Summary
Are you saying things that scare me (and probably should scare you as well?)
Here's what I mean -
As you've likely heard me mention, we've been coaching ecommerce success strategies around here for coming up on 20 years. With thousands of ProvenAmazonCourse.com students and countless success stories (as you've heard on past recent episodes of our podcast), we have some obvious observations that have emerged over time. We see patterns.
There are some bad mindsets, strategies and starting points that seem to come up A LOT around here, and if you manage to avoid these, you'll be giving yourself a huge advantage as a business building warrior!
Let's talk about my list of "scary phrases"
The list includes things like,
"I've always wanted to sell _____" (fill in the blank)
"Can someone just do it all for me?"
"I can't seem to find the right product."
"I don't think I'm smart enough"
...and several more. Let's talk about why these are SCARY PHRASES for our leadership team to hear and how we can get you to a much better place fast!

| 0:16.9 | years. Our team has coached thousands of people. We're coming up on 10,000 coached students, |
| 0:23.9 | and many, many more than that, who have taken our content and training, our free courses, |
| 0:28.7 | all the way through our proven Amazon course, which only costs a few dollars per month, |
| 0:33.9 | our coaching. Thousands of people have come through this organization. You can hear |
| 0:38.1 | hundreds of those success stories on this podcast, by the way. If you scroll back in time, you'll |
