The Amazon Files, hosted by Kristin Ostrander, Amazon business strategist and one of the founders of Mommy Income, hits the airwaves every Tuesday with the real truth about selling on Amazon.

Everyone wants to shoot for the moon when they set up their Amazon business but doing so may lead to unnecessary disappointment. If you set your goals and expectations too high in the beginning, then you will soon be wondering about what you are doing wrong. You should realize that you may not be doing anything wrong and you may just be setting your goals too high.

 

Today, we discuss how to set realistic expectations for Amazon selling success. We share our thoughts on how to set realistic expectations based upon where you are right now and the importance of celebrating your ‘wins’ - even the small ones. We also explain how to become more efficient in your Amazon business, what you should consider when setting goals, and how creating a schedule can impact your success.

 

“Don’t compare your business to someone else’s. No two businesses are the same. Comparison is the thief of joy.” - Kristin Ostrander
