Weekly Goals

Another week has passed and as usual I did not accomplish everything I set out to do. I spent a lot of this past week unplugged from the internet and the computer since it was my "vacation". By vacation I mean that I spent most days catching up on errands and tasks that needed done and maybe relaxed a couple hours here and there lol. I've just come to the conclusion that as a parent I will never have a relaxing vacation for at least another 18 years, but it was still nice to be home for a week.

I did manage to get another blog post written, and I have the pictures and outline for another to be written later this week. I also read some of the books/blogs that I found for some research, but again, I spent much time off my computer, so not a bunch. I did not watch any of the Amazon videos for sellers on Youtube, and I did not do a thing with Bonanaza. I did however do some more work with my FBA business, and it's really got me excited to move forward.

One of my days off I went to town 40 miles away and went shopping, mostly groceries, and I stopped in at the Kmart. Now, I don't really shop there much, mostly because it's on the opposite side of town from the rest of the stores I go to. This week I was enticed in because they were doubling coupons, clear up to doubling a $2 coupon to $4, and while I've never mentioned this before I am a "couponer". Please don't judge me by the show though if you've ever seen it! Most of us are actually quite sane and do not hoard ;) Long story short I found that their clearance toys were an extra 50% off. So I bought paid around $30 for $75 worth of toys. I also found one home decor item on clearance for $3.50. I spent some time entering the items into my inventory and comparing selling prices, and while my profit for most items is only around $3-$6 each it is a step forward and I'm learning. That was last week, so let's move on to this week.

Goals

1. Finish my research that's left from last week.
2. Getting some photos into some of my older posts on this blog.
3. One more blog post.
4. Enter in everything I have for Amazon's FBA
5. Create 5 Listings on Bonanza

Nothing to exciting, but a lot of this stuff is time consuming. I also found quite a few children's books lying around the house that we don't read that are basically new, so I'm going to add them to my Amazon FBA inventory. I don't expect a lot of profit, but it gets them out of my house and puts a little money in my pocket to buy more inventory. Especially with back to school and the holiday seasons starting it's time to start pushing myself to source more and more inventory and get stuff done!
