I sure will love to listen to your mentoring session.
I totally already did a few weeks ago. That one was great too. 💗💗💗
@@marcellaabel-curtis1150 that is so cool.
Yes, I sure have and what an awesome guy, very down to earth. Thanks again. 💜
@@Nana_Tink I agree with you.
Hey Mel, I want to thank you so much. My husband and I are full time everything resellers in New Zealand, we sell on Trade Me (NZ mini version of Ebay) our business also had the same virus as yours! We have found you & Technsports such an inspiration and help in our business. We have watched your discussions and interviews with him several times each. We have also done the "punishment " for the last few months. Just like yours our business is now running much smoother and more profitable too. Thanks to you & Tech we are motivated and inspired to work harder. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your warehouse looks amazing 🎉
This is amazing and thank you for sharing. I’m so glad it also helped you, that makes me feel so good that it can also help someone else.
Oh, I love a before and after makeover show. You broke down what seemed an overwhelming task and didn't waver from the step, next step, step, next step...You spoke about the financial cost of having death piles but for me it's the emotional and social cost to my poor family of the gear stashed all about our home. You're an inspiration to make a difference.
100%. It’s been a weight off my shoulders and when it’s in your house it’s even worse!!! It’s freeing once it’s cleared.
You have been doing such a great job! I can already tell (without watching the whole video yet) this is going to be very encouraging to your viewers.
It looks fantastic. Great job. If I lived in Australia I'd snap those Mills and Boon books straight up. I love them.
They are soooo popular!
Mel, my house is like yor warehouse was. Full of "death piles" in every room. You took 3 months to "clean up your act" so to speak. I am going to try to do the same, INSPIRED BY YOU. Wifey, agrees to help. We have been watching you on and off for a swhile, but not being book sellers, did not ake your serously. Now we know what wonderful help you can be.
Set whatever realistic time goal you need to be able to achieve the goal but also pushes you to meet it. I knew I needed a few months as I juggle many other things in my life. I’m so glad I didn’t try and do it in a month or I would have cut corners. My goal was hard to meet but achievable at the same time.
A lot of what I talk about on my channel relates to people who sell anything! Not just books. I’m all about business practices, systems and helping to motivate and inspire others to take action in their own stores and be better. Everything we sell is just a widget in reality. It doesn’t matter what we sell the process to running a successful business is just the same!
So proud of you!! Looks amazing!!
Thank you!
Congrats Mel on your success of cleaning and organizing the warehouse. It looks fantastic and I’m so happy for you. It’s awesome to see and hear that you listed so much of your death piles. I am looking forward to the day my garages are all organized and merchandise listed. Great job Mel. WTG!
Oh my goodness Mel!!! The warehouse looks absolutely amazing. It looks like a business now. I am so proud of you 😊 You put in so much hard work and it shows. You are definitely an inspiration to a lot of us resellers. I can’t wait to see the new chapter of what’s in store for you and your business.
Congratulations Mel you've done a fantastic job.
Looks great Mel. You have inspired me to.
Hang your camp chairs on the end of the very front shelving unit. Out of the way storage and blocks the dust from the books. Win! Win! Great job!
Great idea!
Your warehouse looks amazing now! Congratulations!
You pushed through and did it! OK, now I need to do this. Thanks again!
You can do it!
Looks fantastic, i had anxiety just looking at your piles of boxes everywhere.
Feels so good to
Your work area looks very efficient. Mel, you have accomplished so much, and the organization will increase your productivity.
You are the cat's meow! What a lot of hard work and dedication. Congrats, Mel!!!!!! Great accomplishment. Now make the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Excellent job Mel….i hope you feel very proud of yourself…great job. 👏 👏👏👏👏👏 you have encouraged the brisbanepicker to start up eBay again. Thank you 😁😁
A disk cleaning machine is worth it. I use the JFJ easy pro, and it helps with the $$$ educational DVDs I pick up, changing nothing into 200 USD and up.
Mel ... that's something that I deal with all the time .... just trying to get my business redesigned and organized. I got some of it done a couple weeks ago but I can't even find part of the stuff that could be sold or thrown out. If I was able to sort through all of it I bet you I could easily take the business to the next level just by allowing me to find stuff more easily and having place for everything instead of just some stuff. It looks great by the way what you did in the end to it all.
I plan to increase mine now to the new level. It’s exciting!
@@backfromburnout I look forward to the day I can take mine to the next level too. I just need a way to substitute the income I get from my job in addition to my income and i can do it. I make about half my income right now from my business and in time could double that ... or maybe I could double it just by changing some of my habits too and putting all my job time into the business.
Of course your excited ... I would be too. I just wish my family and friends could so what I see with my business too. They all come from the school that selling online is not a real way to make money .... unless you want to do it just as hobby. And I don't feel most of them support me doing the reselling business.
Holy moly, Mel! Your space looks fantastic! So organized!! ❤🎉keep winning! 🙌🏻
Thank you! Will do!
I am so proud of you Mel!!! You’re amazing and thank you so sharing it with us!!!!🫶🏻 - Koko
While I really missed your videos here on TH-cam the last few months it was really smart of you to focus on getting your shop more operable!
Probably far too busy too see my comment Mel, especially as there has been 257 comments before me, but as a long time listener first time caller I would like to sincerely congratulate you on the incredible changes you have made. Tuning in from Mallorca, Spain I work from home - similar business to you, so I know personally what you have been going through. Its a tough gig - reselling - but those that will succeed are tough cookies like you. As a veteran backpacker across Oz in 1995, I would also like to congratulate you & the Nation as a whole on the simple TIM TAM. Go Sydney Swans !!
A man of many titles. Boyfriend, #1 CD seller and #1 camera operator in the souther hemisphere
🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations & thank you for the inspiration!
HI Mel thanks for sharing. I totally relate to what you have gone through. I'm in punishment mode.
Stay strong! As you see and feel the productivity it will turn into motivation.
Hard work and consistency is paying off. Very inspiring video ❤🇨🇦🙂
Technsports is definitely a mentor. Master Yoda and we are the padawan
He’s the hest
Amazing achievement Mel. You must be so proud of yourself for doing this, there is nothing stopping you from getting what you want in life. Take care and enjoy.
Mel... 🎉HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎉The warehouse is looking ship~shape!☺️👍Looking forward to continued episodes of "Back from Burnout" and... Some collaborations with Tom, with your new found partner! Turning a NEW page in the "Book of Life!"🤗👍🐿
It's good to hear your voice.im glad you are back
Great to see the improvements that you have made!! You are an inspiration! I am sure many of us will be reorganizing our work spaces because of what you have shown us!!
Wow what a transformation you have done your punishment with great care and you didn’t give up. I’m so happy for you. I see 2024 will be a great profitable year for you. Thanks for sharing this video as I’m sure its inspiration for a lot of people that are watching your videos. Many blessings to you take care 😊
I hope it can inspire others to take control of their own businesses. That would be amazing.
Hi Mel. Congrats on all of your hard work and reorganisation. What a great space to work in now and much more productive. Would you be able to share with us what you did with all of the books that weren’t worth listing, how many were there, and how have you changed sourcing going forward? Would you consider writing a book on mills and boon ? You could self publish. Maybe you’re not interested in doing that, or of sharing your knowledge. I bet avid readers soul be interested too. Thanks for this video, and I’m so delighted that you’re enjoying life and have Tom to share things.
Work is work. Just do the work!
13:50 yes!!! Guard that back!!! 😊❤
What an achievement! Superhero award for you! Can't wait to see what you achieve in 2024. Thanks for sharing your journey - its a joy to join you on.
I love watching your video. Now it's time to take care of my death pile.
Yessssss! Do it!
Mel, it looks amazing🎉 ❤
Thank you!! 😊
You're an inspiration. My ebay shed is exactly like your before video. Time for the punishment. I used to love shipping. Now I dread it because of the mess I have to work around. I always try to keep my shipping table clear. Doesn't always happen.🤷♀️
that warehouse looks awesome! I have added a lot of CDs and DVDs to my Stock lately and they are doing good. easy to take photos of and list....no such thing as dead media... as you can tell from Thom's inventory and sales :). having a clean working area makes working fun.... yes FUN! lol
Awesome! Looks so good. Thanks for sharing and encouraging.
You are very inspiring.
The bins are genious
Something so simple but makes such a difference!
So inspiring Mel! Great work!
We have a snowstorm (allegedly, so far it's mostly rain) hitting the west coast of Canada so when I went to my storage locker this morning to grab a DVD I sold last night, I grabbed two boxes and two bags to bring home and list while we're snowed it!
Looking forward to hearing more about selling CD's and your machine when you get it. I have 3 bags of used DVD/CD's here that I need to put my JFJ Pro to work with!
I will be in Sydney soon;) My first trip to Australia 😊 I'm so excited.!🎉
Oh wow!! Exciting! Sydney is a few hours from me!
I’m going to Sydney Australia Day weekend my birthday
Kudos to you Mel... you've worked your butt off these last few months... I wish you an awesome year of growth
Thank you!
Great work Mel! Very inspiring. I totally need a sort out like you’ve done, I’ve got books and stuff everywhere.
Well done, Mel!
I love your honesty.
You go girl!! Your doing a great job!
Awesome, way to go!!!! I'm definitely inspired!!! Thank you. : )
oh wow!! it looks so amazing!! but my OCD kicked in and wanted to put those books for op shop into bags (ready to go) and move them, the camping chairs, whiteboard down the front of the warehouse so that they are not a tripping hazard..I saw a couple of little spots where they might fit lol..but absolutely well done..it really does look amazing!
Welcome to the new Mel! 🥰
12:50 so true!! Your mind can't get past the clutter That's why it shuts down. Once the clutter is cleared you can focus. Simple stuff.
Love your name what treasures do you sell?
@@HereatJodstas awe!! Thanks! If an item catches my eye 👀 I will put it in my eBay store or my local booth. Doesn't have to be vintage for me. I've come across some very interesting items in my time as a reseller. Thank you for your inquiry.
I am blown away! You are amazing. I can’t believe that is the same space. You did all that in 3 months, how many times did you want to just throw a match in there. You kept at it and now you have every right to be bursting with pride. It is orderly and very detail well thought out . Good on ya 🥰
I had days I wanted to cry. I had days I stood and did 8hrs straight of photography. I had some boxes and piles I dreaded. But the more I did and the more productive I was the more motivated I became to finish it. And in turn productivity turned to happiness. Win win.
Mel, all I have to say is ..... I'm proud of you. Piles of inventory items is daunting. I am facing that at the store I work at. You are inspiring. Thank you. Hugs.
Congratulations! It looks incredible and we love seeing achieve your goals. Thank you for being an inspiration for so many of us!
Good to see you back on TH-cam, Mel! I am not seriously motivated to tackle my own warehouse space and organise everything after watching your own makeover. It's amazing how much getting your space sorted and organised can motivate and improve productivity and in turn increase profitability! I've been experiencing the same issues you have with bending down over bins to throw out rubbish and love your idea of having the bins on the edge of the benches. Would you mind sharing with us where you got them from?
It feels so good now in a clean space. I bought the bins in a recent trip to Melbourne. It was a shop that sold used office furniture. But I don’t know the name of it sorry but I know they had several stores around Melbourne. I got them for only $10 each!
A place for everything an everything in its place
I'm so happy for you smashing it out, being with positive people can make such a difference.
It really does!
Mel… YOU GO Lady! Great job! So proud of you! Youve got this…. Obviously! 🫶🏼 Sending you all the positive energy for your future and success but most importantly, independence!
Absolute outstanding job, Mel!!! You’re a true inspiration ❣️
Well done Mel .... looking real gooood!!!!
Thank you!
Just The motivational vid I needed , Been so Lazy and have unlisted stuff everywhere . Time to do some punishment hahah . Great to see ya so Bubbly Mel . Might see you at some auctions during the new year . Steve xx PS. Might clean the kitchen while im at it 🤣
Nice job mel was looking forward to seeing the transformation after u got back to the grind.
You are such an inspiration Mel! Your store looks fantastic and I'm excited to see how well you do now that you have a process and such a beautiful space to work in. Congratulations! Job well done!
I was on top of my piles until I just got back from holidays and have piles of new stock all over the place. Need to process it all before it gets used to being on the floor
I have a new haul and I’ve been processing it as fast as I can and have made it a priority to be done. I think that’s the only way. Big hauls must be done ASAP!
I have the true blood series, only need 2 more books before I list it. Great job Mel.
I always hit the like button before you finish your introduction on each of your videos. Love seeing a new Mel video! You’re such an inspiration x❤
AWESOME you got organized and cleaned up . for the new year i committed to my self to list minimum 5 items each weekday
You can do it!
Hey Mel! Love your videos. I have been toying with the idea of changing from an everything seller to just a bookseller. Since I absolutely love books. You are such an inspiration!
9:46 I love the way your face changed and I just knew you were going to mention Thom and then you did. :) Sooo cool.
I don't know if it's Thom or Tom, but either way, I'm so happy for you both! Working together, so close to his warehouse....just so much fun! Thank you for sharing your life and romance with us.
Thank you :) He shortens Thomas to Thom x
Job Well Done!!! You are going to ROCK 2024!!!!
I bought a storage unit full of magazines. It's amazing how much some of them are worth. Especially the Vogue magazines.
I had a few vogue magazines that didn’t seem to sell is there any trick to selling them? Hey I’ve just subscribed to you Hb one your First subscriber ❤
@@HereatJodstas you have to research all of them. If they sold for under $15 I didn't bother listing them. I had a few that were selling for over $200. I wasn't quite sure about my magazines condition so I priced them $50 bucks cheaper. They sold pretty fast.
Mel!!! You are such an incredible inspiration!! I am starting to plan for retirement here in the US and one of the things I want to incorporate is reselling on ebay. I found an outstanding why to acquire books here in my city for an average of .02 cents each (based on what I've purchased). Of course, that was almost a year ago, and I haven't even started listing for a number of excuses, and now EVERY ROOM in my house has hundreds of books in boxes, bags, and stacks. It has to be over 2000 books. You have absolutely inspired me to make this work. I work full time and have to schedule any time I'm going to work on this, so after watching this video, I've planned out my 12 week year to be able to start listing. Wish me luck! All the best to you and your family this 2024.
Yeahhhhhh! She's back! Wow Mel! It looks SOOOOOOooooo good! You have inspired me BIG time! I am fighting a virus myself and are taking steps. So proud of you. I too was a single Mom and in your situation years ago so I can relate...YOU CAN DO IT! I did...and now, years later, I am in a virus situation so I'll need to fix things again but my strategies are paying off. Hard work does pay off. Well done you!
AMAZING! You should be proud. I know your kids are too. Growing pains are not fun but the results are super.
You need to buy shelves to go higher & a step ladder like Tom has lol. 😂
hang on, you'll be competing with your boy!! Hope he's OK! Your cleanup is great, as a past archivist /librarian I was used to working by the meterage of shelves, it's a specific skill. I dont know if you have thought of this but part of risk management in paper is frequent pest level tests and management when needed. Plus, what are you doing for cross ventilation? The dust will get into you too. There are methods for dealing with this kind of thing tho', you appear to have intuited a lot of it. It's based on physical loications created in the database even if you have to list a location as "floor between unit 2 and unit 3". The methods are based on warehousing and logistics, usu. bottom to top, coding every space and keeping the location database updated. And L to R , front to back, or alternatively based on item dimensions- but books are of course, more on type/genre
Not really competing as we’re at totally different levels 😝 He has over 100k listings! However I’m the number 3 book seller in AU and he is the number 4 so we have some friendly banter and rivalry over that one ha ha
Wow! What a difference. I’m sure this will improve your business so much! So inspiring!
It already is, sales are increasing which is great
Fantastic job Mel! Looks so awesome! All of your hard work is paying off. You are a wonderful inspiration to many. Thank you for sharing and encouraging others. I’m wishing you and everyone a successful 2024 ❤️❤
Your warehouse is amazing now. Incredible the work you've accomplished. All those new shelving units must have cost a pretty penny but worth it I'm sure. Good job. For a while there you were sourcing so much. How do you manage sourcing now? Can't wait to see step 2!
This is amazing Mel, what a huge accomplishment. You have inspired me to finish reorganizing my studio. You rock girl!!
It looks amazing in there! An inspiring space.
Looking GREAT!!! What a wonderful job you have done. I love your new setup - it is so ergonomic. I am glad you lifted your shipping station UP!! You need to do the same thing to your photographing station. It won’t make much of a difference and you will still be able to list effectively AND you won’t break your back. Very proud of your hard work!! Congrats.
Mel it looks fantastic! You took your punishment and made a huge reward!!! So inspiring!😊💐
Looks great Mel. You have inspired me to get my butt in gear and get my polymer clay business working ❤
Mel, this is amazing! You’ve worked so hard and it’s really paid off. Great video! You’ve inspired me to get my space organized!
Congrats, Mel! I am a book seller in the US. I've been slowly working through my own death pile. Your warehouse looks great! You are so inspiring to me.
oh my goodness Mel it looks beautiful!!!! I bet you enjoy showing up to work with it looking this good!!!
What an achievement! I bet that feels sooo good! We recently did this to our house! Not quite done yet but the spaces we have giving homes to every single item to feels amaZing!
You are adorable! It is inspiring to watch you! Everyone makes mistakes and life happens! It is so wonderful to see you take your control and take your power back. Most times we can fix our own mistakes. I'm very proud of you. You should be proud of yourself.
Luv your channel and the shop looks great!
Wow 😮 Looks amazing Mel! You’ve done so much work , well done xx
Wow, Fantastic looks so good.
Great job, Mel! Looks fantastic. I’m inspired! I got a couple stand up desks and I love them! That is a good plan.
I really want one of those.
Well done gal!!
Mel!! This is your best video for the kick in the ass I needed. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻Have already marked it & your series to America to share with some friends just getting into eBay. 🇨🇦
Looks great!!! You should be proud of yourself, that was a lot of work!!
Thank you!
