If you are new to eBay, I want you to see why it's so important that you start to think of your product sales on eBay as a business and not a hobby!
You see guys when you do this, you will be more prepared to build on it, and put the work in that it will take to make you a success on eBay and beyond, and part of this mindset involves not just being able to handle success, but believe it or not how to handle being unsuccessful!
Setting up an Ebay Business successfully Starts with the Acceptance of Failure!
You are probably thinking right now but john what are you talking about I only want success or what's the point of all this?
And that's a good question. You've got to realize that, during all the trial periods you undertake from your first product line, and any lines you introduce thereafter. You will have a degree of failure on some occasion during these trial periods, there are no two ways about that.
One of the best ways to combat failure and learn from it, is to actually emphasize this on a mind map, that its job is to give you a visual overview, which in turn will instill a plan of action in your mind, and what to do if your efforts lead to failure, you can catalogue the area of failure on an updated version of your mind map for your next batch of trial products, so you know not to repeat that part of the process!
Now, back to taking failure onboard during the trial periods of your chosen niche products, the reason why you need to accept failure when it comes, and it will at times, is you will be prepared to look at it, and think yeah ok a lost a little money, and it was no starter. I'll just simply anty up to start over, and the cycle begins again move on to the next niche product, without the doom and gloom attitude that causes so many new starters to eBay to just give up the ghost so to speak and never return again as they become a disillusioned seller.
On the other hand, you keep the momentum going and introduce another product and so on and so on until you land that all important regular sellers.
You now have your rock solid foundation built for your eBay business, to build upon!
Nothing and I mean nothing will stop you washing, rinsing and repeating the process, until down the line you will have your eBay store hosting a portfolio of categories and within them categories all your regular micro niche product lines!
However, do not forget it all starts with the acceptance of failure. You will become immune to it, if you can get the right mindset on your eBay business journey, it will even become your second nature to accept failure when it raises it's ugly head!
Never forget this, and never give up on your dream and goal to make your eBay business a reality!
So like I said at the start, if you are new to ebay, you can now see why setting up an eBay business successfully, starts with the acceptance of failure!
