I didn’t use savings to start reselling. I used my garage. Here’s exactly how I did it 👇

“Nobody dreams about becoming the flagpole guy.” I love these type of posts from @TS_Secrets. Highlighting ordinary people living extraordinary lives doing overlooked, “boring,” and seemingly ordinary things. The reality is that MOST of us end up doing something that we never really set out to do. there are so many opportunities to make a decent living doing something you enjoy and are uniquely good at. You don’t have to have that cookie-cutter job or career that sucks the life out of you. Find the niche that you are passionate about, that you are skilled at, and that solves people’s everyday problems and brings them value and makes their life better. That’s the lane where you will find some genuine fulfillment and satisfaction in your everyday work life.

Had a mystery box bid up to $370 tonight on my live show. I was shocked. Too bad it was a bot and the payment failed. 😭 The thrill was fun while it lasted though. 😂

I’m not suggesting this is a battle in my home… but what is the appropriate lifespan of a condiment/sauce bottle in the fridge? Assuming it’s still within date, is there a threshold for when it gets tossed? I think we have more condiments and sauces in our fridge than actual food. 😭

I’m so close you guys! 🤞

Frustrating update to my Dumpling and Nee Doh story: Thankfully, some folks on X alerted me to a recall on the Squishy Dumplings. Someone else pointed out that the Nee Dohs I got were counterfeit. When I called my supplier (a well established distributor in town), he didn’t seem interested in looking up records to see if the Dumplings were included in the recall. No problem to refund. Here’s the worse part: Regarding the Nee Dohs, I told him it looks like they are counterfeit and asked if he could verify they are authentic. His responses: “no, these are knock offs” “Excuse me? So when you sold these to me, you knew they were counterfeit.” He replied, “yeah, the real ones are way more expensive, that’s why got such a great deal.” He said he’d refund no Problem. I went today to get that taken care of. I honestly was just trying to get my refund and not get sucked into the lecture I wanted to give him. Get in. Get out. He doubled down on the Nee Dohs though, saying I could sell them because they have the Nee Doh logo and they are just “knock-offs” because real Nee Dohs are $400 a piece. (Yes, he said four-hundred dollars🙄.) “Dude, tiktok would shut me down for selling counterfeits AND it’s a felony to knowingly use a company’s trademark on goods that are not authorized.” Him: “let’s get that refund processed” Lesson learned as a new reseller: Know where your merchandise comes from and be confident it’s authentic. I feel like I definitely dodged a bullet here in 2 ways: 1: mitigated risk to my TikTok account 2. Learned who I will never do business with again. **Also, super big thanks to my friends here on X who alerted me to these issues and quite literally saved my business. 🙏🏻

Watching Instagram reels with my 7 year old son. Him: “Dad, that’s fake.” Me: “Thank you for pointing that out, son.”

Earlier this year I won this lot of sanding belts for $189 at auction. It was from a Career Technical School that got new equipment... and this was left over unused inventory. I knew nothing about this product or industry, but a little bit of research showed me that there was some value here... and for $189, I figured it was worth a shot. Fast forward to today... and I've made $997 in profit from eBay sales (after fees). And I still have a few boxes left! Pretty good return if ask me!

This is what $1500 in Squishy Dumpling and Nee Doh’s looks like (not very impressive!). I got them for $294. Over 80% off retail, and 57% off the normal wholesale price. I just priced checked at a local c-store: $16 Wholesale price: $6.95 My price: $2.95 per unit PLUS, a distributor that is excited about me being able to move his distressed inventory on a platform outside his normal distribution channels. The market is cooling on this product… but I really think it’s just the parents are cooling on it and don’t like the price (I’m one of them!😂). My kids told me this morning kids still love this. My middle school daughter told me a kid at school is trying to sell her a Squishy Dumpling for $18. I think I’m gonna send her to school with a few and have her sell them for $10. 😂 I have a lot of moms in my TikTok live shows. I plan to add these to kids-themed snack boxes that get over a certain price. A $16 perceived add on that cost me $2.95. Going live Sunday at 6pm Central. Would love for anybody you to follow my channel and see how this experiment works!

This is the most exciting 50 seconds of your year right here.

What an honor to join this team of incredible coaches in the Reseller Mastermind. I’m grateful to @ShannonJean for the opportunity and excited to step into this role! Reselling has become an incredibly rewarding outlet for me, and I’m especially passionate about helping people realize that you don’t have to become a full-time reseller to build something meaningful and profitable. My particular lane is helping people who want to build a recurring channel of profit through liquidation reselling, right out of their garage and in the margins of an already busy life. Maybe you have a 9–5, a family, a career you’re not looking to leave, or simply limited time. But you’d love to turn a few hours a week into an additional stream of income by learning how to source liquidation inventory, identify opportunities, sell it effectively, and keep the process manageable. That’s the reseller I’d love to help. If that sounds like you, I’d love to spend 15 minutes hearing what you’re trying to build and seeing if we’d be a good fit for coaching. Book a free 15-minute discovery call with me. No pressure. Let’s talk about what you could build in the margins.

My current playlist. Is this not the best era of country music?

The last several days, I’ve been trying to help someone who found himself in a serious mental health crisis with almost no support system around him. It meant responding to a call for help, sitting with him in a dark moment, getting him connected to crisis care, and then wrestling with what happens when the immediate crisis is over but the needs are still very real. It has reminded me of something that we all need to consider when it comes to handling people’s crises when they arrive at our doorstep. Sometimes a crisis is not by our hands, but it lands in our lap. We didn’t create the circumstances. We aren’t responsible for the decisions, broken relationships, systemic failures, or years of difficulty that brought someone to this particular moment. But now we know. Now this person is in front of us. Now their need has landed in our lap. And I don’t think, “I didn’t cause this,” is sufficient reason to look the other way. Love requires us to ask, “Now that this has landed in my lap, what does faithfulness require of me?” But there’s another question we have to ask too: Just because it landed in my lap, does that mean it belongs on my shoulders? Those are two very different things. Compassion does not require us to assume ownership of every crisis we encounter. We can care deeply. We can intervene when necessary. We can make phone calls, advocate, connect resources, give generously, walk alongside someone, and carry a portion of the burden without assuming responsibility for fixing everything. that’s the tension we have to learn to live in: Not by my hands. But in my lap. But also, not all on my shoulders. When someone’s crisis arrives at our doorstep, the question isn’t simply, “Is this my problem?” Nor is it, “How do I make this whole?” The better questions may be: What is mine to do? What is theirs to carry? What belongs in someone else’s hands? And what must ultimately be entrusted to God? The call is to faithfully carry what is mine, and faithfully release what isn’t. How do you decide what’s yours to carry when someone else’s crisis lands in your lap?

I love a good customer return sticker. Their taste preference gives me the opportunity to resell at a profit!

I’ve been reselling liquidated food from Costco on TikTok live auctions. Occasionally food will come in that is past the “best by” date. I never sell food that is past this date (even though it is usually still good), so I’m usually pretty bummed at the loss. But not this time! My kids will be singing my praises in the morning! 🙌🏻 I’ve already quality checked them and there ain’t nothing wrong with them, So we are keeping it for ourselves! 🤤 #famousamos

I don’t have an athletic bone in my body. So when my son is dominating on the flag football field… I can’t take any credit… but I sure am proud!

0% chance this goes viral. 🤷‍♂️
