Transition to Wholesale

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our topic for today’s episode is very simple but so important: work less, earn more. That sounds like the dream, doesn’t it? But it doesn’t have to be a dream—I made it happen for myself, and you can make it happen too. Just buckle in, absorb my advice, and ask yourself the important questions. The reason this is on my mind right now is a sad one—recently, my bestie’s mom was diagnosed with a rare degenerative brain disease and had only about thirty days before she passed. And it reminded me that time is precious and fleeting, and it’s the only resource we can’t purchase more of, so we have to learn to use it the best way we can. Back when I was poor, in debt, and starting a business, I thought money was the answer to all my problems, and I was willing to give up my time to make sure my business was a success.

The first thing I did was start looking at ways I could shave time off my day, either by identifying time-sucks that I could let go of (like making the bed, which I really don’t care about!) or figuring out how to use my time more efficiently. Because if you can shave ten minutes off six things in your day, you’ve given yourself back a whole hour, and it won’t have cost you anything. The next thing was realizing that being an entrepreneur is the best way to buy your own time because you can create systems and processes that speed you up and make you more money in less time (for me, that was transitioning from retail arbitrage, which took up crazy amounts of time, to wholesale bundling, which gives me way more time freedom). And then the most important lesson I’ve learned is that we all have
