In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, co-hosts Brian and Robin Joy share a crucial message for new and aspiring entrepreneurs in the replenishable business space: focus on sourcing. They explain why mastering sourcing in the first 8–12 weeks—or through your first 8–12 shipments—will set you apart from 99.9% of others starting the same journey. From understanding the importance of testing ASINs to overcoming the hurdles of early-stage inefficiencies, Brian and Robin provide actionable insights and motivational guidance. They discuss the challenges of incremental progress, the importance of embracing the learning curve, and why staying laser-focused on sourcing early is key to long-term success. The discussion dives into strategies for scaling, introducing tools and automation to make your business more efficient once you’ve mastered the fundamentals. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach, this conversation is packed with valuable tips to help you stay on track and grow your business.

#923: The way you do anything is the way you'll do everything in your online business
After having coached nearly 10,000 students over 20 years in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com programs, we've noticed some distinct patterns. Would you like to know what I've noticed about those who find success vs. those who don't? I'd estimate that I could diagnose your level of success just by asking you a few personal questions that have nothing to do with business or success. Questions like: "When you face a challenge do you tend to complain publicly about it?" "What are you daily and weekly good habits?" "How do you feel about meeting new people?" The answers to those questions have a lot more to do with business success than you might realize! Let's talk about it!
