Plan With Me : December 2020

Every day is a benediction. I have been thanking God every day. I have a disability with my hand, a rare nerve disease called CRPS from shattering glass. Books are literally saving my life. Last month I made my record number in sales. My inventory has doubled in one month with beautiful picture books in pristine, loved condition. I'm going to get more books this month from the Rusk County Library. If that isn't a blessing, I don't know what is.

Not sure why the Lord is letting me hijack the library, but they are letting me walk out with hundreds of books and are giving me the green light to do it.

My goals this month are to relist books that have been sitting this year and make room for all the beautiful books I have. List on Instagram and respond right away to messages and ship as soon as possible.

List everything I can and my clothes that i got in my closet.

My sales goal is to make $400 this month. Last month, November 2020, I made $369.99.

I'd like to make 3-5 orders a day 5 days out of the week.

Ideally make $300 a week, but $860 would also be good a month.

1. Goal 1: Clear Out old Inventory, Relist

2. Goal 2: Make a Sale Every Day, List new books every day on all platforms

3. Goal 3: Utilize Etsy, invest whenever I make a sale and have frequent sales, share to FB

4. Goal 4: Make $400 for December

5. Goal 5: Organize, divide books unlisted/listed and into sections, in safe place
