The process or the results?

Short summary;

Exhausted resources already around me. (selling things for friends/family, taking my percentage on each item), then mapped out wealthy neighbourhoods, created flyers, delivered those flyers, sold rich people's crap, took my percentage, banked it.

The cool thing about the wealthy (generalization) is that they know and seek out ways to outsource any and all 'low priority' tasks.

Example: Drive around a middle class/lower middle class neighbourhood on a nice day and you'll see homeowners outside mowing their lawns. Drive down an upper middle class or wealthy neighbourhood and you'll see crews tending to the lawn/gardens.

It's not so much a result of being 'privileged' or whatever, more to do with the understanding of the value of time... at least that's my impression haha. Of course if you enjoy the task then you'd be doing it, but why do something you don't want to do, if you have the resources to hire professionals?

Same concept with the wealthy people I dealt with. Of course they could list all of their unwanted stuff online... but why not go golfing, sailing, drag racing, (or whatever upper class old folks do lol) and get other people to sell their crap for them.

Didn't make much, maybe a few thousand in a month or two of doing that, but it got me to my goal at the time.
did you sell all your those shoes?
