Podcast Episode 306 – Mental Speed Bumps on the Road to a Full-Time Amazon Income

August 25, 2025 By Stephen Smotherman Leave a Comment

What’s really slowing down your progress toward a full-time income with Amazon FBA? In this episode, we’re uncovering the sneaky mental speed bumps that can quietly sabotage your momentum—even when your strategies are on point.

These aren’t just mindset issues… they’re subtle traps that can hold you back from taking action, scaling up, or trusting yourself (or others!) with your business growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure whether you’re on the right path, this conversation is for you.

Let’s move past those mental obstacles and get back on the fast track to long-term success with your Amazon business!

Listen on the podcast player below.

Key points from Episode 306:

  • Why the fear of bad buys could be stalling your business before it even gets started—and how to move past it.
  • The danger of trying to “figure it all out first” and how just-in-time learning sets you up for real progress
  • How the comparison trap can steal your joy and sabotage your growth.
  • What happens when you try to do everything yourself (and why delegation is a game-changer)
  • How shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset transforms your business potential
  • Why working smarter, not harder, is the true key to scalable, sustainable profits

THE FULL-TIME FBA
COACHING PROGRAM

Selling on Amazon might sound easy… but it’s not. Too many Amazon reseller “gurus” will try to get you to fall for an Amazon reseller “get rich quick” scheme, but we’re here to tell you the truth:

  • Selling on Amazon is hard, especially when you’re all by yourself… BUT it’s so much easier with a guide — and we’re here to help.
  • Selling on Amazon is not a “get rich quick” scheme… BUT it can be a “get rich slowly” plan. With commitment to working hard, combined with our expert guidance, you can start making a full-time income selling on Amazon within about a year.

That’s why you’re invited to join our 6-12-month long Full-Time FBA Coaching Program. No matter if you’re brand new to selling on Amazon or if you have a few years of experience, our coaching program will take you from where you are to making a full-time income in about 12-months.

We’ve been coaching sellers like you for over a decade and have found what it takes to help you make that full-time income dream into a reality. Find out more about The Full-Time FBA Coaching Program (including how to set up a Connect Call with me to ask your specific questions about the program).
