Post Purchase PRO - Profitable Email Marketing For Amazon Sellers

This is the post Purchase Pro Podcast, episode 11.

It was like a virtual brain dump.

I actually forgot not only how to do this task but I forgot even creating the system for it. It's so liberating to have the ability to successfully hand off important daily tasks.

Welcome to the Post Purchase Pro podcast.

Everyone, today, we're going to be talking about creating huge success with long term thinking, but before we begin, Seth, we have to talk about minds
When you enter this correct mindset, and I'm talking about a mindset that's set for growth, we like to use the phrase, act as if.

So, when you begin your business, acting as, if you've already achieved the Goal, Act as if you are, have a business wildly successful and profitable Amazon business.

Then you're in the right mindset.

And, you know, one of the things said that we see folks make a mistake more often than they should, is it, they'll treat their business.

Like it's a hobby, almost like it's a second seat to what they're really doing, instead of treating it like a real business.

And what I've seen, and I'm sure you can relate Seth, is that if you don't treat your business like a real business, then no one else will either.

So it all begins with mindset.
Think about why you got into this game, about what you hope to accomplish by having a successful Amazon business and think long term.

Forget about the obstacles directly in front of you each week, each day, each hour.

Think more long term. Where do you want to be? At the end of this year, we're going to be leaders and tell you.

When you can like C L, There are results.

If you don't, then you're going to fall into the trap that we see way too often, and that is putting out fires every single day to try to make it through the day or the week or the month. And that's just not the right mindset, Seth.

Yeah, Shawn, so you change the way that you approach your day, and you approach your business when you think long term, and you plan for growth.

2:26

If you are thinking short-term and you don't act as if, then you make different decisions, like you would make a decision to shortcut.

2:35

You'd make a decision to skip a step, when you're not acting as if your business is going to be successful, long term.

2:43

We gotta think years in advance and not just what can I do today, make a difference today, we're talking about acting as if we're going to be successful in a year, two years, five years down the road.

2:56

So it changes your perspective.

2:57

And the first thing I want to talk about Shawn, is if you can take a mindset for growth and act as if your business is going to be successful and it's going to be this big business, then you obviously need systems in place.

3:10

And and when I'm talking about systems, I'm talking about processes for getting things done. It is not about, like you said, Shawn getting a fire in front of you and going and getting a watering can and putting it out.

3:22

It's not about answering your customer service ticket. It's not about finding a product, It's about building a system to do all of those things.

3:31

The system is what's going to allow you to scale.

3:35

And, and Shawn, when, when I say the word system, like, what comes to mind, like, what are we talking about when we say system, it's a step by step approach to accomplishing an exact task or an exact outcome.

3:50

By throwing mud on the wall, you're shucking and jiving trying to get through the day systematic approach, accomplishing any task like, step one, step two, step three, and so on, Then, you know exactly where to start, whenever you try to accomplish something. For example, Seth, let's talk about creating a listing.

4:12

Sure, we all
