Tomer Rabinovich is a self-taught Amazon business owner, consultant to some of the biggest names in the online sales industry, and one of the most sought-after speakers at Amazon seller events throughout the world. Today, he shares his book, Ride the Amazon Wave. What do we do after we exit? Tomer categorizes it in 3 different stages. Stage 1: Junk - Start to remove bad habits. Once you start getting good results on your sales, what tends to happen is you get to the next stage. Stage 2: Empty - It means you don't do anything else except your work. All you do is just work. Stage 3: Healthy - Getting new hobbies, reading more books, spending time with family. What's your big WHY? I like working in increments and sprints and then kind of relax and take some time off. I think that's really important.

We are starting a new season! In this episode I'm going solo to discuss about something we should do to effectively grow our business. For every task we do, we want to ask the question if it is an efficient use of our time. I've found that using this “Task Test” makes it easy to figure out if we should be doing this task. Eliminate Is this task actually useful? Does it make a drastic change in your business when it is done? Will nothing happen if it never gets done again? If so, ELIMINATE THE TASK! Just stop doing it. Automate Was the task not eliminated in the last round? Good. It's time to AUTOMATE IT! Find some software that will do it for you. They are faster, cheaper, and more reliable. Delegate If this task was not eliminated or automated, find someone who can do this task for you. Someone somewhere can do it just as well or better than you. Delegate it to that person. Elevate If this task couldn't be eliminated, automated, or delegated, you need to find or create a resource that will allow you to hand it off. You need to ELEVATE yourself or your team to get this done.
