Free RegistrationMy inspiration and drive is learning new things and upgrading the product I have into a curated collection for others to shop from. My father started me by teaching me about antique books, at the age of 5 I bought two books for $1 each and flipped them for $40 each. With that money I reinvested half into buying more items and used the rest to buy myself toys and candy. I became independent with my own money so I did not have to rely on my parents.
How do you stay motivated?The hunt for new product along with trading friends and customers alike to support and grow eachothers collection is all the motivation needed.
What would you do with the $25,000?I recently closed my block and motor store to move closer to family, i would use the money to move away from online sales of my product and reopen a new store with more space.
