Podcast Episode 314 – Why Q4 Isn’t About Luck — It’s About Location

October 17, 2025 By Stephen Smotherman Leave a Comment

Too many Amazon sellers chalk up Q4 success to “being in the right place at the right time.” But the truth is, thriving in Q4 isn’t about luck…it’s about having a strategy and knowing exactly where to look.

In this episode of The Full-Time FBA Show, Stephen and Rebecca pull back the curtain on what really fuels Q4 wins: consistent systems, sourcing strategies, and the right locations (both in-store and online) that produce repeatable results.

If you’ve ever felt like profitable finds are random or just “lucky breaks,” this conversation will show you a better way.

Listen on the podcast player below.

Key points from Episode 314:

  • Why “luck” isn’t what makes or breaks your Q4 sourcing success.
  • How scanning systematically can turn a random aisle into a goldmine.
  • The truth behind “overnight successes” (in reselling and beyond).
  • Why having a sourcing system protects you from wasted time and missed opportunities.
  • The patterns that make certain aisles, displays, and websites reliable winners year after year.
  • How consistent effort builds momentum, confidence, and long-term profits.
