Nothing happens overnight when it comes to growing your Amazon business. This doesn’t seem to be the case in social media, where you can see posts that look like instant success. We see these stories of overnight sensations or earning thousands of dollars in days, but what all the hype doesn’t tell is a deeper truth. They don’t show the journey of how they got there: we only see the stats and the dollars. The reality is - to achieve success, we need to make changes towards it, no matter how small the steps we take.

In this episode, I discuss how small, incremental changes directly impact future significant results. I explain how the hype on social media platforms doesn’t show the hustle behind it. I discuss why you need to take small steps for your business right now and illustrate how the 15-Minute Hustle can help. I also share ideas on what consistent changes you can make for your Amazon business on a daily and weekly basis as well as underscore the importance of visualizing the progress of your business.

 

“Small, calculated steps work. The first thing you have to remember is consistency.” - Kristin Ostrander
