Then I can really go hard on the detailing this spring!

I can't wait, 2016 will be big!!

ebay funds my real estate portfolio, i only have 1 property but it's a start.

10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job

Ebay has been such a gut for me. Can't even imagine to get through that tiny whole in the wall. I forgot about them long time ago as there are so many obstacles for sellers/vendors in ebay.

The goal is to get away from ebay and use ebay as an outlet to drive traffic to my personal website. What would you do if eBay folds tomorrow? I like the idea of leaving business cards in your package so buyers go to your personal site for additional items.

Repeat customers is the key. No business survives from one time buyers. Think about restaurants, if you have a favorite restaurant, you patronize that restaurant a few times a month.

Family and Bills. That's the real motivation...

A treat once in a while helps too

hehe, make eBay your main family source of income and you won't a different motivation, it won't only feed your family but also buy you a car, holiday and home.

How can i not be motivated ....
Sometimes u have to look behind to get motivated than ahead. From Pizza deliver guy in UK to present day Whitestone, i just thank the Creator who showed me this path. Not sure if i am putting it right .... i have a low contentment level, meaning that i get satisfied with small things in life so i realized that if its not for me, then i should start doing it for people who have done things for me ... First in list are parents ...... the praise from them is also a pure motivation. Cuz if u dont find motivation in material things, you might find them in intangibles.

Now the technical part ...... Noticed and felt that you really sometimes are fed up of replying to eBay queries and tedious daily work. Alongside you cant develop new business (not at least me). Being an entrepreneur, u just wanna do everything yourself, cuz u think that i have just started or my business is new, why hire someone and waste money ..... i use to think same. But then i hired ppl carefully and gave all the daily routine work to them and myself concentrated on buying, production, warehousing, looking for logistic edges. So after changing my role it just started the business lifestyle from stage one.

Variety is key then - balance between online selling and other aspects of life.

I know what you mean, getting ot of bed is the hardest bit of the day for me. Probably because i have to go to a job I hate. Although its nice to come home to ebay and see you made some money by doing very little.

GreenBean · #38 11-23-2015

All a mind set....

And using Stealth is like an adrenalin trip.

I love having accounts work, bring in funds and thrive on ebay not knowing once I was naur'd.
Further I enjoy any time is ebay time. Can work to my own clock.

this is exactly what i was thinking man..

its so annoying working for like a machinery company writing guides (my job) and driving a car with a shaky steering wheel 5 days a week and some day i would like to make enough money of ebay to start my own business

thats what really drives me

I'm not, but even if I was, I definitely wouldn't brag about it anywhere public, including "anonymous" forums....
