There is a LOT of great and free information out there for resellers on RU-vid and Instagram. But we don't talk about THIS, and it could be destroying us. I'd love to hear what you think about this topic in the comments below.

@abbiewitt9924 Год назад

Thank you for being so open and honest about this. I’m a full time reseller since September and it’s taken some time to get out of the toxic hustle culture. I schedule a whole week out of the month to do nothing but spending time with my kiddos and taking care of plants and the house and it’s wonderful! It doesn’t affect my sales at all. It’s ok to be away from the business.

@livstylerewind Год назад

Becky! Yes!! Just a couple mins in but boyy does this resonate. As amazing as the reselling community is.. it is still very much "hustle culture" which if that's what you love, that awesome. But it's just not my jam. As someone with chronic health issues & currently laid up for a couple months w/a broken ankle I'm just surviving right now💖

@mandyott3037 Год назад

Thank you for saying this! I’m not going to lie, I’ve really been struggling with what RU-vidrs to watch, what to believe, etc. I think it’s important to follow and take in influencers that really are you’re tribe and have the same or close to the same beliefs and models you have, otherwise it does become unnecessary noise. I think as a content consumer I walk away from big sellers on RU-vid and social media feeling like there’s a Key to the castle and you all are the only ones that have said Key so it’s hustle hustle to get it figured out. I made a commitment to myself at the beginning of this year just to maintain my business and only do/watch/take in things and people that are conducive to my business. No more BS, no more advice from people who have a new strategy every week to beat sales, beat the algorithm, blah, blah, blah… I hope everyone can take a step back, smell the roses and know it’s okay not to be perfect every day. ❤

@Tania_VolverVintage Год назад

Me too! I actually unfollowed some channels and I followed some new accounts. I dont know some people get too big to they point it's unrealistic. I truly enjoy watching people when they are at the start of their journey and I like following along.

@mandyott3037 Год назад

@@Tania_VolverVintage I get it! Without mentioning names, there is a reseller that is super hyper focused on the analytics of the business but not taking into account prices, trends and ever changing platforms. The advice given in my opinion by this reseller was trash and it’s misguiding to new resellers and can cloud us old dogs to the point where we will upheave our closets to match what they’re doing. It starts to feel like bs. The ones that dog posh and say they’re done but push out videos about how to make sales on posh all the sudden… it’s ridiculous. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have my top few I watch religiously because they align with me and my business, I have a group I watch for brands, I’ve deleted the crap RU-vidrs and then I have a pool of what I call hobby watches ( if I ever have time to do so.) 💕

@TheLaurieRo Год назад

Mandy, your post really resonated with me. I have been turned off by many of the hustle culture egos lately in the reselling community and had to make the tough decision to unfollow them for my own peace of mind.

@mandyott3037 Год назад

@@TheLaurieRo I completely understand. You’ll feel better for it I promise! Reselling is tough right now, the world is tough right now. Not all is lost. There’s still money to be made, I’m still making it! You just have to pivot, get creative, pull up you’re bootstraps and get to hustling! 💕

@MissPettigrewReview Год назад

This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing these memories. I love to always ask myself why am I making money? What do I plan to do with it. For security? I am safe in the shelter of the Most High. Enjoyment? The joy of the Lord is my strength. For my kids? They want me more than anything I could ever buy. For freedom? Well, then I don't want to be a slave to my business. And I could continue. Yes, I need money, we all do, but it's not my source. This video reminded me of this today and I am grateful!

@maggieposhes2477 Год назад

The reason why I got into reselling was so that I could take a break when I need to. I spent the majority of my career working in retail management where taking a break was near impossible. To me, no job is worth my mental or physical health or being able to spend time with loved ones. My heart goes out to you Becky. My mom has dementia and I know how deeply it hurts watching someone you love go through that. Sending hugs to you and your family.

@michaelabarnes7715 Год назад

This is a great topic. Thank you. I'd be interested to hear from a male re-seller on taking care of themselves and if they experience the same pressure and guilt.

@TJ-yv3kp Год назад

Thanks for this beautiful video. So sorry for your loss. Sending virtual hugs from Hoffman Estates, IL. Hustle culture is real in reselling/RU-vid community and US really. It's funny how you touched on being careful of what we consume on here and how some people aren't well. I recently found myself not watching as much content from some for this very reason.I found myself as a woman comparing myself to husband/wife resellers when I'm single with no help or family who respect my successful reselling business OR male resellers who have wives, in-laws and courses/membership $ to fall on so their perspective was jaded...I realized that as a mental health professional and reseller I had begun the dangerous comparison game...no more

@copperwarrior Год назад

Thank you for your comment. It really spoke to me. I am often hard on myself and do the same. I watched video on pallet liquidation/reselling and literally got frustrated. How can i get a pallet with no husband to help lift it? Then a dangerous path of what ifs & the ease i would have with help from a partner. A house with more space etc. I am single and raising kid in single parent household. I feel much better now limiting the contradictions of media & content. I also worked in mental health at a group home & psych unit. I knw God has a path for me

@TJ-yv3kp Год назад

@@copperwarrior Thank you my sister. I think this video verbalized what alot of us may feel or going through. Sending hugs & continued success for your business🥰

@OopThereItIs77777 Год назад

I’ve said this on my IG before…almost verbatim. I look at reselling as I look at my corporate positions; if I need a break, I’m gonna take it. If I don’t wanna do reseller stuff for a day because I wanna be lazy & don’t feel motivated, I do it because if I were at work, I’d have to manage my team regardless & get my work done regardless. It’s my job. if I ask for time off to recharge or a mental health day, I’m not asking, it’s a heads up out of courtesy. All of that to say, I will plan time off or not, but I treat my business as a real job. Im my own manager & I have to be able to manage myself well, We have to keep our health in check on ALL 3 planes while also approaching reselling as the real job that it is. Whether it’s full time or part time. Wonderful video, Becky. I am sorry you lost your father in law; he sounds like he was such a genuine soul ♥️

@fromchaosyogalenanovack695 Год назад

@Tania_VolverVintage Год назад

YES! Thank you for making this video. I've unfollowed a few reselling channels because their content is just a constant grind to the point that it's so off putting. I love reselling and will always resell at some scale but I dont want this to consume my life. It's not who I am or what I do full time, its just a part time gig for me! Ive felt guilty about my numbers and not keeping up with listing and I dont want to feel guilty about reselling anymore and just get back to just truly enjoying it wether I make 1 sale or 100.

@beckyparkco Год назад

4 minutes in, I felt you were reading my profile. I am that person yet I do not have tons of sales, It's my way of hiding from myself, people in general, and so much more. Since 2019 when I started because I needed to put down my beloved Sweetness, then to escape the pandemic.I'm not sure how to come out of this cave but the biz might just force me to face reality the way things are going. Thank you for being vulnerable and honest.🕉☯️☮

@FindsofYesterday Год назад

Well said Becky. Sorry for your loss. I don't know how you manage to go to work everyday, thrift for items, list your items, cross post, ship, AND record and edit videos! PLUS spend time with your family. My full time business is reselling and I try to do You Tube videos but that usually is done into the nighttime (family time) so it gets pushed off frequently. Koodos to you for getting all that done, and Yes, you need to take those days, weeks for yourself! For sure! Thanks for sharing.

@pricklypearcamera9151 Год назад

My goodness, so sorry to hear about your loss. I've been a reseller full time for 6 years and my wife just recovered from a 2 year breast cancer battle with Chemo, Radiation, and Surgery along the way. I lost my spark and fire for reselling up until quite recently. There's so much more to life than reselling, and stepping away for quite a while made me realize that the reason I love this job is because I can set my own schedule and be with the family at the drop of a hat. Keep up the good work Becky!

@beckyparkco Год назад

I'm so happy to hear that your wife has recovered and that after some time away, you've rekindled the joy that comes from reselling. I hope you're able to hold onto that in the coming years and that your wife stays in remission as well! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment

@TheLawNurse78 Год назад

I have had this conversation with myself recently. This is a side hustle for me. I'm doing it for extra income. I have a part time job too and I feel like sometimes I'm consumed with all the what ifs with reselling. Life is about people first! FYI, I'm a hospice nurse so I understand what your family went through. Prayers for your family during this time.

@beckyparkco Год назад

oh my - thank you for the hard work you do as a hospice nurse. But you're right - especially for us part-timers juggling full time jobs, families, etc - we need to show ourselves MUCH more grace than we do. Especially when we're in fields like nursing and education and taking on some of the burdens of those we work with. We can't forget to make time for ourselves and our loved ones. Thank you for your comment.

@BaKaQaZ Год назад

Thank you! This video is very much needed! Like you, I work full-time. I work at a jail, which is high stress. I don't get off until midnight (sometimes later) and last night I came home and had sold something and packaged it so my husband could take it to the post office today. After I got up and tended to morning chores, I noticed a label hanging out of my label printer. I immediately started to panic. I started texting my husband thinking he took the package without the label. I started to think the customer wouldn't get their item, I'd have to do a refund, and I'd get a bad feedback. After several minutes of scrambling in my brain how to fix the situation, I just happened to glance over at my scale and the package was still on the scale. Though it was a great sense of relief, it kind of surprised me how upset I got. I absolutely love reselling but it has consumed my life! My husband is a reseller too and it's all we do. We turn down invitations because of reselling. We have three dogs and I can't tell you how many times they lay around and sigh because we are ignoring them. Thank you for this video!

@thefrillyrocker6805 Год назад

I'm so very sorry about your father inlaw, thank you for sharing. Last year my husband found out he had cancer. Luckley I was full time in my reselling journey. Long story I had been with a job for 13 years and I learned from that job to spend the time with my family. As soon as I found out about my husbands cancer I spent half my summer preparing for what I needed to do , so in the fall when he started treatment I would be able to spend that time with him. Needless to say I didn't prepare enough, but I kept reminding myself my time with him is more important and everything would be okay.. Life is so short and I learned Grace and not to compare my journey to someone elses. Thank you again for your content.

@gailsch Год назад

So sorry for your loss. Part-Time and side hustle people do need different advice and mantras. And you are right that all of the reseller content out there creates a super awareness of the algorithms preference for consistency and all of the possible numbers. When reselling isn't your livelihood, you don't need these thoughts.

@rosepetalsupcycle Год назад

Spot on video. Nothing is more important than family and the memories created with them are our legacy, not things, not sales. The loss of a parent is devastating and life-altering.

Good for you that you recognized you were traveling into a unhealthy head space. Enjoy your life!

It is hard, as this is my sole income & I'm single and struggling, but busting my behind every day (except Sunday) I have learned how to tweak my time management although I never run out of work! lol...I'm very motivated, but have had to learn to step back a little and take care of my antique booth, visit with my Mother & spend time with other family & I do work on myself. I work out every morning before work & eat a nice dinner every night. I'm still overwhelmed, but it's getting better. I sleep peaceful at night :) .

Becky I’m so sorry about your father in law. I almost lost my dad at the end of 2021 and he was in and out of hospitals for about 8 months. I had to take care of my mom during that time and I was at my wits end. I’m a mom and a reseller so adding caregiver to that was overwhelming. Plus, I had 2 surgeries after my dad finally came home. It was almost impossible to balance helping them since my dad can’t drive or do a lot of things he could do before while being in pain myself. I wasn’t working hard at my business anymore because there simply wasn’t time or energy for that. I felt like a failure for sure because a lot of my confidence came from what my business brought to our household. I finally found a balance and am starting to get back there again. I feel like I’m able to take care of everyone while also taking care of me. We as women need to take care of ourselves better❤

Thank you for discussing this. I understand how it feels watching a family member have memory lapses and lose them slowly, it's a strange kind of pain. Keeping yourself and your loved ones your first priority is very important for times like this. We don't need to deserve our rest, we deserve to need rest. I just decided last night to take my first real break from making new listings. Even when I had a surgery a few months back, I took only a few days off, but there's been way too many things to handle lately. As you said, the dip in sales is well worth taking better care of myself for 2-4 weeks. So thanks for affirming the choice I've made

I've spent the last couple of days feeling badly about not having the mental capacity to list because my full time job has been taking up so much of my time. This is such a timely message :)

@diannemcgriff3811 Год назад

When I started reselling about 5 years ago, I honestly thought it was easier. I have had to reckon lately that many of the selling platforms are asking resellers to do more, i.e. list more, pay for promoted listings, etc; and items are getting fewer views even with all these efforts. Hard to maintain a work balance if you are a listing machine. Fast track to burnout.

@stardavis6618 Год назад

@@diannemcgriff3811 I agree!

@royc5936 Год назад

You are absolutely correct. I do this part time as a hobby because my wife and I love going to yardsales and such. We started last Oct and I feel we got to possessed with it after the first sales. We got caught up in the you have to list everyday mentality, we were buying just to buy. Now we have slowed down and been more selective about sourcing and slowed down the process, and it hasn't hurt sales at all. We only have 300 items listed but sells are consistent now, and we are enjoying the process. It was always a plan to sell after retirement in a couple years just to stay active.

Yes! I think re-examining your “why” helps you find more balance too. That’s great to hear!

@tbagger5211 Год назад

Agreeded I listen to some only Becky and one other one. I like Becky because I relate more to the part time hustle . Full time doesn’t relate to me since I work 40 plus hours . I think our grind is different

AMEN!! Too many folks perpetuating the guilt, pushing the fomo, and bragging and too many people looking for the "be all, end all" to guarantee a bit more freedom from horrendous jobs or situations. Again, AMEN for bringing it up and admitting to the bit of guilt you had towards spending time reselling. Now ... did you have any of those feelings towards your daily job?

@vanessasoto3819 Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to share your heart. My mom has dementia, and it's not easy to watch a person disappear. Like your father-in-law she has lucid moments, like the sun coming out from the clouds. I'm sorry that your family went through this. Hugs for all of you,

@danosaur129 Год назад

Really appreciate the candor and advice dispersed in your post. Nice to have someone vocalize the honest feelings in building and maintaining one's online business. Your honesty with personal events and frustrations in selling is extremely helpful. Your empathy shows through for the sellers and is great to see. Thank You.

I understand where you’re coming from. I lost my grandmother from Alzheimer’s in June 2022. It’s hard when it gets bad near the end. Lots of patience and lots of love is what is needed. I’m here for you Becky!

@pmed9326 Год назад

I’m so sorry for the loss of your father in law. Thank you for sharing. I’m a newer reseller and watch lots of RU-vid videos as a way to learn. This was perfect timing for me to watch. I have been beating myself up and feeling like I’m failing. Messages we get are only pick up items that will sell higher profit margins, list everyday and how and the algorithms. I’m having a hard time with sourcing quality items as now I’m being picky but not having enough to list to get where I feel I need to be. Still only have less than 200 items. Sales are so slow lately. I’m barely making any money. I’m fortunate that I do have a spouse with a good job but I really need to pick up some of our expenses. I do find myself on my phone constantly. Stresses me out. I started this to have more freedom with my time and find it’s consuming me. I’m a woman of faith and been feeling bad that even that part of my life is being affected. In need to give myself grace and do my best and stop stressing. As we get older we do experience more loss in our lives. Needed this reminder life is short and precious. Thank you and you are my favorite and so relatable. ❤

I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing this very vulnerable part of yourself. I think to often were so focused on hustle that we forget that the stack of packages isn't going to be what people remember is how we made them feel.

@lisacucinotta4477 Год назад

I needed this today. Thank you so much for always keeping it real. I really get so much out of all your videos but this one hit hard. ❤️ Sorry for you loss, your father in law sounds like he was a lovely man.

@teche6989 Год назад

Thank you for sharing such personal info, please take care. After the pandemic and now working full-time I’ve accumulated over 100 items to sell, and now I have to find out how to sell them all online. I hope I can successfully accomplish this task. I’m sending my best to you and your family. Tlc

@tatianahemrich6789 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your memories with us. I’m sorry for your loss, and am sending prayers to all of you. Just said this tonight to my husband to give people in your life grace if they aren’t giving you what you think they should. We are all on our own journey, and we don’t always know what others are going through. But, we need to give ourselves grace as well. It is the people that surround us that matter, not the material items.

So many things you said resonated with me, Becky, as I am on the couch, forcoing myself to take a break because me and my family have had a lot going on these past few weeks, and I just need to recharge. You are so loved by this community! Thank you for reminding us to take care of ourselves ❤

@moneymovejenn Год назад

I am so sorry about your families loss. You are strong for speaking on this subject because in one way or another, everyone deals with struggle and sometimes are afraid to take a break because it will cause a wave in their business. But at the end of the day though, we have a to remember what matters most and this video does just that, so thank you.

@mercedesbee6582 Год назад

Tears to my eyes. So sorry for your loss and the arduous path left behind with that disease. Very valuable thoughts. When I'm on the screen so much, I turn around and realize that my kids won't be this little forever. Embrace today and your loved ones! Thank you.

I was selling as a side hobby for a few years and I had to stop last summer because I moved. The post offices in my new location have shorter hours, so I'm basically working the entire time they are open lol except for my days off. I've basically determined that it's just not possible to be a reseller for a while and I am actually loving not having to do all of the extra work. I think at this point I'd consider doing it again maybe if my job situation changed or if I had something especially good to sell, but... might end up taking a permanent break. And maybe that's what I need. This coincided with me getting a promotion at work last June which means maybe side income isn't as important, but I've also just been diagnosed with PCOS and want more down time. It's okay to have a personal life and take time for yourself. You can't live in stress all the time.

Becky, thank you so much for sharing this. I had to sit back and think after this video before I could even comment,!your words really humbled me and made me realize that I’m doing too much and I need to back away just a little bit and enjoy life. I also want to say I hope that your husband and your family finds peace during this time ♥️

@angelapartyflips5498 Год назад

Thank you for this video! My brother who is only 29 had a near fatal accident this past summer and is now disabled for the rest of his life. I completely lost all momentum this summer and my business tanked. I’m so glad to be back and have given myself Grace. I hope you give yourself a break too. I admire you and I’m a better reseller because of you. Thank you for your generous spirit and wealth of knowledge. Here with you, praying for your family!

@sherryjones201 Год назад

I am so sorry for your loss, Becky. I want you to know that while watching this video, I felt as though you were speaking directly to me. My younger sister is currently battling cancer. I have been doing what I can in my "spare time" to help with her dr visits, chemo, radiation, etc. She is now at a point where they have stabilized the cancer in her liver as well as it can be. She is thinking of stopping all treatment. I had already decided to take a stepback from my daily hustle just so I can spend as much time with her as possible while I still have her here, but watching this video helps me so much too know I am making the best decision and one I will never regret. Thank you so much. God Bless you.

@darylsdigest1086 Год назад

Becky ten years ago I sat in the office of a chief neurologist and heard the diagnosis of early onset of dementia. I was 49. My world was rocked. What you just explained about your father in law is my biggest fear. I know the day is coming when I won't recognize my boys. The reality of that sucks. My journey in reselling started from watching RU-vid resellers. I quickly learned I couldn't run my business like most. I couldn't remember a great brand of clothes from a cheap brand. But even worse before dementia I had NO fashion sense. My store has evolved many different times. Now I am closing in on 1800 different items that no one wants to purchase. LoL. I want to take your advice a little further down life's highway. Appreciate what you have today. Don't worry about future problems. I guarandamntee the issue that drops you will be something so far from what you have worried about. Thanks for sharing that personal message

@dls751 Год назад

I am struggling mentally with this as well, just need to be kinder to myself. I have been beating myself up that I did not meet my goals for your accountability group. I am realizing in 2023 I need to actually set lower more attainable goals and be more careful sourcing so I have more time to focus on my family. Praying for you and your family in this season. Thank you for being so open and honest ❤️ I needed to hear this today.

@EatPlayLoveCO Год назад

Thanks Becky, this video hits home in many ways with what I am currently going through with a family member! I think it's so hard to take a break from checking in on my reselling business, but sometimes it's so necessary considering the amount of overwhelm I've experienced in my personal life.

@marrilynchang Год назад

Hi Becky. So sorry for your loss. Girl I relate to you more than I can say. You are the real thing!!! I wish for you and your family the strength you need during this time of grief. I also wish you every success and I am convinced you will continue to prosper. Not being creepy but I hope to meet you someday at one of those reseller get-together 😌 Have a super Sunday 🙏

@yolandarouser1413 Год назад

Ohhhh how I know this story.... the EXACT story except it was my dad. I wasn't reselling at the time, but I did take off from my job. I was able to be with him on the day before he transitioned and I'm so thankful to God that I had that time. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. God bless you with the strength and peace to get through this painful time.

I'm so sorry for your loss Becky and family. I have been following you since the beginning (thats when I started too), you helped me in my own reselling journey. Now without even knowing, you have helped me on my own personal journey with my grandma who has dementia and has lost her ability to speak due to a stroke. Since the beginning you have spoken so eloquently and poured out to your viewers/supporters from a place a genuine love. Thank you Becky for you; you are very much appreciated. I will keep you and your family in my prayers through this very difficult time.

Thank you for such a heartfelt video. I feel many of us really needed to hear this. I know I’ve been stressing out about my upcoming surgery this week and what would it do to my business. After seeing this, guess what, it’s going on vacation mode. Thanks Becky. My sincere condolences to your husband and the entire family. Xo
