A good friend sent me a text with these words in it about a week ago and this simple message gave me the most jarring realization.... as much work as I'm doing to expand and live fully, I still don't celebrate myself. I still critique my every breath looking for opportunities for growth. I can celebrate the most mundane things in others but me? Nah, never good enough. But these five words are helping me tie together all that I'm doing and hope to be. Posting this at the start of this blog as a mile marker for myself. Big things are coming and I'm starting the celebration now! I'm sharing this because I know I'm not the only one. #ImposterSyndrome is REAL. Be your biggest cheerleader! You are the star player! #untitledpeace #wednesdaywords #fivewordstory #instablogit #milemarker #impostersyndromeisreal #dailygratitude #motivationalmemes https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Wh5fYFBHd/?igshid=yf0ti5m6nv5q

It's been an interesting journey to understanding this concept, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. Throughout my life I've struggled with doing something just for the experience or the sake of it versus having a rhyme and a reason for every decision. I was surprised when I looked up one day and realized I was paralyzed from doing ANYTHING beyond the bare necessities. That ain't living. Here's to catching some big fish, or at least a big story to show for the trip. Reposted from @meraki_naturalhair - #sundayinspiration ⠀ ⠀ As you do the work to fulfill your purpose, remember to stay present. The journey is the most important part of the process. So bait your line, cast it, and breathe. You'll get that fish 😉⠀ - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/B69MxtTn9ln/?igshid=motenykiv36s

I was simply trying to capture the moment I made my first sale... But the way the setting sun showed off in this pic along with the message makes it feels like the moment goes deeper. Any chance at another chance is a beautiful new day. #mondayreminder #hellobeautiful #poshmarklife #poshmarkseller https://www.instagram.com/p/B6-wlGEneqq/?igshid=13x07boc61638

I had an appointment today. I didn't make it out the door in time. I didn't let that ruin my day like I would have in the past. #selftalkmatters Almost by habit I found myself in my newest happy place. For the first time I actually felt connected to this city I'd moved to three years ago. I think I can give credit to going a week strong with @adrienelouise and #yogawithadrienehome Everything has its season and reason. The thing that brought me to Baltimore no longer serves me. Today I give gratitude for the opportunities that present themselves and the empowerment to choose what deserves my energy. #untitledpeace #teaandseasons #newsecretstea #sipresponsibly #mybmore #youcantpourfromanemptycup #pouringfrommysaucer (at New Secrets Tea) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7EXID8HhOc/?igshid=dmeqi0qsp2gy

This is too real. Gotta wake up everyday and DO THE WORK. This was probably my biggest reality check of 2019. Like, sis, your ideas are cute and you know all the best words but what are you doing? You're miserable, but what changes have you made? Are you consistent? 🙃 I'm so pumped I finally have some answers and know how to find more! I started this page to share with you and encourage other #dreamers.

✨how to get the most out of your sales✨

This works for any online sales platform such as eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Vinted, etc!

Strategy One — Start high, go low!

With this strategy you’ll need a popular item such as a VS Pink Sherpa quarter zip that’s in great used condition or like new. With this item you’ve probably bought it for about $80, used it, the color sold out, and now you’re going to price it at $20-$30 more than you want and you’re going to say “Feel free to make a reasonable offer”. So say you want $70 for this sherpa — price it at $95.

With this exact strategy, people will really want this item, and you’ll likely get around 20-80 likes for it. When people see all of these likes, they’re going to get nervous that someone is going to buy it at its actual price as it’s clearly in high demand and the quantity of these items are already limited, so they’re going to make a very serious and reasonable offer. Say they offer $80, $15 less than your asking price, when you really wanted $70— that’s an extra $10 you’ve earned just through strategy! Accept their offer if it’s the highest one, and you’ll end up with a very happy customer and they’ll likely rate you well for such a “great deal”. But keep in mind that this strategy only works with popular, rare, or limited quantity items that are in great to like new condition; you can’t do this with Hollister jeans or generic makeup items.

Strategy Two— Start low, go high!

My favorite thing to do with an item I️ am taking a chance on popularity is to price it $5 lower than I️ really want for it. So say I️ want $20 for a rare vintage Nike sweatshirt but it looks pretty generic. I’m going to need something extra to grab attention for this item since it seems so “boring” as a solid blue sweatshirt. What I’ll do is price it at $15— keep in mind that you must be willing to take a risk for this. If someone buys it fast, you’ve lost your profit. You can always cancel, but I️ find that to be rude as a buyer if you do have the item. But in most cases I’ve started it at $15— people will likely lowball you and offer $10 or whatever, ignore them. When you get 3 likes, raise it to $20, your wanted price. Now you’ve got attention for the item, so if you get $20, you’ll be happy— but people are going to keep liking your item because it’s going to raise in trend and popularity on the site. Now raise it to $25, then $30— and if people still don’t buy it, raise it to $40, etc— THEN you’re going to implement the “start high, go low” method. Say “make me a reasonable offer”— and with time, they’ll offer maybe $35 because it’s a popular and rare item now and you’ll get $15 more than you started with.

These are just my two favorites to use and they’ve earned me a lot of extra money! ✨
