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)
