About this episode

In this episode, Jim Cockrum discusses the challenges of selling on Amazon, the impact of new surcharges, and the importance of persistence in business.

A coaching client messaged us this week ready to abandon his method. A few bad matches, a couple wrong orders, and a new surcharge from Amazon and suddenly the grass looks greener everywhere else. We've seen this movie before. In this episode, we do the math on Amazon's new 3.5% FBA surcharge, show you the free lever most sellers ignore, and talk about why the people who win this game aren't the ones who found the perfect strategy, they're the ones who stopped restarting the clock. Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "Can Jeff help me with trademarks and LLC eastablishment?"
