Work From Home and Pumpkin Pie

November 30, 2019

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.

Measuring the Cost of Being an Entrepreneur

November 26, 2019

It takes grit to be an entrepreneur. What I mean about grid that you have the grit to believe that you will be able to support yourself. Faith in yourself and in what you are doing. To have confidence in money that it will come to you and you can make a living. Tell you the truth one of my greatest fears is when I hired people to help me with my eBay business. I have tried to have a one man show many times.  I knew I wasn’t making it myself. I didn’t know if I would make a profit if I paid someone else to help me. Taking that responsibility and hiring someone once a week was a big deal. It has made a difference in my business. It has helped me let go of the things I am not proficient in. I am more organized and am able to do what I do best, shop and post! My only source of income isn’t eBay. I have found that having multiple streams of income give stability. Even when they are all working for oneself. My husband and have worked for over 10 years setting up accounts with an

The Buzz of Selling on line. What this Bee has Learned

November 23, 2019

Once a Bonneville Bee always a Bonneville Bee, with that being said. My personal mentor is Suzanne A. Wells and we only converse over email, YouTube messages, Facebook Messenger. Because of many commitments, I am not quite ready to move to the next level with her mentorship. She is the real deal. In the future, I will connect into her paid system l. For now, I am learning from her free content.  She has hundreds of YouTube videos that she uses for teaching tools. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=suzanne+wells+ She has taught me to ship internationally. I was very fearful to try this and with her mentorship, I was able to jump into a new world of shipping all over the world. I learned to adjust my posts to get better results. I would always set a price and she taught me to negotiate. She feels that it is her calling to help people with eBay and be successful. She interviews people that are sellers. She shares this with the public. I have learned to buy specialty items that are low cost to sell and a high profit. She has a Monday video that people share items that they sold over $100. This is great to

No one can minimize what happened- again and again

November 18, 2019

Am I hallucinating or is it PTSD? I see his figure in the doorway. It has been years since the incidences They tell me he has changed. Why do I still see his face and feel the fear? I am free of his hold I have forgiven Again Again And again The again’s are never-ending I have been told that I was not really abused. That I am crazy and hormonal. In one instance when I was expected to die from stage 4 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in July 2015, there was a group of my family members talking about this. One person said that it was “karma” and there was laughter. The laughter that I was going to die, that I would lose my hair, laughter that I would feel deaths breath on my face. I have been told there was only one child who stood up for me and said,” guys, this is our mom. “ I have heard about the incidence on more than on occasion. These people were my people, some are my flesh and blood, I love them as only a mother can. To be honest, after my mother died, then a hideous divorce, then Tex died

Will You Deliver? Wanna be an entrepreneur? ask yourself this question.

November 14, 2019

“It is more work listening to you make excuses than doing it myself.”  These are the words going through my mind. In the article “Message to Garcia, Will You Deliver?’ A World of Underachievers: The Curse of the Average Organization” Have you ever asked an employ or even a child to do a task and it is easier to do it yourself than go through the” hoops” to get them to do it?   “You, reader, put this matter to a test: You are sitting in your office—six clerks within call. Summon any one and make this request: ‘Please look in the encyclopedia and make a brief memorandum for me concerning the life of Correggio.’ Will the clerk quietly says, ‘Yes sir’ and go do the task? In your life, he will not. He will look at you out of a fishy eye and ask one or more of the following questions: Who was he? Which encyclopedia? Where is the encyclopedia? The ability to execute is more valuable than education or talent because it is far rarer. Was I hired for that? Don’t you mean Bismarck? What’s the matter with Charlie doing it? Is he dead? Is there any hurry?
