple talk from a humble seller. Alan admits he needed to step out and let the dust settle to move forward. You have to look long term. This is a marathon not a sprint if you want long term success. Also pay attention when he talks about partnering up with another seller. She has leveled him up.
