Keep Trying

In business I keep trying and as an eBay Consultant one of the questions I am often asked is why does one person succeed and another person fail in business, or why is that person more successful than that person. Now before we get into the main part of this article I know there are loads of different factors, that can govern one persons success over another person, but if you take a look back in history and then to modern day business people one thing that is common is they keep trying.

For example do you think Thomas Edison invented the light bulb the first time round, no it took him and his team of people many many tries until he got it right. But did he stop there, no he kept on improving the light bulb and today many years later people are still improving on his invention. Each day they keep trying to make it better and safer.

If we look at some of the modern day inventers and business people (Steve Jobs – Apple, Richard Branson – Virgin Group, Google) these people do not stand still they keep trying to find something better and to improve on what they got. Way back when Steve Jobs put together the first Apple computer he and his team just kept on trying and improving. Even today with Steve Jobs no longer part of Apple his dream and vision for the company keeps them focused and keeps them trying for newer and better gadgets. His passion has built Apple into a multi billion dollar company.

Google is another example, they keep on trying and by trying they improve on search and today they are the leading search company on the planet. Going away from the computer world we see Richard Branson here is a man who lives each day with a passion for business and trying new things and new businesses. Some work and others do not work, but does he let this get him down ? No of course not those businesses that fail he will look and see what he can learn and next time build a bigger and better business.

The same goes for your eBay business, each day you need to keep trying new ideas, try new keywords, a different supplier, and the list goes on and on. Your eBay business is no different from any other business to be a success you need to keep trying new ideas each day, some will work others will not, but it is your reaction to the ones that do not work. You need to get up brush yourself down and try again and each time this happens you need to do the same.

Never Judge A Book By It’s Cover

In today’s post I want to go away from talking full on business, but at the same time this applies to all out businesses and products that we sell or are looking to sell. Never Judge A Book By It’s Cover.  How many times have we said this or have it said to us about us or someone else. This is so true. In today’s world we are often too busy to get to know a person, a client or get to know more about a product we are thinking of selling, this is so sad. Too often in this fast paced world we glance at a new client or a new product and on first looks we say no. But I want you to stop right there and next time you are talking to someone or about to say no to a product by just glancing at the box, I want you to take some time out and get to know them a bit more.

Before we go any further I want you to take 8 minutes of your time and just watch this video………….near the beginning the young girl says the world, you should never judge a book by it’s cover and you need to get to know them more.

Please get to know your clients, customers and new products, and never ever just glance at the person or the box and say no, without getting to know them more, you never know what you might be missing and you could be losing a diamond.

Never Give Up

There are times in life when we have been knocked to the floor just once too much. There are times when we think why, me, why us. To help people who are going through one of these spells, watch, listen, read and then get up, and take action.

I guess you will have heard the phrase “Finger On The Pulse“. People use this term when they are talking about life, business, or what is happening. But today I want to talk about the phrase “Finger On The Pulse” in relation to your eBay business. All too often when we are looking for a new product to sell on eBay we just take a look at what the local Cash and Carry has (or where ever you source your products from) and go and buy a few or a pallet load. Now while mostly this can work out OK, there is a way to to source products that people are looking for and are doing searches for right now on eBay.

I am talking about eBay Pulse. eBay Pulse is very unique in the way it gives you the data. Unlike many research tools eBay Pulse, pulls it’s data from the search that are happening right now on eBay sites across the world. (In fact each eBay country has it’s own eBay Pulse and the data is different in each country).

When you first begin to use eBay Pulse to do your research you are best to stick with the country where you list, and once you are used to using it, then branch out into other countries where you wish to sell. But once you have used it, is is the same the eBay world over.

To help you understand eBay pulse better I have included a video by a good friend of mine Amanda O’ Brien. Amanda is a powerseller and sells on eBay on a daily basis so she knows what works and what does not work.

Always Give Thanks

I guess lime most people we all look forward to a new day, week, month or year. We have been going through a very good spell, our sales are up, we have been able to source some wonderful items to list, people are talking to you, and there are no cross words with anyone. You could say life is good. But then we wake up one morning and from the time you open your eyes to you go to bed everything seems to be going wrong. Orders do not turn up, you get bad feedback, and those people who were your best friends seem to have dropped you for a new set of friends. You look at your life and say “I have done nothing different what has gone wrong” – Well it could be Life. You see in life we have good spells and bad spells. But it is how we re-act to the bad spells is what matters.

When “Bad” stuff happens we should not lash out at people, or when we get a return, we should not take it personally, but we should say “Ok,I have had a bad spell, So what and move forward and not dwell on the bad hours or days in our lives. Yes we may go through long spells on a down period, but it is how we react, that makes us grow. We need to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and get on. Yes we may fall over loads of times, we need to pick ourselves up and watch our steps. Check our roadmap for ourlives and see if we need to pick another route, a route with less stones in it to trip us up. But even when we trip up and fall down we need to say what have a learnt from that fall and how can I make a difference from what I learnt when I got back up.

And no matter what if we have had a good day or a bad day we need to give thanks to those around us, to those who support us when we feel down and to those who give us a smile or a phone call. More important we need to say Thanks to God, for the wonderful day, we have had, for the air we breathe and the birds in the air. We need to thank Him for the clothes on our backs, the internet we use day in and day out to make a living. Just a Simple thanks will do, but it will make all the difference.
