00:00 What does your business look like today with regards to like monthly revenue and profit? 10 [music] 20ishk maybe. We actually crossed like six figures which is pretty cool. Okay. So then after 15 hours of combined work you make 3,000 to 5,000 in net profit [music] which is like 400 500 bucks an hour from your first deal. Yeah. There's so many opportunities like this out there.
00:19 You didn't even take delivery of them. No, we literally did nothing. That's incredible. This is like your big inflection point, right? You're like, "Okay, now we're in the big leagues. [music] Let's do more of that." Exactly. After that, I was hooked. I mean, it's just crazy that like you go and buy an item and then the next day it's sold. I put up a listing on Marketplace and I get messages like 20 messages a day and you're in the middle of nowhere.
00:35 Yeah. Make them come to you. Exactly. Anyone [music] in the world could do that for profit and should. Yeah. Right. I started my reselling journey [music] when I was 15 years old. I'm guaranteeing you you have 500 to 5,000 worth of stuff just laying around your house. Are [music] you selling VCRs? Yes. $100 for a VCR? Yeah. Cuz people think they're worthless just like you think.
00:54 I just wrote an article a year or two ago that like the last VCR manufacturer went out of business. Yeah. Nobody makes them anymore. So there's so much demand. What is this world? It's supply [music] and demand. There's no more supply. So the demand goes up. Mhm. Exactly. Holy crap. Same with camcorders. Nobody makes them anymore. Same with digital cameras.
01:11 Li sold six time today for $300. Another brand called Jabra. Those sell really good. Dell docking stations. A lot of times like thrift stores [music] just think they're cords and they'll throw them in a cord bucket for a dollar and they sell for like 60 bucks on eBay. So I've found so many of those. M also cameras like digital cameras, DSLRs, film cameras.
01:27 A lot of people sell those at yard sales for like a dollar cuz they think they're worthless. I think the biggest takeaway [music] just on this even outside of reselling, there's so much money in the world. No matter where you are, who you are, you don't have an [music] excuse. If you want to get out there and you want to make money outside of a 9 to5, outside of a boss, you just got to put in the work and you can do it.
01:41 I hopped in my truck and started door dashing. Dude, I was making 30 bucks an hour. 30 bucks an hour and I was having a blast. Like [music] there are no excuses. There's just there are none. I'm sorry. The American dream is not dead yet. It is more alive than it's ever been. Yeah. What's the playbook? Someone watching this, whether they're 15 years old or 95 years old, how can they go from, you know, $0 to 5,000 a month, 10,000 a month? Yeah, I would say it's the easiest playbook ever.
