My Biggest Struggles as a Full-Time Reseller

[@BOBSCOTTONLINE]

If you are "feeling it," bank a handful in drafts and use as a buffer for the days when you don't. This way you can still hold yourself accountable to list but if you're hitting the the breaks in bind/spirit you have some "savings" to keep you goal in check. Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your tips and journey over the past year and look forward to new content in 2022.

[@Josh-Kim]

I think that's the way to go! Having those drafts ready will definitely be important this year. Thanks for watching, and for all the support!

[@figgyflips689]

Daily Refinement has the best advice on Draft Banks. You also need an actual Schedule…you don’t mention having a schedule…maybe something to incorporate.

[@CindyCastell]

Discipline within a structured environment such as the military is WAY different than structuring your own environment! 🙃

[@Josh-Kim]

Definitely! I enjoy creating my own schedule and goals. Just need to keep getting better at doing it 😄

[@thriftup7815]

I can relate for sure! been there and am there today. Analysis paralysis and I have thoughts all over the place. A lot of times I am my biggest obstacle. And I feel like I am a disciplined person as well. But with limited structure being full time and your own boss it can get you! Good transparency man, good luck this year 👍🔥

I want to be more consistent as well and better organization. I also am going to try to really use goals this year, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual goals and make sure that I have them written down and visible. thanks Josh.

[@Josh-Kim]

I like that! Definitely nice to have those smaller goals to get you where you need to be. I like writing things down too.

[@amylynn4924]

One million percent relate to the analysis paralysis. My mind rarely turns off and sometimes my thoughts just take over to where to can’t get anything done. It was refreshing to hear someone else articulate this feeling I’ve had for a long time so well.

[@Josh-Kim]

Definitely a struggle sometimes!

[@JamesWilson-ci8jc]

I was off work for 11 days during holiday break and my plan was to get more listed and work on eBay more but as each day went by, something always seems to come up and I run out of time. I don't see how full time sellers can spend so much time on eBay alone. There's a thing called life and everyday life duties....done these full timers have other things to do during their day? Things like kids, running errands, yard work, house repairs/cleaning etc ..so much else goes on, it's hard to put a full day in working on eBay

[@hattrick1189]

Agree, feel the same way. I work full time so the hours I have are limited and it is so hard for me to get motivated to do this when I am also doing everything else.

[@Josh-Kim]

Life definitely gets busy! I'm going to do my best this year to schedule/plan everything out.

[@DanInDemand]

I want to get an average of 15 listed a day as well. I shoot more for dollar amount listed but that averages 50-60 a week. I think 70-90 would be a better number for me. I just need to source more or better. I don’t keep a back stock so I more than likely never have 70-90 things to list so then I would have to go out sourcing which takes time. I’ll stop my ramble, thanks for sharing Josh. Happy New Year!🎊🎆

[@Josh-Kim]

I'm learning that sourcing the same quality items when you're trying to increase your inventory/listings is harder than it sounds too. Sourcing is definitely super time consuming.

[@budgetedgoods]

Hi Josh! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🥳 Hope you and us all have a much better year ahead. List something today! We all need a boost here and there and some need it daily. Keep pushing and make it it better daily! 🙏❤

[@jennettewalker1722]

Just looking at the comments it sounds like we all struggle with similar things. I’m right there with you. I’ve been off work (I work at Amazon) for 8 months after knee replacement surgery and I told myself to get moving on my reselling. I had good weeks and bad weeks but have seen improvements which gives me motivation to keep going without being too hard on myself. As always, thanks for your honesty and sharing your struggles with us. Happy New Year🎉🥳

[@btackett2]

My goal is 70 a week this year, which part time feels like a lot some days but I have goals I want to reach this year. I'm tackling it on the weekends. I am doing 35 Saturday and Sunday mornings then during the week when I have the energy I will add to my draft bank for the days I don't quite make it to the goal. 35 listings takes me around 5 hrs with clothing so I know that I can do it as long as I don't let laziness win.

[@Josh-Kim]

You got this, Bill! I'm impressed with what you can accomplish over the weekend. Let's make 2022 a good one!

I am working on reorganizing my inventory. Just about done doing that. Trying to be more consistent with Thrifting. I don't go out as often as I should.

[@Josh-Kim]

Organization is definitely something that's often overlooked. 2022 will be an awesome year for us!

[@donas.691]

Organized structure was how you got things done in the military and you can use this same mantra to get things done in your business. If blocking time doesn't work create a list of what you want done for the day. Move those undone tasks to the next day and so on. Not only will you be annoyed for not getting all done on your list daily but it'll show you where you need to improve since we move the least liked task til the end.

[@Josh-Kim]

Appreciate the comment! Definitely plan to improve my systems/processes this year to make sure I get everything done.

[@k0dyw1thaK]

Great BOLOS in the video. Hoka, Kuhl, simms, Untuckit, Carhartt! Thanks! 🙏 Great points on the struggle, I always push myself too far and that typically results in diminishing returns/burnout. Gotta discover personal balance.

[@Josh-Kim]

Getting burnt out is a real struggle sometimes! That balance is super important. Thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@tomeaceslittlemonkeys9280]

Thank you! I’ve tried to explain this to some people close to me. You are so right it is like my own thoughts of organization and tasks makes me freeze and I end up accomplishing nothing. And then some days I’m on task and wondering why I make it so hard on myself sometimes 🤷‍♀️ I’ve found for me it’s easier to pre bag the items I want to get photographed the next day and I have been getting about 11 listed and any others that are left are great to list the next morning before starting the the next photo batch. I have 3 kids so I’m pretty busy most days anyway. We all have our own way that works for us. You will rock this 👍 just be your own drill Sargent 😉. But again thank you, I related with everything you said and it’s nice hearing your perspective on it. Be well 💕

@@Josh-Kim I actually intended to leave a more insightful comment but my laptop was having some serious problems! Anyway, as per your video, life is a roller coaster. Get up, do the best you can do today. Today's best may not be as "good" as yesterday's best, but tomorrow's could be better. If you just do the best you can everyday, then overall, things will work out. If you get overwhelmed, take a day off. Today, was a rough day for me. So I just did my shipping, and took the rest of the day off. I'll get back to it tomorrow!

[@sporton1977]

Hey Josh! We can all relate to the struggles of being in reselling. I struggle at times because I still have a 9-5…well not really a 9-5 but I’m more part time…but things come up all the time that you have to pull away from your business and sometimes my sales suffer. It’s a day to day struggle like you said. Some days I can knock out 20 listings and feel great and some days, you lack the motivation to do anything. I struggle daily with this but my wife and I do have other ways of making income including our antique booth here in town and we also house sit for people, so I find it’s better for me to diversify my time toward a few ways of making income. I hope that makes sense. I am hoping for some of the same kinds of goals that you shared. Time management is definitely one of them! Peace brother! ✌️
