There’s one question that changed how I managed Amazon.

When responding to investment requests, I often asked…Will it help us we grow?

But after a few painful P&L reviews I had to change the question to..

What happens to our margin if we say yes?

Yes to deal funding.

Yes to price support.

Yes to absorbing cost price increases.

Yes to more ad spend.

If I couldn’t answer the margin impact clearly, we paused.

That upfront change did three things..

It slowed down my decision making.

Reduced my stress massively.

Made any growth feel relevant and earned.

If you had to answer that question today, would you be confident in the answer?
