#1064: Stop the rollercoaster: How Ed Dassie built a consistent OA Machine


Listen Later

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 ;)

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?"
