FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS!

So as the title says FOCUS!.  What do I mean by this?  Figure out what you are interested in and excites you and go for it.

Why am I writing this?  Well I got into this and checked out the videos on YouTube.  There are a lot of them and it can be too much.  So much it gave me a temporary case of ADD.  Clothing, electronics, video games, glassware, LEGOs, VCRs, printers, coffee makers, puzzles, and every other form of low hanging fruit.

Basically my mind was in a free for all.  I was going after everything.  Now I have all this stuff and crossed the line between reseller and horder.  Time to refine my game and FOCUS.

Here is my plan:

• 30% Retail Arbitage.  Why so low?  It bores me.  Scanning is just no fun to me.
• 10% Books.  Why so low?  Same as above.  Will scan for cash.
• 55% used Amazon and eBay items.  Used is my bag.  It is like a treasure hunt and never boring.  I don't need "quick flip" or "turn and burn" type sales.  Yeah I want income and profit but it does not rule my life.
• 5% take a chance, gamble on a item

How am I going to get there?

• Figure out 5-10 fields I will specialize in.  Stop the free for all and FOCUS on certain items.
• No longer than a 7 day period from buy to list.  Preferably buy and list the same day.

So why am I doing this?

• Need to pay off some high interest debt.
• Need to fix my house and sell it.
• Need to propose to my girlfriend.  She deserves better than me but I am going for it!!

So there it is.  FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS.  Do not spread yourself too thin.  Make time for your business and personal life.  Both are very important.  FOCUS on your family and relationships.  Without those two you have an empty life.

Reason I have not been posting

I don't think I have any followers on this blog.  But to those who do stumble upon it, posting to this will be sparse.  I need to rethink what I want to do with this blog.  My intentions were to post my experiences with reselling on eBay and Amazon.  But I have joined the Green Room, a paid Facebook group.  Since that is a paid group they expect you to keep the knowledge learned in the room.  So tips, BOLOs, and information like that I cannot share.  I am also a member of The Reseller Society and FBA Rockstars on Facebook.  Those are open groups and I can share that info here.  But trying to keep the source of what info I learned where strait may be hard.  So going forward I will have to figure out what I want this blog to be. 

Thanks to everyone who has checked this blog out and hopefully I will do something with it in the future.

Brian.
