When things get tough, are you still committed?

In this episode of Coach’s Corner, Brian and Robin flip the script and dive into three forces that shape every success story - commitment, development, and belief.

You’ll hear why talent alone isn’t enough without daily reps, why commitment guarantees the outcome (even if the path surprises you), and how belief carries you through the plot twists. Along the way, they share stories about learning to walk, chasing driver’s licenses, Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, and even Robin’s piano lessons with Mrs. Kimberland and her Clark bars.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated but not ready to quit, this conversation will give you the encouragement, and the practical takeaways, you need to keep moving.

Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses why you shouldn't just "acknowledge fault" on Amazon seller violations.

On today's episode we look at a handful of factors you should consider before you go down the path of "going it alone" by trial-and-error in your pursuit of a great business on Amazon.

The factors we discuss are:

The common mistakes you'll make (as listed at SilentJim.com/mistakes)

The amount of time required to learn on your own

The unnecessary tools and time wasting "experts" you'll likely accumulate

The bad inventory you'll fall into

The very real cost of isolation

The high price of no early momentum

Every Amazon seller wrestles with risk, should you take a small loss today to unlock bigger opportunities tomorrow?

In this episode, Brian and Robin Joy unpack the myths and mindsets around risk tolerance, testing, and building a sustainable business.

You’ll hear:

• Why “losing a little to win a lot” only works if it’s part of a strategy, not a gamble

• How to use the 3-Step Check and Keepa data to frame risk without getting blindsided

• The real purpose of early tests (hint: it’s not winning every time)

• How to handle the emotional rollercoaster of failed tests without letting shame or fear derail you

• Why your long-term wins depend on reps, patience, and building a foundation, not quick dopamine hits

This is a conversation about risk, resilience, and the upside of sticking with the process long enough to see the breakthroughs.
