    Wow. This is great. I have been unemployed for almost 4 years now and its just recently when I said enough is enough I will not be a slave to this and keep crying that I am broke. I need to employ myself and create employment to others. I thank God I saw this video. You have challenged me. I have the dream, the goals and I am praying for wisdom to do the right thing and be the millionaire I want to be. I look forward to engage with you more and testify here in the next 1 year. God bless you

    I sell on eBay and am thinking to add Poshmark to my outlets. Your advice has energized me. I've started and ended three businesses with bank accounts, resale IDs, the works. I wanted something simpler. Ebay affords me that opportunity. I also have a top star rating for excellent over the top customer service and shipping.

    Thank you Olivia for this great vlog. However I have one question when I looked into your business plan. I see that shipping costs are very high and increases with the wight of the product you're shipping. How did you deal with this issue. Sometimes the products are themselves cheaper than the shipping rates.
    I see Amazon and some other regional companies have not so high shipping costs. I plan to use the normal postal service in my country and it is still too high. Please help me with this.

    Olivia, Olivia, where to start? I think you are illustrating a few principles with this video...
    1. Import/Export can be quite lucrative.
    2. Do not assume that the USA
    and China are the only markets where you can make money.
    Uganda is, like other developing countries, poor. Nonetheless, there are several hundred thousand people there with real purchasing power who are willing and able to buy your luxury goods.
    Since Uganda is an overlooked and under served market, there are tremendous opportunities for small business owners.

  • @brightpage1020

    Today, I can:
    - make Daisy chain jewelry
    - Work as a copywriter…
    - sell people’s used clothes on Poshmark…
    - develop my 4 y/o’s biz idea for a special local family fun center…
    - create online content…
    - make promos on Canva…
    - write and design newsletters for nonprofits…
    - create Momento books for nonprofits to sell or give as special thank you gifts to most supportive donors…
    - design shoes for the Metaverse… (ok that last one is crazy, but…)
    My issue is too many ideas… and too many children still at home and caring for the family at the same time. I’m ADHD. One of them is special needs - so focus is a challenge.
    But people do against bigger challenges so who am I to complain? What a waste of time better spent figuring out how to work it for us instead of moaning about it.
    If you can do it changing countries, more than once, I can do it having moved from one side of mine to another.
    Thank you for reminding me that waiting until we “get settled” may bankrupt us if I let it.
    My husband’s opportunity is awesome and he is working so hard at building side business. I want to show him I can contribute to double the effect of his hard work and make him proud of me.
    We are so grateful but I can show him that better these days with income than words.
    Today, as it stands I can sell copy / make marketing content. That’s the highest value skill I have under my belt already to offer this day. I can learn ChatGPT to get better at it or offer that expertise, too.
    Thank you. Your story is like the jolt of coffee that I need to take my eyes off what seem like barriers.
    Love that you share your challenges and how you dealt with them and that it wasn’t instant or easy.
    That you went ahead and did what was profitable even before the structures in place felt perfected, that you jumped on and let your customers lead the way with growth and development and learned to change by doing - to meet the market once you were in it already.
    So helpful. I really needed to hear this. Thank you.
