being an introvert and being uncomfortable talking to people. I felt that. in my line of work being a nurse I must always force myself to be the opposite. In the future I would also want to own a secondhand bookshop/ cafe. binging on all your videos. new subscriber here! keep safe! 😘😷
I can definitely relate to you both. I am currently working a medical receptionist (not by choice, only doing it to make money. Already on the verge of quitting once a job reaches out that aligns more with my interests. I honestly do not like this field. It isn't for me. Most people are constantly on the go to the point where they let it ruin their whole mood. I never knew at work you are supposed to bring your personal problems in there. But apparently the medical field is the worst at it. Lol I am chill ambivert and being in people's personal business is not something I thrive on. I like being chill and just talking about books,media, and good vibes lol. So yeah, it only makes sense for me to at least my own book and media store. I wish you both success with your journeys! Great video btw!
I see so much of you in myself. I just had this idea of owning a bookstore come to me, and it's the first idea that felt almost natural in a very long, wary time. Looking into myself and why I have felt so terrible for years, and finding that it's because I have no self-fulfillment entering my life. Your mindset and ideas are incredible. I know you will go far!
you have seriously inspired me and opened my eyes. i've been thinking about running my own bookshop for years but could never figure out how to do it in a way that was sustainable and still felt friendly and personable/familiar. my biggest mental struggle was being able to get books out. trying to decide between dropshipping books or having a limited stock or just selling book accessories (bookmarks, book covers, stickers, baggies, etc) but you made it all so mentally simple for me. thank you for lighting the fire under my ass again. this was a great video. i hope you continue to grow and prosper.
It has been a challenge honestly. There are times where I get a lot of sales. Other times, I get none and I always want to quit then, but I just keep going because I know it’s going to pay off one day 🤍
I’m so glad I found this video. I’ve been thinking about owning a small bookstore and start selling some of my books. This gave e the boost to put those plans into action. Thanks so much and I can’t wait to see your journey.
I’ve just binged watched all your videos & I love your content so much. Your energy is so warm & calm. You’re living the dream, I can’t wait to hear about your future successes with your bookstore💜
Okay I'm going through all of your videos right now and I love them so much! It's so cool to hear about this adventure and I wish you all the success in the world. I'm hoping that at some distant point in the future, when traveling is possible again and when you might have a physical space, I can visit your store if I'm in the area and shop a book or two 💕
hi, i'm looking forward to be a bookstore owner as well. i just have a question, i'm wondering where do you get the supplies for books? is it from a middleman? or direct from publishers? Thanks!
I am so glad I found your channel! I just followed you on IG. I'm a new proofreader and copy-editor and I'm so happy that I'm finally returning to my love of books. Thanks for this amazing content , and I hope to follow in your footsteps and open my own cozy little bookshop someday :)
Loved learning more about you and your store! If you’re willing and able, it’d be so cool to see you vlog the set up of your storefront when you get it. Also, would you be able to post your website and Instagram in the description too so it’s easier to find?
So cool to hear about your journey!! I'm moving to Ithaca in September so I hope you're still in the area and might be opening a storefront a few months after that. :)
I would love to own a book shop but in the town I live in, there no where big enough for size I want. I’m 18 so i still have a long way to go before I get there, do you have any advice to help me
I'm an INFP, and it's a dream of mine as well. I have other hobbies and associated dreams though, like gardening, making signs on thick wood, pet sitting, and I would like my own hobby farm.
