Exactly 10 years ago today, I was sitting on my dorm room bed getting ready to graduate my junior year of college debating whether or not to sign up for Poshmark or Ebay. As you probably deduced from the title of this post, I decided to dabble into hobby reselling on Poshmark; Now 10 years later, I am a full-time reseller on the app. Today, I am proudly celebrating my 10 year Poshiversary and I wanted to share some reflections on my decade of selling on the Poshmark app.
If you have been following me for a while now, then you know that I started my journey as a hobby reseller while I was in college. Reselling was a great way for me to make extra money on items that I was no longer using at the time. As I progressed through my academic years, I continued to be a hobby reseller as I found enjoyment in dabbling in reselling activities. After life took me in a different direction than I anticipated, I started to pursue reselling more seriously and transitioned into being a part-time reseller while working full-time corporate jobs. In September of 2020, I got married, moved to Florida, and transitioned into full-time reselling and have been a full-time reseller ever since.
The past 10 years of reselling have been filled with many highs and lows. Some highs include: (1) Successfully transitioning from a hobby reseller to a part-time reseller to a full-time reseller, (2) Meeting some amazing people who have helped and inspired me on my reselling journey, and (3) Learning not only how to run a business but also learning about what I am personally capable of. There have also been some lows on my journey including: (1) Struggling with how to navigate running a business while also juggling personal matters, (2) Learning how to time manage while working a full-time corporate job, and (3) Figuring out seasonality in my business and learning how to manage my money to pay all of my expenses (More on that HERE).
Reselling is something that I plan on pursuing as a career for the foreseeable future as it has provided me with so many amazing opportunities over the past 10 years. I am really looking forward to seeing what the next 10 years has in store for me and my business!
Before I go, I just wanted to say that even when things might seem challenging or impossible, if you work hard, believe in yourself, and have a passion towards something, anything is possible. I never in million years thought that this would be a plausible career path for myself but I am beyond grateful that I am on this path.
