I hear a lot of people refer to themselves as content creators. It’s not as “flashy” as influencer. As far as comparisons to others, I don’t typically feel that way anymore. I think this ability comes with age and life experiences. I watch (or listen really) to a lot of UA-cam content while I’m working but I mostly do that to pick up new tips and tricks and of course to hear BOLOs here and there. You always do this. This, I believe, is why your channel continues to grow. In sooooo many ways, I feel we are very like minded. Especially when you said “we are exactly where we are supposed to be right now”. I believe in this very strongly! ❤❤❤
Yes content creator. That more mellow🤣 as for the comparison. It’s so strange. I only do it in my online business. No where else. Seriously🤣 But it getting better! I’ve really had this trust majority of my life. Everything will turn out. ❤️
CONGRATS on your 10K milestone! I'm honored to be a part of your community, and each of our journies looks so different. So bask in the spotlight and enjoy yourself! Totally appreciate you, also I'm catching up on the videos, been so crazy busy lately, launching a website, and collaborating with some folks, so crazy time! (That is my milestone my website). Looking forward to a bins opening up not too far from me, looking forward to that making a difference in my business.
Thank you for mentioning sourcing items you actually like because I struggled with this when I first started because so many resellers said to source what sells not what you like because just because you don't like it doesn't mean someone else won't. And while that's true, I wasn't excited about selling it so oftentimes, it would just sit until I finally listed it. Now, I source what sells but also, only if I'm excited to sell it and this mindset has been game changing for me! (Which also ties into your next point of comparison. This video is fantastic, Tabs! Your content is so relatable and truly a breath of fresh air to realistic reselling.)
Congrats 🎉 and heck yes to celebrating wherever we are at! I find I plug along each day feeling like I’m not getting anywhere but at the end of the month I did my listing goal and have good sales, so yay!😊 It’s wise to take space when you need it AND I’m glad you came back to UA-cam after the summer! ❤
Congratulations on 10k!! 🎉 wanted to share I was feeling discouraged after my two slowest months over the summer in my journey of reselling for a year. I closed out September with my highest sales number ever!! Consistent listing and sourcing payed off!
I love how authentic you are Tabs and I think your humility and transparency is definitely what your followers love about you. Don’t hide your light. It might be a Canadian thing to diminish our Rockstar status. Congratulations on hitting that 10K 🎉 That’s a really big DEAL. Brava!!
Thank you so much!! I don’t ever want you guys to think everything is perfect in my world. We are all human, with similar struggles. I hope my content reaches tjose that need to hear it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tabs How about the title “Team Leader”? I so appreciate all of the info you so freely give us and I feel like I’m part of your group or team. Thank you for your realness and how you so selflessly share with us. It is so appreciated and I love the motivation you provide. 😊
Your videos have been so helpful, and that quote “comparison is the thief of joy” is my favourite. It’s so true in every part of life. My latest milestone is making as much with my reselling as I do with my other job. Congrats on 10k! Don’t forget to let us know how much you can make from youtube too.
I'm a pretty confident person and never think of others as competition or compare myself with anyone. They can compete with me, but I don't care unless they try to throw me under the bus (then they'd better watch out). The competition and comparison is always between me, myself and I. That is the recipe for success in your career, business and wherever you're striving to succeed. Love ya, Tabs!
Nancy it’s so strange in no other part of my life do I compare. Except UA-cam and ig(sometimes ig) I have to remind myself we are all on our own journeys❤️
Thank you Tabs always. So helpful and I love watching all of your videos. Can I ask you where you found your VA? Do you use one just for listing? Your listings you talked about and STR is remarkable! This us where I fall behind so would love any suggestions. TIA
I came on to ask a similar question so I hope it's ok if I piggy back onto yours! 😂 Tabs, I know you're not ready to go into detail about your VA yet. You did inspire me to use one, which has helped! I was wondering if she does all your listings or if you do some/certain ones?
I’m as a reseller am in a bad spot but I’m about to revamp everything I’m taking your good advice and putting it to work! I love most of the things I sell, but apparently others don’t and originally I learned all the wrong things from the wrong people so I’m having to just like what you said make changes and sell what sparks joy and keep on changing and evolving!!
@TabsMcCaffrey absolutely. Such a good reminder that our success and journeys are so different. Glad you realized. Go party and buy some vintage Tupperware! Haha
I sent 51 pieces to the real real including better, newer St. John, Dolce & Gabbana, NWT Versace, Vintage Oscar De La Renta among them. They listed them for nothing, and since they put everything on sale after 4 weeks, they practically gave my items away. I asked for my remaining items back, and they lost a $300 scarf, and my stuff came back like trash. I ended up selling everything myself for 3 times what they had them listed for, on Posh. I also bought 10 dresses from them for retail arbitrage, and EVERY single one had undisclosed flaws ie holes, pulls, stains, hems undone. I had to donate 6, sold 3 and 1 i gave to a friend. I will NEVER do the Real Real again. Hope your experience if you get a chance, is waayyyy better than mine.
I agree! I’ve taken items to RR twice including my own diamond necklace. They assured me that the necklace wouldn’t be discounted for a year and would require my approval when they wanted to discount it. Well…3 weeks after they listed it, they discounted it 30%. I was furious! It took months of emails and they finally gave me a portion of my money. Regarding the clothing, expect to get only a few dollars per item. They keep lowering the % you get on payouts.
As for the word "Influencer" which I've never liked, how about bellwether or maven? lol. I doubt you will use those but they're accurate descriptors. Congrats on 10,000 subs; that's a lot. I totally agree with you on selling what you love. I notice it majorly when I'm taking photos because I enjoy taking photos of the things I like and the others are drudgery. I'm pleased that I've made a lot of progress this week in listing, trying to do at least five every day. It definitely makes a difference in the traffic that comes through. Thanks for doing these videos and have a great weekend!
@@TabsMcCaffrey To me you’re an educator! Because you always teach me about new brands or more positive ways of thinking about my business you have easily become my favorite UA-camr🥰

Exactly! @@TabsMcCaffrey
Thank you Tabs always. So helpful and I love watching all of your videos.
Can I ask you where you found your VA? Do you use one just for listing? Your listings you talked about and STR is remarkable!
This us where I fall behind so would love any suggestions.
TIA

Tabs, I know you're not ready to go into detail about your VA yet. You did inspire me to use one, which has helped! I was wondering if she does all your listings or if you do some/certain ones?
I use upwork. It’s very straight forward. Easy to find one. Check out lots of profiles before you decide.
She does all my listings. I’m lazy now 🤣
Reseller educator!!
Making a shirt with this 🤣
Congrats on 10K!!!🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Thank you!! 😁
You’re a Resale Teacher and support system!
…and that is why I love watching your videos! You are incomparable!!! ❤
Aww thank you❤️ I’m truly just a mom that resells and shared her journey. Most of my neighbours have no idea what I do🤣
I’m as a reseller am in a bad spot but I’m about to revamp everything I’m taking your good advice and putting it to work!

Small changes over time will have a massive impact!
Safe travels to you!
Thank you❤️
ugh, I thought sales would have picked up by the year 3023. Spoiler alert, still slow!
BLOGGER☺️
Congrats on your milestone🎉
I think it’s really important to look at sell thur rate. Congrats on 10k 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes! Thank you! 🫶🏼❤️
Content creator? Poshmark reseller?
Haha yes! Content creator.
Omg 10000 is amazing! Comparing really is hard on souls. Congratulations girl!
It really is! The point I wanted to make was we all do, no matter how much success. And it can truly rob you❤️

Resell content educator! (Instead of influencer)
I like that!! And there’s nothing wrong with influencer… yo anyone that uses that. It just doesn’t resonate with me

Who is this Wendy that everyone talks about and why am I not following her!??? :)
Lol. Wendy is a reseller in ontario 🤣 she is so generous with info and brands she finds, more in private convo. But I have to shout her out❤️
