#1075: Perfection is the fastest way to kill your progress

from Silent Sales Machine Radio · host Jim Cockrum Amazon FBA and Online Business Strategist

Everyone wants to believe there's a point where your Amazon business finally runs itself - no more testing, tweaking, or chaos.   Spoiler: that point doesn't exist.   In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy pull apart the myth of "getting it right" and show you why perfection is the enemy of progress. You'll hear how to spot the moment you've slipped from improving into stalling, how to stop "prettying up the nest," and why a messy business is usually a healthy one.   This one's equal parts relief and reality check - a permission slip to quit chasing done and start chasing better.   You'll learn: Why chasing perfection kills momentum The difference between organizing and optimizing How to use testing as your best teacher Why "messy" might be your best KPI yet   And when your next five ASINs don't pan out?   You already know the answer. Test more ASINs.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What are the realities of Amazon suspensions and reinstatements?"   Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/p2PPt12SECc   Show note LINKS:   SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word "free" to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim's latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online (US only) or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   SilentJim.com/bookacall - Schedule a FREE, customized and insightful consultation with my team or me (Jim) to discuss your e-commerce goals and options.   My Silent Team Facebook group. 100% FREE! https://www.facebook.com/groups/mysilentteam - Join 82,000 + Facebook members from around the world who are using the internet creatively every day to launch and grow multiple income streams through our exciting PROVEN strategies!
