For as long as I can remember, I’ve never wanted to work a traditional job. I’ve never been keen on having a boss. I've never wanted to be forced to follow a schedule and be at work at a certain time. In the beginning of my work life, even though I knew I didn’t want a boss, that’s just what everyone in society did. It was the natural progression to become a grown up. Get a “normal”...
With the unexpected social distancing and quarantine, many Americans have a lot of time on their hands at home. This has given people the opportunity to downsize, simplify life, and declutter their homes. This also creates the opportunity to identify and sell unwanted items. It feels good to get rid of things we are no longer needing and making space - and we can make money in the process! Today we have an interview with one...
Have you ever thought about quitting your job to spend more time with your family? Have you wanted to homeschool your kids but couldn’t figure out how to bring in extra income? Today we have an awesome interview with Flipper University member Joy, who decided to quit her full-time job after one month into flipping in order to homeschool her son. The best part is she’s been able to learn to flip items and has already...

That's a 2,000% return on investment! I stand by my statement that I don't know where else you can get these kinds of returns! These two items were lawn mowers. They were not just any run-of-the mill mowers, but commercial stand on...
I always seem to be a little late with these monthly reports, but I guess this month we can blame a hurricane for throwing things off. This past month we totaled $5,260 in sales, and $4,729 in profit! Not one of our higher months like when we hit $12,220 flipping items for profit, but still not bad for being gone for 3 weeks of the month. (This is also when budgeting for a variable income comes...
It has officially been a year since I started doing this Flea Market flipping gig full time. Wow. What a year it's been! I have always loved being an eBay seller (for the past 20 years), but I wasn't sure if I could really support a family of 5 with it. In case you missed it, I quit my job in May last year to do our side hustle gig full time. I wish I could say...
