This is the post purchase Pro Podcast, Episode 19. Don't forget all the basic, boring stuff in your Amazon Business.

It takes more than a few large bricks to build a complete bridge to your dream business. Some of the bricks are small, and some are large but all are equally important.

Welcome guys to The Post Purchase Pro Podcast.

Today, we're going to be talking about the fundamentals, the boring stuff, as you would say, Sean and how the boring stuff really does make all the difference. Right?

I mean, how many times have we juggled a bunch of different things at the same time?

And if you drop the fundamental, if you drop the boring one, then it all comes crashing down, John.

It's the boring stuff would be considered the glue. That holds everything together. And I heard some, some assays I was hanging out with, for awhile said, you know what, Keep the first thing, the first thing, or keep the main thing, the main thing?

You know, when you're scaling a business, we all seem to get attracted all these different sacked shiny objects. We get attracted to the next tactic. The magic button, the easy button.

The major ninja strategy that's going to move your business forward with no effort on your part. You know what I mean? Well, we all know that's not reality.

So, we have to keep the main thing, the main thing, and if we don't, then our business will suffer because we didn't even get to where we're at right now.

By focusing on only those large bricks to your bridge, you're talking about. But, you know, we did that by brick by brick, small, tiny bricks, one on another, to lead to where we are, You know, when you think about how an ant devours a tiger or how a slave build a pyramid back in ancient Egypt.

1:49

Know what happened. one brick at a time. one tiny bite at a time.

1:53

So, it's those small, fundamental steps when repeated, can almost complete any task laid out before you. So, no set.

2:03

It seems to me, you know, whenever our business was struggling, if you'll remember, we were either focused way up here on these, these huge tactics that were supposed to advance us, you know, fast forward and skip all the boring stuff.

2:17

Or conversely, we were focused on, know what, wherever trip hazard was at our feet, instead of just moving straight forward ahead, taking care of the boring stuff first, before you ever decide to tackle something huge.

2:31

Well, I think you're right, John. So let's, know. one of the things that comes to mind as you were talking areas like what is the fundamental, what is the boring stuff? Well, everything becomes boring once you have it nailed.

2:42

Like, everything becomes routine like once the latest and greatest strategy and tactic that you're discovering now. If you do it as many times as What it really takes to succeed, it's gonna be boring. So, like when you know, when we were first starting out shot, I remember we would discover like A strategy like that were amazing.

3:02

And then we come back to our team and be like, did you do A and B, because A and B, you know, every single time we knew that, it would work.

3:09

And they weren't, because it was the, the old thing, the boring thing.

3:13

So whatever it is, that's, the, that's driving the results in your business that could be different than our business.

3:19

But if you discovered a strategy, and you know every single time you do, it adds five or 10%, you gotta do it every single time. Don't let those things die. Just because it's boring, So the latest strategies are wonderful to keep pushing, But once you find something that works, you gotta keep doing it. You can't drop that boring stuff.

3:40

Yeah, of course.
