    Hey there, thanks for reaching out. Let me know if I can be of service. Logistically speaking Michigan to Alabama may be difficult to make work, but I can try to help you figure out the supply end of things.

    From Dead Broke To Financial Freedom in 6 Months Flat

    EXECUTION 
    Just placed an order for the planner. I'm excited to try it out. The website is nice. I think a nice high quality branded pen would be a good addition to your product line.

    Reflections on a yardsale

    We had a garage sale 2 years ago. It actually jumpstarted my craigslist hustling career, which began a month later. I made like $1k on the garage sale (significant at the time for 3 days of sitting around), but parlayed the sales momentum into what is now a 15-20k per month used appliance...

    I'm not saying I'm walking away from appliances tomorrow, I'd just like to think that I won't need to work this hard or this much in a few years. I like real estate because I have the skills for remodeling and managing properties until I can afford to turn them over to a management company...

    EXECUTION 
    I make roughly 200% profit per deal on the average. Average sale being $256ish, average profit around $179. I'm sourcing my machines very inexpensively for the most part (most are $25 per) I outsource most of the repairs and all of the cleaning. I don't currently have a reliable delivery person...

    Thanks. I've been averse to increasing my overhead prematurely. I currently operate out of a wharehouse with a showroom. My fixed costs are roughly $700/month, but I know in order to scale things in this business I will, in all likelihood, have to delve into the world of B&M. I'm still exploring...

    EXECUTION 
    I too sell on Craigslist for many of my sales. I hit 100k sales 13 months into my journey and just hit 100k profit 17 months in. I'm facing many of the same challenges that you've faced regarding scalability of physical goods. I think persistance and patience will prove key as important...

    My entrepeneaurial journey all started back in late June 2014. My dad picked up a washer and dryer set on the side of the rode and brought them home. I was renting from my parents on the same property, so we shared a lot of projects. He was able to get both working with minimal effort and he...
