Music That Inspires

Do you want to be better than you were in 2020? If you do, merely reading self-help books will not magically improve your life and business. Putting into practice the knowledge you’ve gathered is critical to personal growth. That is why the next step of the P.L.A.N Blue Print - Apply - follows Learn: because if we don’t do anything with the new information we receive, we’ll forever get stuck in research mode. Not taking action in response to learning is wasted time and energy.

In this episode, I recap the P.L.A.N Blue Print and discuss how we can apply the new knowledge we’ve gathered from our Learn stage. I reveal the common denominator between successful people and underscore the value of practice. I explain the importance of letting yourself be a beginner and how you can avoid the pitfalls of the perfectionism-procrastination cycle. I also highlight how documenting and tracking your progress impacts your improvement and illustrate how you can apply the principles of the P.L.A.N Blue Print to your Amazon business.

“If we don’t apply the insights we learn into our lives, we waste time and effort. Applying newfound knowledge is the way we can improve ourselves.” - Kristin Ostrander

• The learning-but-not-applying pitfall

If there’s anything we’ve learned - especially after going through 2020 - it’s that anything unexpected can happen at any given time. Adapting to change is super difficult, especially when it’s forced upon us by something external. The next step of the P.L.A.N. Blue Print after creating an In a Perfect World scenario is preparation, an essential piece of weathering through change and achieving goals. Though not a plan-ahead-of-time person myself, preparing and planning for change has allowed me to transform my life from financial ruin to a flourishing seven-figure business.

In this episode, I discuss how you can take the next step of the P.L.A.N. Blue Print - Prepare - after designing your In a Perfect World scenario.

Blue Print and illustrate how preparing and making a plan can help you focus and get excited about your major goals. I also underscore the need to expect not only the worst, but also the best that could happen in your life and highlight how you can prepare for positive growth.

As an Amazon business owner, I know that building a legitimate online business doesn’t happen overnight: through sweat and tears, I’ve worked hard over the years to see my business grow. That’s why I want to protect my Amazon business with insurance. But the first time I called an insurance agency, they clearly had no clue about what I do. Luckily, there’s Ashlin Hadden, the founder of Ashlin Hadden Insurance who’s dedicated to educating her clients and guiding them in protecting their most valuable assets. Ashlin and her team specialize in helping Amazon sellers of all experiences, from beginners getting started with wholesale bundling to experienced Amazon sellers looking to expand to offer their own private labels.

Ashlin joins me today to explain why Amazon sellers need insurance providers who specialize in working with Ecommerce businesses. She discusses why Amazon business owners need insurance and describes how “general” liability is different from “product” liability. She reveals the best time to buy an insurance policy and the kind of insurance Amazon sellers need. She also illustrates how easy it is to apply for an insurance policy and highlights how and why insurance companies protect businesses from loss.

“The best time to buy insurance is before you even ship your first item.” - Ashlin Hadden

Analysis paralysis is real. It can hinder everyone, from beginners about to take their first step to veterans expanding their Amazon businesses. Even during our first Virtual Wholesale Bundlers Workshop, we noticed a common problem: that we tend to overthink every little thing. And while many of us know that overthinking isn’t quite productive, many of us aren’t even aware of our habit to dwell on what could go wrong. Being aware of our tendency to overthink is one of the most challenging parts about it - and one we must do to break into our success.

In this episode, I reveal the tell-tale signs of overthinking and what you can do to overcome your habit of ruminating on a problem and come up with creative solutions instead. I explain what “ANTs” are and share concrete steps you can take to retrain your brain to move from negative thought patterns to a neutral thinking mode. I highlight the value of seeking help and venting out your problems, not to gripe, but to gain perspective and move past your worries. I also underscore the importance of moving out of your comfort zone and understanding the world for what it truly is.

“The number one antidote to overthinking, worrying, and fear is taking action. No matter how small it is, take action.” - Kristin Ostrander

This week on the Amazon Files:

• The signs of overthinking and how it doesn’t add quality to our lives
• Why it’s easier to overthink difficult decisions
• Overthinking about the “what-ifs” and things you have no control over
• Mental strength exercises to retrain your brain to think more productively
• What Automatic Negative Thoughts are and how to manage them
• Acknowledging previous successes in business and life and the power of handwriting memos to yourself
• The difficulty of owning our strengths and the things we are good at
• The power of staying present in the moment and scheduling your worries
• The importance of trusting facts, not feelings, and evaluating the worst-case scenario
• The value of approaching coaches, mentors, and therapists
• “Punch buggies” versus “slug bugs” and why perspective is king

Over my almost two decades of experience in Ecommerce, I have always looked forward to the Black Friday weekend. And this year, pandemic notwithstanding, is no exception. It’s a holiday-selling kickoff where people look for deals and start buying gifts for their family (or themselves). And you know what that means for us: big selling opportunities and loads of money to be made. Though 2020 has changed consumer behavior, Amazon business owners can adjust to the evolving market and continue to meet customers’ needs.

In this episode, I share tips and advice on how you can best prepare for the big Black Friday weekend. I discuss why you need to consider arranging your Amazon Fulfilled by Merchant templates and set up expedited shipping for your customers. I reveal a recent poll on consumers’ buying preferences this Q4 and explain why you may want to get in your favorite retailers’ email lists. I also underscore the value of keeping an eye on trends that may go beyond Q4 and highlight the importance of adapting to market changes.

The holiday season is upon us! 2020 has been quite a year, and many of us wonder if sales will skyrocket as it did this time last year. COVID-19 has impacted how people shop and will certainly influence how they will spend their money on the holidays. Still, Q4 is the biggest shopping season, and adaptation is key to thriving in the ever-changing marketplace that is Ecommerce: people have been buying different things, and as an Amazon business, we’re here to meet customers’ needs. So make a list, check it twice, and be ready for the busiest shopping season of the year.

Today, I share some advice and ideas on how you can prepare for the holiday season this 2020 on Amazon. I illustrate how COVID-19 may change the holiday shopping season and list some products you might want to include in your inventory to adapt to how customers have changed their spending behavior. I explain why you may want to consider doing Merchant Fulfillment instead of Amazon FBA this holiday season. I also discuss how offering expedited and upgraded shipping when doing Merchant Fulfillment can be beneficial and emphasize the importance of business adaptation.
