My BIGGEST Mistake Selling On eBay
Posted by: | CommentsMy BIGGEST mistake selling on eBay wasn’t just selling in the wrong market – it was actually the deadly “Boat Captain Syndrome”.
Let me explain…..
As you probably know by now, back in 2005 I was ready to just throw in the “white towel” and give up!
I was sick and tired of struggling on eBay working 7 days a week, 10, 15, and even 20 hours a day.
I was sacrificing everything trying to figure out “what to sell on eBay” that would make me and my family MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY so I could put a roof over our heads, food on the table, pay our bills and at least take my kids to get a happy meal every once in a while at McDonald’s.
But no matter what I sold - I was so determined to make it work that I suffered from what’s called the deadly “Boat Captain Syndrome” which means that no matter what I was selling on eBay – I was either:
- “emotionally attached” to it
- or, it was my “pride-n-joy”
- or, it was my “own idea”
- or, it was something that “I wanted” the market to buy
And because of that, when the “market” didn’t buy my stuff like I thought they should have – instead of me cutting it loose and moving on to better “markets”….. I sank with the ship TRYING to save it and make it work (BIG mistake).
Today (6 years later) life is a little bit different.
I don’t suffer from the deadly “Boat Captain Syndrome” anymore.
And the reason why is because I adopted a new belief 6 years ago that says…..
“It’s Okay To Let Things Go That Isn’t Working Because
I Have Nothing To Lose And Everything To Gain”
And guess what?
You don’t have to suffer from the deadly “Boat Captain Syndrome” anymore either!
It’s okay to let things go.
Please listen carefully…….
If what you’re currently selling on eBay isn’t making you MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY right now to put a roof over your head, food on the table and pay ALL of your bills with plenty of money left over to fulfill your dreams and live YOUR desired lifestyle – then abandon ship!
You DO NOT have to SINK to the BOTTOM of the ocean!
And the reason why is because there are too many outrageously profitable markets out there with pathetically weak competition that will ALLOW you to make MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY!
Here’s what I want you to do next….
If you’re anywhere near where I was and you’re tired of struggling to make MORE THAN ENOUGH MONEY – then do yourself a favor and go check out the Auction Market Blueprint. It’s just that simple!
Have a super great week selling on eBay!
