Thanks for sharing! I go through this same rollercoaster of emotions with reselling based on my daily sales. Trying to remember that if I do the right things consistently, the money will flow in accordingly. Easier said than done, of course. Got to build that muscle, good luck!
Most businesses are struggling through this right now. Business is like boxing. Sometimes you are throwing punches, and sometimes you are taking them and it is only a matter of making it to the bell to fight another round.
I love boxing. One of my favorite things to do, so I like looking at it this way. I'm just going through a tough round right now, but it doesn't mean the fight is over. You're totally right about this. Just have to survive the round and make it to the other side so I can go on offense.
You are not alone. Keep trucking and keep putting in the work. Reselling full-time is so hard. Its great when its great but when its bad its bad. A lot of what happens is simply out of our control. The only thing we can do is what we know works- listing, sending those offers and simply not giving up. The wave will pass. They soon will be just ripples in the water. They don't stop coming, we just learn better ways and techniques on how to deal with them. Don't give up. We are all rooting for you and are with you during these down points. You've got this! 😊
Yes indeed! Everyone of these downs are turning me into a better business owner. I hope to one day look back and this season in life and be thankful for what it has done for me. Thank you so much for your support!
Every day you add to your income streams by more items in your store and viewers to your channel More hooks in the water today = more money in the bank tomorrow. Great work over there!
You're not alone! I cried yesterday when some tops I cleaned for listing still had stains, ugh!! I remembered Tech saying would he sell it if I gave it to him? That calmed me down and I can just make quick decisions to just give them away if the stains dont' budge.
100% it's okay to have those feelings. Sometimes we just have to take a step back and think through the situation with a clear head. Then we can make the decisions that continue to push us forward.
You're doing good, just keep doing what you're doing and sales will pick up, the economy is bad right now and if you can make it right now you'll be killing it when things get better with the economy and people have more expendable income
I was telling my wife this yesterday and today. If we can do well in December then January-May could be an amazing time for us. Just have to keep it up
Don't ever let go of hope, nephew. Hope is the belief that something is possible but not certain to happen. When you have hope, you move towards the possible direction. Without hope, you don't get out of bed. Now, the flip side is learning to deal with disappointment. It happens. It's not the end of the world & tomorrow is a new day to start again. Try not to let eBay dictate your emotional state. You or no one else can contol when sales come in. Yesterday, I got one sale & that was payment from yesterday 😅. What did I do? I went about my day as normal & did what I planned to do. Natural ebb & flows. Take care of yourself 🌟
Disappointment is rough! I didn't expect it to hit me so hard since usually I can stay emotionally even during the downtimes, but there's a lot of outside factors right now that had a multiplicative effect on my stress, so it all came crashing down for me. But like you said, just have to do what you planned and keep it pushing. It's part of the game.
You need HUGE signs in your house that say "No Micromanaging" and "Today is 1/365th of a year". Do not, I repeat, do NOT dabble in day trading. You'll have a heart attack within a week. Zoom out, zoom out, zoom out!
Yes definitely because of fear that the process won't work. Just have to zoom out and let it be. The plan is working... I just need to keep working the plan. You're exactly right!
Looking at the day-to-day, hour-to-hour activity will get into your head. I think we’ve all tried to stare at the app and will sales.Some months will be better than others. If you get stressed out, remind yourself that you can always do some extra DD.
I try to think of treat this as my journal which is why I put the date and time on every thumbnail, but an actual journal would not be a bad idea at all. Would make it easier to reflect on things that I can't quite share on here.
You’re not alone Isaiah. I go through the exact same emotional roller coaster. Part of the game. Keep hanging in there -Oliver
Yes indeed Oliver! It's tough but it's making me stronger. I hope you're doing well brother!

100% It is indeed a muscle. And every time we exercise it, we get better and better at using it.

@ of course! And dude that’s a great way of looking at it! Couldn’t agree more 😊
Hang in there bro!!
100% Gotta keep it pushing!

It's a compounding vehicle. I just have to keep letting it do its thing.

Do you think the stress is because you don't actually trust the process?
Yes definitely because of fear that the process won't work. Just have to zoom out and let it be. The plan is working... I just need to keep working the plan. You're exactly right!
Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.

Had me literally pulling my hair, but I just had to get that out, come back to my center, then continue with the plan
I suggest you start journaling, if you’re not already doing so. Also try to supplement with a good multivitamin with Vitamin D

@ Totally understand!
that's nice
Yes indeed!
Sounds like a panic attack? I’m so sorry. Don’t forget your “percent up” will fall as you stay consistent. Doesn’t mean you did anything wrong.
100% I had to realize this during the situation and while making the takes for this video. It could be totally normal.
Ashwaganda supplement at night helps keep my stress response low lol
Interesting! I had never heard of these until your comment! Thank you!
Maybe delete the graph and don’t look at those percentages.
Considered it for sure lol!
#ifindoubtzoomout you got this.
