You're doing the work. The numbers are moving. So why does everything feel off?

We've watched this pattern play out with client after client. Smart, capable people lose confidence at the exact moment they should be trusting the process. They don't quit at the start when everything is hard. They don't quit at the finish when the results are obvious. They quit in the middle, when the work feels heavier than the reward.

This episode unpacks why that happens. We're talking about identity shifts that make progress feel threatening, why failure is feedback and not a verdict, and why the messy middle is actually where all the winning happens.

If you've ever stared at your dashboard wondering if you're doing this wrong, this one's for you.

Today's guest: Chelsea Wesselmann

For years you've heard us talk DOWN the use of leads lists, but recently that has all changed because of how 3PMercury has changed the game. We are now actively on the hunt for leads lists of INTEGRITY that do the heavy lifting for you when it comes to finding viable ASINs.

Today we meet with a coach on our team who has launched a leads list service at OAprofitpipeline.com (use coupon code "Jim75" to save big!)

Can a leads list service be better than your own VA?

Does it make sense to use a leads list service if you DO NOT yet own 3PMercury?

What goes into finding great ASINs for a leads list?

How many others get access to the leads you get from a good list?

We answer all those questions and tell you how to get 600 ASIN leads right out of the gate working with Travis and his team!

Prep centers are in huge demand with the ongoing growth of Amazon. If you have some extra space and want to consider a new income steam, you might consider launching a prep center!

Are you using a prep center to handle your Amazon inventory? If not, you should be aware that there are numerous options to offload this part of your business to someone else!

On this episode we interview Ryan Walsh of Encore Business Group. He operates an 18,000 square foot prep center that ships 1,000s of boxes weekly for sellers.

You meet people who want freedom. Then you meet someone who refuses a boss so much he reverse-engineers his whole life. After Derek left the Army, he started Amazon FBA with nothing but podcasts, stubborn grit, and a few painful months of trying to "make a penny per ASIN."

In this talk, we walk you through his jump from Excel chaos to 45,460 ASINs stored, his real replens, and a system that runs while he sleeps. You'll hear how he fights through IP blocks, bad prep centers, order cancellations, and the mental weight of slow progress.

If you ever wondered what happens when someone treats sourcing like a gym routine, delayed gratification like a religion, and three in the morning like normal business hours, this one shows you.

In our previous episode, we talked about a coaching student who found 3,800 test-worthy ASINs in 12 weeks. Today, I talk more about the TWO different ways to do Amazon reselling.

Depending on your budget and time available, one of the two makes the most sense - or maybe you'll do both!

If your budget is tight (you can't afford to buy the inventory needed to sell $2000 or more per month), you'll want to stick with simpler models to help cover your expenses, but for those ready to go further faster, the door is wide open with 3PMercury to scale at the speed of your ability to be a BUILDER!

Let's talk about it.

A coaching client hit "apply filter" and watched 3,800 qualified ASINs appear on screen. His shoulders dropped. He breathed a sigh of relief. He finally had runway. Here's the thing, no one sold him that list. He built it. This episode breaks down the exact approach: how many hours, how many weeks, what filters matter, and why your own database is the only competitive moat that actually lasts.

Wouldn't it be great if someone would just SHOW YOU THE STEPS TO SUCCESS? We'd all like to think that if someone would just lay it all out in clearly defined steps then we could push the right buttons, use the right tools and follow the plan to building a great business online (just like building a lego set, right?)

If you've not figured it out yet, building a business is NOT like building a LEGO set! It's more like taking a leadership journey with surprises around each new bend in the path! So what's the plan you should follow?

The people you choose to surround yourself with, the mindset you bring daily and the small disciplines that you establish are bigger factors than you might realize. I know of very few exceptions of successful students in our community who don't understand these dynamics.

We pride ourselves on giving you the step by step blueprint for building a great business on Amazon, but COMMUNITY, MINDSET and DISCIPLINE play a bigger role than STRATEGY! Let's talk about it.

One day your sales are popping. The next day the dashboard looks frozen.

In this episode, we discuss the actual reasons behind those sudden slowdowns and why most sellers draw incorrect conclusions. If you've felt that 'punch-in-the-gut' moment when everything stops moving, this conversation provides you with perspective, patterns, and a calmer way to read what's going on behind the scenes.
