#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!

#919: Based on all the Amazon seller changes lately, where should you start?
We've easily seen 50 or more major changes for Amazon sellers over the 14+ years we've been selling on Amazon and teaching Amazon selling strategies. There's a pattern with these changes. The fourth quarter of the year seems to be when Amazon always rolls out a few surprises. In light of the new challenges, what new advice do we have for sellers both new and experienced? Is the opportunity on Amazon still viable for sellers? Does the future look bright or are there shifts coming? What are the big indicators that tell the whole story? How much concern should we have about all of this? Good news - we are seeing plenty of great signs, but let's discuss it!
