honestly probably the best thing that happened to me in my life

Was being overlooked and undervalued at my job.

I always worked hard and hardly ever took a day off. Had a day of the week where I would work 2 to 11pm and I still get to work the next day early at 9 am. Never complained. However, they didn't value me. I always was asked for more at my job. Had people think I wasn't doing anything. Just waiting for people to hand me more work to do. The employers never appreciated all the extra work i did. Overlooked for promotions and I was working with millions of dollars meanwhile I was getting chump change. I was the only one who could handled the contracts that were in Spanish and Portuguese but nothing. They give me a 1 dollar raise like it was a big deal.

I wrote all that just to say start a legitimate side hustle or find other ways to make legal money. relying on one source of income is just not worth it. At anytime the company can go down. Also because they don't like you or you aren't apart of their circle. You will be one of the first to be laid off. Just remember, One person's trash is another person's treasure.

It's been seven years, since I started this crazy life of owning a business. I made money and I lost alot. Had times I couldn't sleep because I had no idea how I could pay rent. Other times I made so much I thought i was unstoppable. It was all worth it in the end. Got to see the world. Live life ln my own terms. Can't believe I'm going to be 30 in a few months. I would never look back to work for someone else.

You're kinda an inspiration, tbh I've been trying to get into stuff like this but I'm really slow at learning more the ropes 😩

@Fishy only thing I learned is that you can get stuck in the phase of learning and no action. Where just keep trying to learn but do nothing. I remember you said you were doing Amazon. I haven't done this in a while but there's this app that you can scan and it tells you how much you can sell something on Amazon or eBay. Going to garage sales can be a gold mine. Hopefully that helps. I know you didn't ask but 😆 I can't help myself from trying.

@empanadas I actually haven't started Amazon yet 😶

My main focus at the moment is print on demand,
And in my spare time I'm figuring out things like Amazon and AliExpress tos, privacy, figuring out what I need, packaging, shipping etc

I wanna try dropshipping but I'm starting to wonder if that is an oversaturated market?

Oooh, this sounds cool,

Do you have the name of the app?
