Staring at the same Keepa chart for the third day in a row? Robin Joy introduces the concept of "data imprisonment" - when historical data becomes a cage instead of a compass.

Brian and Robin Joy break down why Keepa shows you evidence of what happened, not proof of what will happen for YOU. They share real coaching examples of hidden Amazon Fresh competition, geographic blind spots, and why the only way to escape analysis paralysis is to test more ASINs.

As Yogi Berra said: "In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If my bank statements don't show the full account number, should I switch banks?" Use the coupon code "MISTAKE" to get your first month of services for only $1 with Jeff and his team!

Today's episode is two parts.

A letter and some software/costs discussion.

The episode starts with a letter from a student who is going to be soon joining our team as a coach. He's built a great mid-six figure business and is scaling! He has a full-time job so he elected to just write down bullet points for me to share because he doesn't want his employer to know he's going to go full-time soon!

His wife has quit her job because of the Amazon income and he hopes to do the same some day soon as well as they scale their mid-six figure business together He will also soon be a coach on our team of ProvenAmazonCourse.com experts!

The second part of the episode today is a discussion about "What software do I REALLY need when I'm starting out?" Jim goes into the options for three different types of sellers based on funding, aggressive intentions and time available to commit to the journey.

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack why sourcing is no longer the hard part of building an Amazon business. Matching ASINs has become easy, but knowing what will actually work only shows up once products are tested in the live marketplace.

They explain why Keepa tells only part of the story, how the buy box behaves differently across locations and timing, and why sellers often panic and lower prices when nothing is truly broken.

They also zoom out to the bigger picture. ASINs are not the asset, systems are. The first twelve weeks are meant to feel messy, even when progress is happening. And the sellers who last are the ones who build repeatable testing and decision processes instead of chasing certainty or perfect data.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "If I don't have Jeff's team on retainer, can they still help me? (Answer: YES!)" Use coupon code "MISTAKE" to get your first month of services for only $1 with Jeff and his team!
