Beyond staying organized and knowing your numbers, what is the number one, most critically important thing you need to make more profit in your Amazon business?

 

Managing your mindset and taking control of your business.

 

Your mindset has a direct impact on your profitability. If you don’t believe in yourself and your ability to build a successful Amazon business - you’ll fall prey to the limiting beliefs, self-doubts, and negative self-talk that often run rampant for new e-commerce entrepreneurs.

 

On today’s episode, we discuss how your mindset impacts your profitability as an Amazon seller. We explain the importance of taking small baby steps to achieve your bigger goals, why trusting the facts instead of your feelings is the best way to overcome fear and procrastination, and how comparing your chapter one to someone else’s chapter 25 can have a negative impact on your business growth. We also share how perfectionism impacts your success, the attributes of successful entrepreneurs, and the importance of learning and pivoting to build a successful Amazon business.
