I feel like my Why might not be as wholesome as yours, or as others' lol but here goes. I want to have a job where I'm the one making all the important decisions. I'm 32, and for most of my life I've worked in jobs where management either did not seem to know what they were doing, or they were putting in the bare minimum amount of effort, so it *looked* like they were doing their jobs, but things weren't getting done the way they should have been. I'm usually the guy who (politely) calls out stuff like that, so I've been promoted a few times based on that. But once you become the supervisor or even the manager, you realize... the people above *those* positions *also* are not doing their jobs as well as they could. And it often seems to go all the way to the top. So now, as an entrepreneur, I **AM** the top lol. It might partially be an ego thing, but it's been so frustrating experiencing what I just described over and over and over again until you finally give up on being a peon, and decide to become the kind of business owner you would want to work for.
@WyattKing. I have a bachelor's degree and plenty of experience across many fields. As I said I even got promoted to supervisor at a few jobs. But it's always the same story. There's like 1 person in management who knows what they're doing, and the other 6 are just fumbling around. I just want to make an ok living without losing my mind due to the incompetence lol
Great advice. My Why is for extra income, showing myself I can do this and honestly clearing out things I do not need, plus it's fun and having this channel and community helps a lot not to feel alone.
@@evan_dood let me ask you a question. (Because your “loosing your mind”) do you think if Elon musk or Jeff bezos switched places with you.. do you think they would be stressed? Most likely not. Now why is that. Simply there skill set and there adaptability to overcome stress. Something hard to someone is easy to another and the reward is learning how to overcome that issue.
This was a great video, man. My "why" is my desire to spend as much time just growing old with my wife and spending time with my grandchildren. I'm gonna be a grandpa soon, and hopefully there are more coming in the future. I missed enough of my own children's growing up due to my day job and traveling for the last 26 years. I'm done with that. Reselling/TH-cam is my path to financial freedom so I can do just that,
It’s hard to stay motivated to list when nothing is selling for sure. I’ve listed 350 this month, sold 50, 1 on Friday, 1 on Saturday, 2 Sunday and zero today so far. My motivation is zapped. Most of the country is stuck inside with ice on the roads and 4 sales all weekend? Why list? 😂. That’s when my burnout starts.
Love and respect the whys brother!! Mine are similar, I want to be able to take care of my mom without her going into a nursing home if at all possible and for my wife to have the option to work from home. Thanks for all the support and encouragement you have given me and all the help you give the reselling community. God certainly has been better than good to me!!
Wow love your great morals. I wish more people had your thought process. You’re amazing your parents have to be so proud of the man you are. All your dreams will come true.
Very glad to have found this channel a few weeks ago. You have definitely given me the boost i needed to get back on the saddle after burnout last year. Decided to get serious this year and the money this first month is promising for sure
I love the part of being alone. I drive a truck for my main source of income. So I’m used to being alone. I just turn on the radio and list. Or in my own little world sourcing talking with my inter commentary😂😂
I appreciate you! I just wanted to say I watched several of your videos again this week and you motivated me to push myself harder! I had my best day ever today as a new eBay seller. Praying your surgery goes well.
Oh dang am I first? Thanks for all you do Jride! Just found some $3 Versace sunglasses at Goodwill that I wouldn't have looked twice at if not for you!
Seriously listening to your advice all these past videos i enjoy fully but this one specifically hit home. Your incredible! Thanks for sharing, im sure it helps you to help us but theres no way as much! Your a treasure, i will keep you in my prayers throughout your surgery- may God be with you and bless you with quick painless recovery!
Wow Jake! I had to comment on your why…your passion and goals are so moving and full of love ❤ I think this message alone will help so many that struggle with focus.
I was just talking about this the other day. With our business and anything in life. Motivation comes in waves, what you need is discipline that’s what keeps you going even when motivation temporarily wavers.
New to the channel. We have to say this has been one of the best reselling videos we have seen in a long time! Your why's are awesome. Reselling my entire life, if you don't start out having why goals and the determination to meet them, you will be a average seller. Through out my long span of selling many of my why goals have been met and grateful for that.. Over the years life changes and so will some of your why's, that is the beauty of it all :)
Love the videos jride! I'm so close to being ready to set up my store, just waiting on some shipping stuff to come in. You've been my biggest resource in getting started, thank you for all of the information you give out
Thanks for sharing your FAITH, Jake! - I like to include John 3:16 in EVERY item description, in hopes that at least one person will find the Lord because of my #eBay business.
Wow, what a great uplifting and motivating video, and not flip insight! You really offered some valuable advice throughout. Plan to watch this episode multiple times. ❤
just a thought but I have a tape dispenser on the far upper right corner of the table (screwed down) with one hand you can get small pieces fast, i also use a tape gun... I'm going to leave the comment up but I accidentally posted it to your video, up top I was looking at Mel's video😂
Man one of the biggest motivation killers for me has been neck pain from sitting at the computer listing. I have bought about 10 different neck pillows and none of them seem to help. Meanwhile, since I quit my nursing job at the end of november I haven't had any back or shoulder pain. Not sure which is worse!
My why is my children. I want them to have choices when they're older and options that I didn't have. As to how I fight off burn out... I just send the majority of my inventory to Amazon🤷♂🤷♂Simplifies the process a lot
Your example of trying to mix in items someone enjoys, to reduce burnout, when sourcing or listing items That can feel monotonous. That sounds like the pomodoro process. Set yourself 10 to 15 minutes to grind. And then give yourself 5 minutes of fun time. Rinse and repeat. You'd be surprised how much more you get done with that little break to keep you motivated. Look up pomodoro technique if you all are new to it. It'll change your world.
I just focus on ebay and stuff when I'm between jobs. Which has been pretty much exclusively since I got laid off over covid and perked around. But now they say we have to keep handwritten notes of costs and everything to pay taxes even when we don't get a 1099k. That alone makes it not worth it for me. I have a tax pro. Never heard this until today. Now I'm like 500 sales in wondering what I do if my tyrant government audit me for a hobby.
You pause on something you know you need to do, stop, count to 3. and just do it. You're welcome. *If this doesn't work you need to work on discipline*
Love that so sweet LOVE your why's especially parents & your Higher Power for sure. new subscriber but, been listening for awhile. Thought I already was, but this made me make sure :-). Continued success ! fr: DR Grp., maybe just never new you was in it.
I haven’t watched you for about 3 months and will say that you now seem much less enthusiastic....whether with EBay or TH-cam. Not your old uplifting videos. Best wishes going forward...
It's not eBay, it's entire economy thing. Prices everywhere shoot thru the roof, people don't have money. If you think switching to other platforms will fix it, I would politely disagree. Good luck, however.
Death pile? I have a death room!😂 ooh,that sounds spooky! Really though, I do. I just started listing May 1st. I can do this ! ❤ I love your why!❤ My why is to be able to visit grandkids that both live out of state! ❤
Great advice, thank you! The mind games we play with ourselves can be hard to get over, i.e. I'm not listing enough, I'm not fast enough, others do more than I do. And then it gets depressing and the joy is lost. A lot of my items are vintage. It will always be slower to list those types. I need to get out of my own head! 😅 Enjoying the moments in and out of the business are important! Thanks for the reminder and advice!
Im in my 50s. I’ll Respectfully Explain. Add More Skills That Make Money Is The Answer For Me The Skill That Put Me Over The Top With Earning Was Selling Cash Secured Puts And Then Selling Calls When I Took Assignment . Too Much To Explain But I LEARNED HOW BY LISTENING TO TH-cam VIDEOS WHICH LISTING.
I began collecting video games as a hobby and then found I could resale them for a profit. Hunting for items at thrift stores and yard sales alone keeps me motivated to continue. You never know what you will find!
I appreciated hearing again about your "whys." I appreciated also hearing about other ways to help yourself stay motivated. Excellent ideas that I can tell you thought deeply about.
This is so amazing. I struggle with all this daily. I’m a full time RV’er and full time reseller and this video is great. I’m a big fan man, so keep it up!
What’s your why?
I feel like my Why might not be as wholesome as yours, or as others' lol but here goes.

95% of people will not do what is truly needed to be self employed ... it takes work ... first in last out... nothing is left to guess work...

Came for the burn out video ,and end it up falling in love with this man .
I loved when my parents missed my games. Felt like freedom
I went to every single one of my daughter's volleyball games and recorded them all. It was worth it and awesome.
Love the videos jride! I'm so close to being ready to set up my store, just waiting on some shipping stuff to come in. You've been my biggest resource in getting started, thank you for all of the information you give out
You’re going to do amazing! Thanks for reaching out 😊
I admit I play TH-cam in the background while I'm working on listings so it feels like I have coworkers 😂
Our work always has to be connected to a higher purpose! Family, friends, our communities😊 thx for sharing your whys
Thanks for sharing your FAITH, Jake! - I like to include John 3:16 in EVERY item description, in hopes that at least one person will find the Lord because of my #eBay business.
You are the best person I’ve meet in a long while, I wish my dtr felt that way,
Your parents should be very very proud of you❤ your a good man❤
Really admirable 'whys'. Tons of respect.
Thank you😊
Wow, what a great uplifting and motivating video, and not flip insight! You really offered some valuable advice throughout. Plan to watch this episode multiple times. ❤
It’s not motivation. It’s discipline. It’s the same with working out. How do you keep doing it? Discipline.
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME FEELING BURNT OUT DOING THIS STUFF SMH NOW I FEEL RELEIVED ITS NOT JUST ME
just a thought but I have a tape dispenser on the far upper right corner of the table (screwed down) with one hand you can get small pieces fast, i also use a tape gun... I'm going to leave the comment up but I accidentally posted it to your video, up top I was looking at Mel's video😂
So inspiring ❤ thanks for sharing personal why .
Clothing sellers have my respect. I feel like I listed 150 items listing one clothing item. 😂
You sound like Walter White when you discuss your "why"
...and I'm not crying, you're crying. Lol.
Great video brother!

Meanwhile, since I quit my nursing job at the end of november I haven't had any back or shoulder pain. Not sure which is worse!
You need to do some neck and back stretches and neck strengthening exercises on a daily basis.
I didn’t catch the name of the podcast you recommended. Can anyone tell me ?
When you are not motivated, that is ok...rely on discipline.
For remotes will you put batteries in and test for the light with your camera first? Thanks
Don’t know if you’ve had surgery yet, but best of luck (prayers) if so.
I love your plan and your journey. do you have any suggestions on where to put your 700,000×2 liquid? Or where to put it while I’m building?
Thanks for explaining your "why" to a degree. Secondly, how do you find a 12 percent return? LOL
This video made me cry MY WHY is my Grandson who I can't see and yes reselling is my part time but I do get burned out
Can someone post the postcast with the Nurse Flipper and Punching?
My why is my children. I want them to have choices when they're older and options that I didn't have. As to how I fight off burn out... I just send the majority of my inventory to Amazon🤷♂🤷♂Simplifies the process a lot
Can you sell remotes without backs
love.
Your children to be are the luckiest children in the world ❤
Ah, I loved your "Why's" heart to heart! Many blessings to you, my dear!
You think just like me, you are a great example to the rest of us to keep grinding. I hope the best for you
I’ve been selling for about a year and I’m not selling much, how long does it take to get really going?
l think looking at your bankaccount is enough reason to stay motivated lol
Just a curious question how do you pack and ship your sunglasses?
Your example of trying to mix in items someone enjoys, to reduce burnout, when sourcing or listing items That can feel monotonous. That sounds like the pomodoro process. Set yourself 10 to 15 minutes to grind. And then give yourself 5 minutes of fun time. Rinse and repeat. You'd be surprised how much more you get done with that little break to keep you motivated.

Can someone link the tuesday live please, i cant ifnd it anywere. thanks guys
If you go to his main TH-cam channel page there is a tab for all of his live videos.
fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine i'll list 5 tonight ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hi Jake. Thank you for all of your videos. Do you ship internationally?
I just focus on ebay and stuff when I'm between jobs. Which has been pretty much exclusively since I got laid off over covid and perked around. But now they say we have to keep handwritten notes of costs and everything to pay taxes even when we don't get a 1099k. That alone makes it not worth it for me. I have a tax pro.

Get well soon ❤
This was an amazing and helpful video! Ty!
I really wish you all the best your heart is strong
Just like the Nike commercial, just do it
🙌
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Wow! Interesting observation! “A lot of jobs” you are productive 1.5 hrs and don’t do much the rest of the day!? 😏
You pause on something you know you need to do, stop, count to 3. and just do it. You're welcome. *If this doesn't work you need to work on discipline*

This is a GREAT video! Ty! I list what I don’t like first, then I do some easy stuff and lastly what I enjoy. Then I take a break and get back to it.

I get burned out on the packaging, when it's a listing day it's bring your beer to work day
Amen! I praise God for every order that comes in because without Him there is no provision.
Glad to hear that those are all normal experiences. Thanks for your suggestions. Awesome video
I love to sell plush but there not selling,I go with the flow of what on so I’m not high, but how do you get your name out there?
I don’t like Punch and kicking he uses the F word don’t like him,
Why am I paying over $100 for shipping labels on a $300 item?
Gave me chills listening to your why🔥
Over source...under list. So true.
Great video bud. Thanks
Amen brother!!!! 💯
❤❤
Batching listing by category and or piece is a real smooth way to move forward. Yes, stack 10 shirts next to you and do them.
Im in my 50s. I’ll Respectfully Explain.

love all the videos! I'm new to the reselling game and your videos have helped me a ton. Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the great work!
I sooo needed to hear your WHY bc it really helped me re focus, sometimes I get lost in the process, so, circling back to the why really helped
I love your nuggets of wisdom. The motivation vs discipline. Life is art not science. The why’s. Good advice, thank you!
I appreciated hearing again about your "whys." I appreciated also hearing about other ways to help yourself stay motivated. Excellent ideas that I can tell you thought deeply about.
This is so amazing. I struggle with all this daily. I’m a full time RV’er and full time reseller and this video is great. I’m a big fan man, so keep it up!
I been doing it since 2014. Burned out is real. One time , I donated my entire inventory
we all will motivate each other love you guys man.
Great video man! Really liked this one
Wrong, if you over perform you are not over paid, you are compensated fairly depending on performance. So close.
Thanks for all you do
Excellent advice!😊
Agreed, buddy.
