Episode 5 - 12 Habits of Successful Entrepreneurs
In this episode, I talk about the habits you need to have to improve your success in reselling. Although these habits were originally written for traditional entrepreneurs, I tie them into habits needed for resellers.
I also apologize for being too slow on this episode; as you can imagine, running two separate businesses has its downside...time management should be the 13th habit!

Episode 4 - Interview with Jessica Macera - Reseller Fulfillment Services
In today's episode, I connect with Jessica Macera from Business Dynamix Solutions in Naples Florida, and talk about their services for resellers.
Many bookkeeping agencies provide resellers with services, but coupled with fulfillment services, I see this as a game changer for my business.
The website for BDS is https://businessconsultinghelp.com/. Check it out.
I did mess up on some of the audio (about 30 seconds or so), please excuse the mistake. But fulfillment services are going to revolutionize reselling on eBay I believe. -
Episode 3 - 9 Challenges Resellers Struggle With & How to Fix Them
We had to rearrange a few things since our special guest had a last-minute issue she had to deal with. So I recorded next week's podcast this week.
Today I talk about 9 challenges resellers struggle with and how to fix them. It is adapted from a talk I attended where the speaker was speaking about ALL small businesses, but I think it applies to us as well.
1. Finding Customers
2. Increasing Brand Awareness
3. Building an Email List (I can help you with that)
4. Lead Generation - Non-traditional ways for eBay sellers
5. Customer Service
6. Hiring/Firing
7. Managing Workflow
8. Managing your money
9. Scaling your business
See you next week when I meet (hopefully) with Jessica Macera from Business Dynamix Solutions. -
