You Can't Run a Business -- Why Most People Aren't Cut Out for Business.

The biggest problem is people see the youtube videos and think 1 thrift store will create a business. The reality is you need 100+ thrift stores you also have to be willing to travel. Great video as always!!

I want to open a book store, but rents are so high it would be financial suicide. I will keep looking tho'​@antiquebookcollective

[@antiquebookcollective]

@@darleneaitken1620 I really, really hope that you can do it!!! :D Rents are nuts, personally, I'm thinking about maybe building my own place for the bookstore down the road too. Can do it all my way with that anyhows.

Cool video. I've never seen your channel before but you came up in my reccomended as this appealed to the make money online niche as a whole. Would be super cool if you could keep applying your videos to the broader market despite your business being with books. Great job and great info. Wishing you all the best with your business.

For me, saying I want to do something someday just means that I’m not ready to put in the time and energy to do it right now. Looking back there are many things in my life that I have said this about that I eventually went ahead and did. Buying a house, get married, having a child…. The latest is starting my own business, which I’m doing now on eBay reselling books and other things. Hence the follow. There’s always more that I want to be doing than I actually have the resources to do, so I have to pick what I’m pursuing at any given time. Also, a side note, my local supermarket has a books for $1 donation bin. So, sourcing at the supermarket isn’t quite as crazy as you might think. 😀

Yeah, it's much the same for me for most of the things I say for "someday", but I've seen that most people don't treat it that way--plus Knight and day was an awesome movie, so I had to reference it. Hahaha! Congrats on crossing so many things off your bucket list, I've yet to follow in your footsteps for most of them, but they're on that someday list for me too--the someday list that means I'll actually do it! :) Lol! Agreed, WAY too many things that I want to do as well than what I have the time or money for, but I'm building toward those goals as best as I can. (I've learned that doing it as fast as I can isn't the best way. I'm getting up that wisdom tree and figuring out what I can!) And that's interesting! My grocery store has a bin of books once in a blue moon, now that I think about it, but that's just because Winco is the best store ever. :P (On a related note, I just scored a handful of books from Dollar Tree and will be dropping a video on those in short-ish order.)

I have done just about everything I've wanted to do. So I just say do it.

PS...why I employed myself? Cause no one would hire me....fine..I'll make my OWN job... :)

[@antiquebookcollective]

Boom! That's how you do it! :) Congrats.

Do you want always wondering where the next dollar come from, or if there's food on the table ?!

[@antiquebookcollective]

No, I'm comfortable. This business pays well for the time I put in and, when I need more money, I just work a few more hours in it. Again, I make really good money hourly with it. It's the best money I've made anywhere. :)
