(For All Subscribers – Wrapping Up the Week with Actionable Next Steps)

We’ve covered a lot this week:

🔥 How to check if you’re ready to scale

🔥 How AI and automation can make scaling easier (for paid subscribers)

But here’s something most sellers get wrong:

They scale too fast without tracking the right numbers.

📉 The #1 Mistake That Kills Scale? Scaling Without a Feedback Loop.

Sellers think scaling means spending more—on ads, inventory, and marketing.

But without a real-time tracking system in place, scaling can actually make your business less profitable.

🚨 If you’re not tracking the right data points, you’re making decisions blind.

1️⃣ The 3-Part Feedback Loop for Smart Scaling

📌 Scaling should always follow this pattern:

✅ Step 1: Test Small – Before increasing spend, test what works on a small scale.

✅ Step 2: Track in Real-Time – Set up alerts for ACOS, conversion rate, and inventory levels.

✅ Step 3: Optimize & Expand – Once something works, scale it strategically while tracking efficiency.

🚨 Pro Tip: If your ACOS jumps by 20% in one week and you don’t catch it, scaling will cost you thousands in lost profit.
