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)

If you’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results, this episode is for you. Brian and Robin Joy Olson unpack the toxic idea that struggle equals success and how believing you need to suffer to earn your wins might be the very thing holding you back.

They challenge the myth that you have to work harder, longer, and with more pain to deserve a breakthrough. Instead, they offer a better exchange: belief and consistent action over self-punishment. You’ll hear stories about burnout, false finish lines, why some people give up just before the snowball starts rolling and what it looks like to move with inevitability instead of fear.

This is a mindset shift every seller needs to hear. You don’t need more hustle. You need a better story about what success actually takes.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can I ignore messages that come to me via Amazon messaging from other sellers?"

Today we have a three-way conversation between Jimmy Smith, Brian Olson and Jim. They discuss the recent changes in the way Amazon reports sales rank on ASINs and the fairly minimal but still significant change that this will have for some resellers as they use tools like Keepa to make good inventory buying decisions.

They also spend some time talking about how AI might impact the reselling business in the future.

It's a great conversation with a little something for everyone, but it's not the friendliest show for newbies, as some of the topics are fairly acronym-heavy.

Bottom line: the opportunity is only getting better, and the tools/strategies are getting better in the ever-expanding ocean of opportunity that is "Amazon reselling"

This episode also discusses why NOW is the best time to get into the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training because you can LOCK IN your monthly fee before the major price increase happens later this summer and all new students will be paying far more than your low grandfathered rate for this world class and constantly improving training!

On this weekend update episode, we go over several time-sensitive announcements including details about our upcoming virtual conference and how to attend for less than $10, as well as some incredible progress that’s being made on behalf of Amazon sellers by influential leaders in our industry. We are also having a contest where we are giving away $50 Gift cards to celebrate the fact that our Facebook group is about to hit 82,000 members.

Our Evergreen Sourcing System (SilentJim.com/ess) live training was a massive success for those who participated, so we recorded the entire event. You will soon be able to access it at a huge discount and learn to source thousands of ASINs for your Amazon business. One student just found over 2,000 ASINs in a single sitting! 

Finally, 3Pmercury.com is coming out with a Chrome extension soon that will make sourcing Amazon inventory easier than it’s ever been. All that and many more insights and tips (especially for the newest listeners to our podcast) in the second part of today's show - all on this weekend episode!
