It is a blessing to have a business from our home. I always knew that I wanted to do something from the comforts of my home where I could still be mom, wife, friend, and grandma. The freedom for me is unsurpassable. I have taken many paths on this journey of being my own boss. For example, I spent my morning reading for a college class final, (of course I would go to college from home too) posted some items on eBay, went to a friend’s baby shower, came home and packaged and filled my mailbox with packages.
Then had the craving for pumpkin pies and whipped a couple of them up. While they were cooking I finished my book and did my book report. That is why I am an entrepreneur. I want to work for myself, be my own boss, and fit in as many fun things as possible.
This is my kind of lifestyle. It is important for me to make this business last for my lifetime and hopefully handed down to my children. I have a burning desire to be self-sufficient.
The platforms I sell on are eBay, Amazon and Facebook Marketplace. I am honorable. I tell people when I make a mistake and I fix it. I may give them a partial refund or send them a new item and I do my best to help them feel better about it. I give a good description of the item and be as honest as possible. I am aware that people take advantage of me sometimes. I have found that usually, that is not the case. If they are ruthless I simply remove them from my life and block them from my posts. I have found that when I am honest with my people and kind and don’t get offended easy. People are usually kind when I am kind.
