Amazon Sellers: Stop Doing Everything Yourself. Automate, Delegate, or Ditch It
Aug 14, 2026 Season 5 Episode 15
The Amazon Strategist Show

Most Amazon sellers don't have a time problem. They have a systems problem.

In this episode of the Amazon Strategist Show, John Cavendish sits down with Will Christensen, founder of Seller Labs, Entrepreneur's Apprentice, and DataAutomation, to break down how Amazon sellers can stop getting buried in repetitive work and start building a business that actually scales.

Will shares his 15.1.1.5 Rule, a practical framework for deciding what you should automate, delegate, document, or eliminate.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How the 15.1.1.5 Rule helps you decide what to automate or delegate
When automation actually makes financial sense
Why hiring a VA too early can create more problems
Why apprentices can be a better first step than hiring a VA
The difference between systems creators and systems followers
Why documentation is critical before handing work to someone else
How to identify repetitive tasks that are draining your time
The productivity mistake that can burn out your team
How smarter delegation can help you scale without doing everything yourself
