Howdy! Reader,

Well that is a WRAP!

2024 done and dusted.

I hope you have landed somewhere close to where you wanted to be this year.

If yes. WELL DONE.

If no. PROGRESS is PROGRESS. (take the lessons, learn and now you start again to do better)

Today, I want to reflect in summary of the growth I have seen - and this is simply to REMIND YOU of one thing.

When you put in consistent action, shut out the noise and keep showing up - you can make things possible!

Before we go any further... Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This will be the last newsletter for 2024 (we be back in January 2025)

I will be taking some time off from now till January. Business is time away. Im ready to rest, recover, plan and prepare!

🤷🏻‍♂️ Life & Thoughts

When we put in the work, we get the results.

No one else will make your dreams happen. The journey is yours, and the effort you put in is what will determine your outcome. This year proves that when you show up consistently, stay focused, and shut out the doubters, amazing things happen.

Yes, there will always be critics, skeptics, and those who don’t believe in your vision. But their doubts don’t define you—your actions do. Every sale, every milestone, every moment of progress is a reflection of your resilience and commitment.

Here is a SNAPSHOT of my 2024 wrapped up from a business perspective and the results on eBay alone. Of course, we are not done yet, and this does not include non eBay sales either.

2024: A Year of Growth, Progress, and Proving Doubters Wrong

This year has been nothing short of transformational, and the numbers speak for themselves:

• 4,113 buyers (up 17.6%)—with 464 repeat buyers making up nearly 58% of return business.
• 5,669 items sold, a 33% increase from the prior period.
• $269,809.34 in sales, an impressive 89.2% growth year-over-year. (just on eBay)
• Net Profits averaging: 17%
• Over 1,500kg of clothing re-homed, keeping pre-loved items in circulation and away from landfills.

Just to be clear - I am not here to share with you how to build your business. I am here sharing how I am building mine.

• this wont work for everyone
• I am doing this for the long term
• take this as a "inspiration" not a copy and paste
• do what you love and focus on being consistent

Getting here has taken a HUGE risk, a lot of work and plenty of rollercoasters.

Still with plenty of room for "better results" - and we start again in 2025 and see what we can do.
