Reader, The self-employed economy continues to grow, and I get asked all the time what it takes to make reselling your full-time job. Maybe you've thought about stepping aside from your 9-5 or part-time job, and are wondering what it really takes to grow your vintage reselling business into something that can support and sustain you? That's what I tackle today over on the blog.
As a member of this newsletter, I want to offer you a few bonus thoughts, along with what I write in the post. People usually think that "making it" full time comes down to finding the coolest and best stuff. "What's trending?" or "what sells best in your booth?" are questions I get all the time. But in my experience, getting to a full time paycheck is less about what you sell and more about how you sell. The people that I see making this work are focused. They have a plan and they work to execute it. They treat this thing like a job and don't allow themselves to get distracted by drama around them or what someone else is doing. Creating a plan. Tracking your numbers. Focus and execution. That's what gets you to full time. Some tools to help you get there . . .I have two products that I believe can make all the difference for anyone looking to try and take their reselling to full-time. π Business Budget Tracker: It's a simple spreadsheet that helps you track and manage your monthly cash flow. It also comes along with 2 videos teaching some financial management strategy and exactly how to use the spreadsheet. π How to Think Like a Business Owner Mini Course: An 8 video online course that walks you through the process of changing the way you think. Go from hobby to business mindset in 4 areas: Finances, Inventory, Time/Planning, and Relationships. Included is a 21 page workbook so you can process through the changes and growth you specifically need to make in each area. If you haven't grabbed either of these products yet, I think you should. Just being honest here, not trying to push a hard sell π After 14 years though of doing this and 6 years of coaching others, it's crystal clear to me what roadblocks exist for most of you and what changes need to be made to clear them. These 2 products will help you do that. As a member of this newsletter, I would like to offer a $10 discount on both the Business Budget Tracker and How to Think Like a Business Owner Mini Course, this week only. Just enter the code FULLTIME at the bottom of the checkout page. This discount takes the price of the Budget Tracker down to just $17 and the TLBO Course down to $87. It's valid only through Saturday, and just for people on this newsletter list. Because if you're here reading this, I know you wanna grow, and you deserve help getting there :) β>>> Click here to purchase the Business Budget Trackerβ β>>> Click here to purchase How to Think Like a Business Ownerβ In other news . . .The Found Collection In-Person Sale |

Reader, Starting in 2023, things began feeling different in my business. And as I talked to my booth owner and reselling friends, I wasn't the only one feeling that way. The truth is, since 2020, a LOT has changed in the reselling world - whether you are a booth owner, show seller, or are only online. And in the last 3 years, the pace of changes has sped up. But I don't want you to be discouraged! With change also comes opportunity, and I believe smart sellers can adapt to what we're seeing...

Reader, One of the most frequent questions I get is, "What's trending right now?" Building a successful resell business is part audience-building, part smart-sourcing, and part trend-identifying. Jumping on a trend won't make or break your business, but it certainly can give you a little boost! So new today on YouTube, I'm sharing 15 things I see trending this summer, along with 5 things that seem to be on their way out. Curious to see if you agree with these for your area and customers π§...
