I found it terribly discouraging as a new person watching resellers sourcing stuff for really really cheap and bragging about how much money they make. There simply are no cheap thrift stores where I live and even the bins have nothing much of value. It’s all pulled. But you are one of only 3 I continue to watch. I love your positivity and how you share difficult times here and there. So thanks!

I am not doing well this month 😞 Last month was good...month before not good. Feels like a rollercoaster ride. Feels really unpredictable...ugh. So grateful this is just a side hustle for fun.

Loved this! What you mentioned about “there’s always more to do” is the very thing that caused me to apply for a 9-5 a few weeks ago. I LOVE reselling and the flexibility it provides. I’ve been full time for about a year and a half - but the mental weight is something I don’t want to carry in this season. Everything has its pros & cons, and maybe I’ll return to doing it full time - but I am looking forward to clocking in & out without the responsibility of the company’s success being on my shoulders 😂 God’s grace for every situation in every season 💕

Give yourself grace. You moved and that takes a lot of time and energy. You’ll get your groove back. Organizing is a great start!

I hope you do expand your home decor vision. I find myself looking at how you have arranged pictures, throws and other things in the background while watching your haul videos. You have excellent taste in furnishings and an eye for details. You got it!!!

What I do to keep happy and content is to enjoy the small "mountains" or "hills" I completed. Even if I get through half a chore, I call that a success and that part completed. I never call what I complete small steps even. They are successes. It makes for lower blood pressure and more smiles on my face. Hugs, Bekah!

My rule is if someone sells a course or has subscriptions or has a patreon… I don’t listen to what they report are their sells because it’s just not the truth many times. There are people that their job is KZread disguised as a reseller so they have to look successful

I LOVE the voice over with the karate dance moves!! I knew you were serious about organizing when I saw that!!

Amen Sister! Thank you for being so honest. I did so well in October and November but December is awful. I am praying for a great January. But I just keep plugging away

I know what you mean, sometimes I go through a slow period and think, should I just take everything to a the donation center and forget about it, but then I’ll get an unexpected sale of something that has been listed forever or sell something within 5 minutes of listing. Knowing that someone got something they really wanted that I found is satisfying. And also, I DO enjoy hunting for goodies and like learning from people like you. It can be daunting when you see the Hustle at Home mom who makes $1000’s all the time…but she does spend a huge amount as well.

What you say is such a gift! Thank you for sharing. I love how you are so honest and forward. My daughter enjoys watching your videos and your positive attitude! Keep going, friend :)

Rebekah I adore you and your transparency with your business and your life! I just started reselling 2 months ago and I’m hoping things pick up soon! I’m addicted to your channel and all of your videos have been crazy helpful!!! Sending you positive vibes & lots of sales!!!

Thank you for your inspiration!❤

Everything you said was so true and I relate so much!

This motivational video is just what I needed! I can relate to so much of what you said. Thank you for another wonderful video!

I love your videos. You have been so helpful to me and my reselling business. I always feel like I’m not doing good but I keep plugging along.

I feel seen!! Thank you!

Great job getting your reselling/work space back in order! We have big plans for that space!

Thanks for the video :) I appreciate you sharing your experience on here and the struggles you've faced and how you've overcome them or are tackling them. Gives me hope that my reselling business will get better.

Thank you Rebekah, I appreciate the encouragement ❤

Hi Rebekah, today i am in Indianapolis at the Hilbert Circle Theater for the Yuletide Celebration. If you have never seen it, I highly recommend it! Happy thrifting. 😊

TY for positive and real video! I am new to this as of September and it's sooo fun and I know it will pay off!! The grind is sooo much more enjoyable when it's something u love to do!!

You’re a total inspiration, and I love the way that you’re so candid

Thank you for your honesty and authenticity! I'm wrapping up my first year of reselling and watching you has helped me immensely! I've learned a lot from you, so thank you for all your incredible work! 💙

Girl i needed to hear what you talked about today. Thank you for the uplifting words.

My sales have been hard won and small dollar amounts. I am glad I am not the only one. You are an inspiration to me. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I think there’s a reason why people don’t mind talking about their accomplishments, but also are hesitant when it comes to talking about their downfalls and issues in their life is because they are praised for their good things that they’re able to accomplish but you get a negative stigma and a lot of Just bad people talking about you and saying bad things about you because you’re admitting there is a problem and that you’re not perfect. It opens up the lines of communication for people to then basically attack you so people are hesitant and are really fearful of admitting when they’re having problems because they don’t want that judgment, and that just bad energy that people tend to cast on those. It goes back to kick them when they’re down, you can’t kick somebody standing up because they’re strong they can fight back. You can kick someone when they’re down because they’re already at a weakened state whether it be emotionally physically whatever. Personally, I feel like people need to talk more about the problems in their lives so that other people can feel OK about the fact that they might have that same problem you’re not alone a lot of people feel alone in their issues and I really wish that the social stigma allowed for people to admit when things are not perfect

And I don’t think that you Rebecca, as a reseller should compare yourself to anybody and feel bad, because not only are you doing amazing for yourself and your family but you’re also out here helping other people which takes extra time out of that business so it if you feel like your business is lacking that may very well be true but it’s OK because you’re spending energy trying to help others trying to do what you need to do to put forth the information that people need that takes a lot of time out of anybody’s day to to just do those things and it’s very selfless that you are willing to take the chance of sacrificing a little piece of your business in order to help others. Don’t feel bad about that please like don’t feel like you’re failing because you’re accomplishing more than other peoples accomplish just because you’re doing two things you’re not just reselling like a lot of those people who follow you and watch you. You basically have two jobs so it’s OK if one of them is not at its max capacity that’s perfectly all right because at the end of the day we are just humans.

Great job you did it😊❤

Thank you for sharing all that you do. It is refreshing to see another reseller who struggles, and the downsides of working for ourselves, and being our worst critic. You are amazing!

Omg, same with sales. We will see something come through in time

You said everything I have been feeling thank you for the encouragement. :)

You are so welcome! ❤️

Rebekah! I did not have one sale from the end of August until Thanksgiving week! You are doing an amazing job, so don't be down on yourself. The Nurse Flipper says t o NEVER compare yourself to any other resellrr becaus e each business is unique. So please folloe that advicr and keep kickin. I, for one , would be lost without you! Happy thrifting. 😊

This past early spring into early summer I went thru my 2 stall garage that is full of inventory. I went thru pretty much every storage tote 1 by 1 and sorted out stuff that wasn't worth my time that I knew wouldn't bring much after PM fee's. I think I ended up with 5 or 6 mini van loads of stuff, I just donated to a Church thrift store. It felt really good to free up the extra space to get to my listed inventory easier to have those more organized. Also sometime early in the summer I started not worrying about having a bright white photo room back ground for my items that I didn't have stock photo's for . That has helped so much having one less thing to spend time worrying about. I also started including photo measurements instead of taking them writing them down & having to type them up in every listing. People seem to like being able to see the measurements themselves. Helps cut down on listing time or even listing errors if I'd happen to type in the incorrect measurement due to listing fatigue. I even started re doing old listings by re taking pics so I can include those measurements pics to have my current faux rustic wood background, so my listing are starting to look more consistent scrolling thru my closet. Seems to be helping because re-done older items that weren't selling are starting to sell.

Omg I love how real you are I used to like your videos but now I love them more because how humble and honest and real you are … feel like you but I keep on keeping on , my dream it’s to do this for a living but it’s so slow right now I can’t but I will keep pushing just like you I admire you inspire lots of u

I love your videos and your transparency. Reselling as a source of income to support your family is HARD work!!! My test tip is to develope a routine/schedule and treat it like a JOB. The flexibility of reselling lends itself to a slide in routine and consistency. Both of which are essential to financial success and emotional/mental well being. For me, the “feeling of being productive/caught up” outweighs the high of thrifting/sourcing. Good point about keeping items you bought when you first started and would you buy them now!!! Let’em go…you’ve got some fabulous and profitable inventory!!!!!😊

100% with you

I just did this went through stuff I wouldn’t want to list anymore amazing how a year or 2 change from Brands

I feel everything you said in this video. I’m an on-call hospice nurse but would love to be a full-time reseller. Started my own you-tube channel and have 18 subscribers. I had a horrible week last week, but I keep telling myself to just continue to be consistent, and It will pay off eventually. Thanks for being transparent!

Definitely been feeling the same way as you! I want more success in my reselling business. For the new year I am going to expand to another platform, I’m also a new mom with a 7 month old so I have been finding it challenging to find that work/baby life balance😅

Well I think you're doing fabulous. I've been with you from the beginning and I've seen the growth. Maybe it would be helpful for you if you went back and watched your very first video. I think you would be able to see how far you have come. Not saying your first video was bad, don't get me wrong. You've gotten better with each video that you've put out. Look how much you've learned! Pat yourself on the back for me.

Hi sweet girl I love watching your videos!! I feel like that so often. Also it took my a full 6 months after last years move to get back on track with my business and now I want off. It’s been a really trying year for our industry with all the inflation people can’t buy as much. I hope you are doing so so well! Thanks for the pep talk Amanda Donlon Amy’sthreads Poshmark

To be honest, I’ve felt like quitting reselling soooo much lately… sales are that bad. I’m literally doing the best I can, by listing & sharing. Nothing seems to work anymore. It’s so weird. I don’t understand what’s happened 😭😭😭

Hey hey!! Do you plan on having a garage sale? You live in a great area to have one in the spring...

Hi sis we are doing ours as well 😊

As a virgo you have to build a business to make a business. It takes hard work. I just sold something from last year big profit. But if I hadn't listed it it wouldn't been sold. An you just moved. I look at other people selling too. Sales are down people are struggling. Your house looks amazing by the way. I look at other people how much inventory they have I have 900 items. They have like 2000 to 6000. . That alot to store I think we get hard on ourselves. There real rude at are bins pucked over before getting us too look at. Your doing fine.😊😊

I’m a Hoosier also! Maybe we will run into each other thrifting at the bins!

I have been struggling all year with my ebay business because my mom health has declined a lot and needing constant care. I love watching your videos and truly gives me inspiration to maybe next year start trying to do more with ebay and finally doing a whatnot show. My mom is also a huge fan of yours and loves watching your videos. Would there be a chance you could send her a christmas card? It is her favorite time of year. Thank you!

Omg why are u comparing yourself to youtubers? Its a trap. You didnt mention stop watching youtubers as an option. Social media not great for mental health. You started this video saying the reason u feel terrible is watching others.😢

Sales have been slow for me since Thanksgiving maybe a little before? 🙏 🩷
