6 months ago...

All I used Twitter for was to mindlessly scroll through stuff I was half interested in.

My life hit some serious roadblocks.

I stumbled on @CoachJoeHart who was doing some cool stuff flipping online.

THREAD
I set a goal:

60 days
100 items sold
$1000 in sales

If I only knew how conservative I was being.

After 60 days I had sold 133 items for $3463 in sales.
Needless to say, I was stoked.

But not just because of the sales.

You see for the 18 months prior I had been going through the toughest time in my life.

I could provide the details but Twitter isn’t the platform.

Simply put, I hadn’t had very many “wins” during that time.
Funny how life works though...

Surpassing my eBay goal was a win.

Didn’t matter if it was “small”.

It was a win.

A step forward.

A sign that I could still accomplish something & crawl out of the hole I was in.
Even in January I had no idea where I would be just 5 months later.

I got excited about some of the items I had success with on eBay.

So I wrote an eBook.

People bought it.

Then I wrote another.

For free.

100s of people have downloaded it. https://gum.co/OCKWq 
Then I spent hours putting together an entire guide on how to get started on eBay.

Since then I’ve made over $1200 in sales on Gumroad.

Plus $7400+ eBay sales.

Gained over 700 followers.

And made even more steps toward rebuilding my life. https://gum.co/OnLL 
Now I’m fully committed to increasing my time devoted to eBay with the help of 600+ members in the Products for Profit group.

And I’m in such a different place then just 6 months ago, I almost can’t believe it. https://gumroad.com/a/880964723 
So if you stumbled on this thread, here’s some real talk:

Start.

Whatever it is.

Just start.

Don’t be afraid to fail.

Try it & if it doesn’t work, keep going.

You’ll find your way.

You’ll climb your way back.

You WILL rebuild your life.

I’m doing it right now 🙏🏻
