Episode 124: The 80/20 of Amazon: What Actually Moves the Needle (And What Doesn’t)

Are you stuck doing everything in your Amazon business—but not seeing real growth?

In this video, I break down the 5 things you should STOP doing immediately—and the 5 actions that actually grow your Amazon sales.

This is the real 80/20 rule in action: focusing on the 20% of tasks that drive 80% of your results.

Learn why obsessing over feedback, tweaking listings, and chasing clearance deals are holding you back. Instead, discover how to:

✅ Build a repeatable sourcing system

✅ Source replenishable products (replens!)

✅ Track cash flow and account health like a pro

✅ Consistently send inventory to Amazon

✅ Get help sooner so you can scale faster
