After coaching literally 1,000s of students to success over the past 24+ years, with an emphasis on Amazon the past several years, we've noticed some obvious trends in where especially new sellers go wrong.

Today's episode is specifically a list of the most common mistakes you'll make as a newer Amazon seller if you don't get some help and instruction.

It's not enough to watch a few youtube videos and start scanning barcodes looking for "flips". You'll wind up losing your account and you'll also find yourself very frustrated at how difficult it all seems to be. DO NOT ignore advice from PROVEN pros who know how to steer you in the right direction!

Let's talk about those common mistakes newbies make!

In this inspiring episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, coaches Brian and Robin Joy return from a summer break with powerful stories from recent coaching sessions. The message is clear: success doesn't require perfection—just consistent, imperfect action.

Whether you're struggling to hit that first stride or doubting your next step, this episode will reignite your motivation. Hear how simple weekly challenges, embracing the "messy middle," and staying in motion can double your business—even through vacations, setbacks, and self-doubt.

You'll learn how to:

1. Embrace “good enough” to gain momentum

2. Use small daily actions to achieve big goals

3. Apply the "Rule of 100" to outpace 95% of your competition

4. Replace hesitation with clarity through practice

5. Build sustainable systems around your life (not the other way around)

Packed with practical wisdom, personal anecdotes, and actionable challenges, this episode is your reminder to stop waiting—and start doing.

Listen now and take the next imperfect step toward your dream business.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If a brand really doesn't like me selling their items on Amazon, what should I do?"
