How I Track My Goals

After struggling to keep a planner this year I realized that I do have a method of organization that without it, I'd be totally lost and unprepared. I thought I'd break down my method for setting goals, tracking habits, and sticking to projects.

Tip #1 Break Your Year in Quarters - Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4

Tip #2 Know Your Short Term & Long Term Goals

Tip #3 Create weekly habits to achieve your goals

Tip #4 Review Your Month in Stages - Beginning, Middle, End

Tip #5 Set Time for Play

Tip #6 Have a Wall Calendar / weekly calendar / a cork board for inspiration or receipts

Tip #7 Set Alarms

Tip #8 Be Realistic and Flexible

Tip #9 Learn to make a budget and stick to it

Tip #10 Plan the Night Before

For Reselling, my biggest tips for tracking progress is to set goals that are attainable and achievable, and to do that, you need data. I was able to push myself little by little every month to where I almost make $400 per month.

Keep a list of everything you sell that year using an excell sheet.

Keep all your receipts. Using pirate ship is a great way to keep track of all your shipping costs.

Review what sold every week.

Make sure you check in on your goals to see if you are meeting your stats.

Make sure you write down your monthly goals.

Write down your goals for every quarter.

have a lot of time for reflection! Every week is a good chance to reward yourself for your hard work and see how you can improve.

Free to E-Bike- $54.02

It dawned on me that I've been making money from free inventory these last two months. It's a risk free way to get into clothes. I think I have sold more clothes than books. There was the Free Inventory I received from my neighbor. I was able to get more needful clothes for myself, and I've already sold a few items. Then there was the free inventory I got from the school bus lost and found. I decided to do a fun series where I save up for a used car. I use my Mercari money for my dental transformation and that is a separate series. I already have a video called Mercari Buys Me Glasses. Here is my video sourcing at the Lost and Found, I've made two: Not everyone Can source here...free inventory Sourcing at the Lost and Found Recently, on Ebay, I sold this Reebok sweater. It sold for $13.00 buyer paid $4.99 shipping. His total was $19.25, and my profit was $8.92. The Nike blue lunch box was a surprise sell for me, so I went back and picked up the other lunch boxes. It

Goodwill Resell for Profit - Did I Make My Money Back?

On May 5th I went to Goodwill and purchased books to resell in my secondhand bookshop. I spent a total of $24.67 at Goodwill, but $2 was for personal use. I have already made my money back on these books! I want to take a look at the sales that came through so far, now everything else in my Goodwill haul that sells will be 100% profit. I also wrote in my previous blog post that I hoped to make my money by the 20th, and it's the 22nd. The first sale was this Rainbow Brite , like new, book. I listed it for $13 and someone made an offer for $10 within 24 hours of listing. My COG was .99, the selling fee was 1.00 and the processing fee was .91. $8.09 was deposited into my Mercari account. After COG, my profit was $7.10. I am trying to make my money back as fast as possible with this Goodwill experiment. I sent offers to likers and gave a whopping $5 off for this fantasy book lot, the buyer accepted for $17 and paid for shipping. I forgot that my COG was .99 cents and not

What Sold January 15-21 (My First Week Back!) I turned .25 cents into $13.49!

I can't believe that the same week I started listing I got sales!! There were three occasions, all sunny afternoons at the end of January between 3 pm and 5pm, right before it got too dark to take pictures. I took photos of all new inventory and chose Pango Books and Mercari to start listing. There has been a lot of promotions on my Facebook page, the social media platform I spend most of my time on. I joined some facebook groups for resellers. I decided on my next paycheck, I wanted to buy my domain. This side hustle was my dream job, maybe being a teacher feels out of reach. But I've always wanted to be a writer. A bookseller, being my own business owner, maybe. Just maybe that's what I can do! My reselling goal is to make what I made at my survival job. (I got paid $12/hour and worked 16 hours a week. Some weeks I worked 22 hours.) I'll be satisfied if I make any where between $80- $170. I listed a total of ___ books to each platform, and a total of 3 books sold.
