#1035: It’s just painful… until it isn’t: how real progress happens on Amazon

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a missing tool but the belief that progress should feel easier?

 

In this Coaches’ Corner episode, Brian and Robin Joy Olson dive deep into what it actually looks like to build an Amazon business, when you're not just learning the rules but putting in reps under pressure.

Drawing from real coaching sessions, they explore three key moments every seller faces:

 

1. When overthinking kills momentum and how to shift into motion

2. When “it’s just painful” and why that’s not a red flag

3. When you need to see progress but can’t find it on the sales graph yet

 

This episode is packed with honest coaching insights, emotional truth, and specific tools for staying in the game long enough to start seeing wins. Whether you’re brand new or rebuilding, this one’s a mirror and a map.

 

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I've sold a brand for a long time, can Amazon re-gate me? How can I avoid this risk?"
