Music That Inspires

It’s easy to get discouraged and de-motivated these days. After all, 2020 has been nothing like any of us have ever imagined. From pandemic to racial injustice, there’s a lot of issues that force us to adjust to a new normal - even when it comes to running our online businesses. But while the struggle is certainly real, a few reminders of the Dos and Don’ts of growing your Amazon business will help you balance yourself and tread the waters of an uncertain time.

In this episode, I discuss some key points about selling on Amazon that we need to remember, no matter our level of experience. I describe how, like in any other business, you’d need to invest time, money, and energy into your Amazon business and why it isn’t a get rich quick scheme. I explain why you need to narrow down your sources of information about starting an Amazon business and underscore the role of research in growing your Amazon store. I also highlight the benefits of wholesaling and explore why you need to think about your goals and anchor into them.

“What is it that you want out of your Amazon business? Keep your eye on that. Don’t compare yourself to others and avoid analysis paralysis.” - Kristin Ostrander

Everything changes - for good or bad. While changes can make room for opportunities and growth, the adjustments that come with them could be challenging. They’re not always the same, and they can cause stress, time, and money. If change causes you overwhelm - I hear you. I’m pretty change-averse myself.

I also reveal the new policies Amazon has put in place for inventory thresholds and listing restrictions and share some advice on what you can do to comply with these new rules.

Change is inevitable in any business. And sometimes, in order to grow, you have to let go. You need to let go of things that are no longer serving your growth, whether that’s in your Amazon business or life. That’s a key insight from Lori Tomonto, a savvy entrepreneur who has had so much success not only with wholesale bundling on Amazon but also in her other businesses. But to find the freedom and prosperity she enjoys today, she had to make one critical decision in her business.

She discusses how she started selling on Amazon and why she decided to change her online business model from retail arbitrage to wholesale bundling. She shares her recommendations on wholesale bundling and reveals the benefits of focusing on niches when doing so. She also shares her “time-money” scale, the challenges she faced in her Amazon business, and her advice to people who want to find success in their life but are afraid of change.

“You’re not going to be good on Amazon if you’re trying to do too many. If you want success with bundles, you have to pick a niche.” - Lori Tomonto

To beat your competition, you’ve got to work smart. And part of working smarter is using the tools at your disposal to their greatest advantage. In running your Amazon business, using keywords to their maximum potential can help you rank and index your products and, ultimately, scale your business.

One of the things that holds us back when it comes to growing our business is fear. And while we fear many things, it’s often the fear of failure that hinders us from achieving our dreams. Yet, Bill Wooditch - entrepreneur, leadership coach, and author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Fail More: Embrace, Learn, and Adapt to Failure as a Way to Success -  believes that fear can empower us and that failure is an essential ingredient to success. Through determination and the “Always Forward” mindset he developed, Bill overcame his life’s challenges and forged his way to building a multi-million-dollar company.

Bill joins me today to discuss why failure is key to success. He reveals the biggest regret that he faced in his life and explains how he overcame it. He describes how you can avoid regret and how action is a salve to failure and an antidote to fear. He discusses how a person has the power to learn and grow from their mistakes and explains why being risk-averse is part of being human. He also underscores the difference between dreams and fantasies and highlights why you need to define what success means to you.

“Change that narrative. Do the work, take risks, and fail. But fail forward.” - Bill Wooditch

This week on the Amazon Files:

• Bill’s journey from working a dead-end factory job to CEO of a multi-million-dollar company
• The biggest regret Bill has ever experienced and how we can learn from regret
• Taking small steps to bounce back from failure and why taking action is the antidote to fear

With the coronavirus persisting in the country and around the world, there’s a lot of questions from Amazon business owners on whether creating bundles for the back-to-school season is a worthwhile investment. And if it is, how much do you invest? How can you be cautious about investing, considering the on-going pandemic? What school supplies and products should you invest in? These are all important questions because they are factors that can affect your bottom line as Amazon sellers.

Today, I discuss wholesale bundling for the back-to-school season. I explain why investing in back-to-school products is feasible despite the coronavirus pandemic and reveal the best time to start preparing for the back-to-school season. I share some of the best products to bundle for college, high school, elementary students, and teachers. I also discuss why you should check out retail store patterns and how they merchandise as well as share some steps you can take to prevent money loss in creating bundles for the back-to-school season.
