entrepreneur but I'm Brandi of www.BlogginBrandi.com
for those of you that do not know me I help people build their businesses and
their brands and I share all of my tips and tricks on YouTube and social media
and today I get so many questions about building your business and how to get
started and whether you need money or experience I started with nothing I had
no experience starting my own business I had no money to really be doing anything
because I had a job and I was about to quit it
I had bills up to my eyeballs I can't even tell you where I was but I sat down
today and said okay I keep getting all these phone calls especially from one of
my really good girlfriends she calls me all the time to tell me about how she
has this great idea and she wants to start something and I keep saying you
know why have you not started and she keeps saying I don't know brandy but the
whole reason that I haven't started is one reason is I'm scared and I say to
people like what are you scared of what is keeping you from breaking through and
is it money is it experience or is it just your mindset and your thought
process so that's what we're gonna be talking about today and I have something
super special that I'm going to announce at the end of this livestream as well as
if any of you have any questions I'll be answering those live
and after this video the way that YouTube works is this is gonna go and
listen I'm gonna make sure everything's good on here and re-upload it so you can
come back and leave your comments and I will go through them before tomorrow and
hopefully be able to answer some of your questions on here I will try to make
sure and cover those so I know that have not always the best and returning your

as well as I'm gonna be putting this in the description of this video whenever I
upload it so without further ado let's just talk about how I got started in my
first business and what I really had starting out and where I started so I
did go to college I do have a degree but that really has nothing to do with what
I do now so for those of you didn't think that you have to go to college and
you have to get this big corporate job and learn all these fancy skills that
would be wrong because think about it anytime you get a
job you've learned skills you've learned how things are going and you start to
develop in a month in two months and you start to look back and say wow
I had no idea what I was doing and now this all makes sense why did I make this
so complicated so it's the same thing with starting your own business nobody
tells you how to do it there's not really a system in place you kind of
just have to throw yourself out there and figure it out so I had my job and
one day I watched this webinar online and the webinar was really about and I
have my notes here like I'm not kidding I really planned this stuff out um
was I saying that I've joined this webinar and the crazy thing about this
webinar is it just got me thinking and I was like you know I'm sitting here all
day and from I would say 9:00 to 5:00 but literally 7:00 to 5:00 I had so much
to do but then I would have these free time so like from I don't know seven to
ten or seven to twelve I would do a whole bunch and then the rest of the day
I was just like wait on people to call because I traded stocks and stuff like
that and it's totally boring and not anything that I do now but I used to
trade like billions of dollars for Wall Street and I did this conveyor belt job
and decided I wanted to do something else because what I figured out was that
I knew how to automate the systems that we did and all of the people that worked
with me and so everybody would come to me and I would put together a system and
everybody just knew that this is how the system flowed so I've watched this
webinar and it got me thinking about how to sell stuff because up until this
point I had only sold stuff on line like money so I've traded money for people
invested money for people but I really had never sold a product
selling a service innocence or I was telling your product that was was more
like a service based product so you could purchase things like plans for me
when I did individual advising and stuff but either way I did have some type of
skills in selling only because I was talking to people all day I was not
getting paid to sell it really just started out as learning in my job so I
moved on to selling stuff online Amazon eBay I came across just this webinar
that taught me about how to make money from going to Goodwill going to Walmart
I would go to Target and thrift stores yard sales
you name it flea markets I started learning how to sell online and it just
opened a whole new world for me because it was almost like a high and so I went
from shopping for myself for shopping for other people and it was like an
addiction in a way then I was able to shop and go buy clothes and toys and
baby items and weird stuff you never even think that people would buy believe
me people buy really weird things so I started selling everything you could
think of and then it like I said it became a high so I was like okay how can
I get to the bigger thing and the bigger thing so from going into the retail
shops I went into pallets and I started trying to figure out like how can I buy
more of this stuff and sell more of it because I was selling out online
I was selling on Amazon I was selling on eBay I was selling on local offer apps
and here we have offer up and was the other one let go so you may see a lot of
commercials for that at least here in the US
and I'm in the southeast 8000 so I started selling crazy things online
people were buying for me right and left I had a beautiful apartment that was
stacked to the ceiling in boxes Amazon boxes packaging then I moved into a
warehouse office space and it just kind of blew up from there like I said I had
no idea what I was doing and it just kind of fell into this business and I
didn't really know I was making I was just kind of trying to figure out how to
make extra money on the side but I wasn't necessarily planning on it
becoming a full-blown business so I'm started doing the pallets like I said
and that was like local auctions so I found some local ones that are here in
Atlanta and I was just searching online I would search warehouse inventory
liquidation deals things like that and closeout sales closeout deal things of
that nature and see what came up so some of the things that started to happen was
I would get these huge pallets of new items and one of them was magic kids I
remember these magic kits sold out like hotcakes I cannot believe how fast these
things sold out so I would go back and get more and it just got really crazy
and the I even started what was the other one I think there's no starburst
it's called bulk beat ulq and I was living in this beautiful high-rise
across from Sara Blakely back in the day before she moved across
the street now from where I'm at holler Sara because I'm still across the street
from you that's my girl like my real girl so Sara if you ever want to invite
me over and just thanks I totally can see you and I would love to come up
there and out but that's my shoutout so pallets
auctions on line my walls were stacked up with boxes and I was getting these
huge trucks to come and deliver these pallets to my condo and it was kind of a
little sketchy also because I'm here in Atlanta and I'm just gonna say like it's
not the safest place and so I would be downstairs getting stuff delivered and
people would say these fancy items come by and I was thinking oh my gosh
somebody's gonna steal this before I get it out to my condo I'm sitting here
unloading these huge pallets of stuff like I wish I had video and pictures of
all of this I have some old pictures of my house then I took but I wish you
could have seen a lot of the truck show up there's so much that I wish I could
share with you because it was crazy and even till it's dial I my warehouse all
that so document document document your journey and you're gonna have so much
more even if you don't share it now document where you're headed and where
you're going so sorry I pitch um I got these pallets delivered like I said I
was stealing stuff on so I flipped these items
I flipped and I bought new items I did get into return items but that was just
a bad business move so if anyone ever asked if you want to sell return items
or buy return pallets absolutely not do not do that it is a waste of your time
and money so um sold on Amazon sold on eBay when I
first got started just flipping items that I found at local stores and I came
across this Amazon seller app there's also some other ones I think they're
called maybe profit bandit and some other stuff I made some videos about
this called like goodwill series a while back probably a year ago and shared my
journey on this and what I would do because a lot of you were asking
questions so yes I even till this day sometimes if I get
really excited and I see something that can sell a lot I will scan it with my
Amazon seller app and see what the cost will be so what happened was I started
getting so busy that I went from buying just individual items to my mask
quantity of items to then I started getting I don't want to say complaints
but people would say something about the product that I sold like something broke
and they wanted me a fake shirt fix it or replace it and I was thinking well I
only have one of these or if I had another one I would send it to them
which thankfully did it happen very often but I started to learn that I
didn't want to be selling someone else's product because I had no control over
the manufacturing I had no control over the what they were putting out the
content they were putting out about the product and it led to me private
labeling so I started out private labeling or I would say importing and
exporting probably the labelling products from like China and then it
moved on to me not importing and exporting but private labeling products
here in the US so at first I started out on some tools that many of you may have
heard of one is Alibaba and it's like the Amazon of the world for trading
wholesale goods and items and then they have another option which is called
Aliexpress and so with Alibaba normally they expect you to buy like 100 200 300
500 100,000 of something to sell but with Aliexpress you can buy a smaller
quantity maybe you want two or five or ten of a quantity to sell and you can
start now with Aliexpress you can't do the private labeling both Alibaba you
can because you're talking one-on-one with the manufacturers and working out
deals and that's a whole nother ballgame of
what to get into and how to get started on that if you're interested in stuff
like that let me know like I said I'm going to be uploading this video again
after the live stream and you can put your comments in it and if you're
hanging out here don't forget to say hello and comment on this but if you're
watching this later on make sure in comment in the description area comment
section and tell me if that's the kind of stuff that you're interested in so
like I said things started to multiply and even when I was private labelling I
did kind of run into something I've never really talked about this so you're
the first to hear this I private labeled a product and it was I don't want to say
the epitome of my business but it taught me a huge learning lesson and I lost a
lot of money and I spent a lot of time and if I could go back there's so many
things I would do different because I probably could have saved so much I know
I could have saved so much money on Semak time but it's all a learning
experience so I private labeled an illiquid except for some of you that
don't know that's a product that you put in those ecig arete and I had a company
it was called smoke serendipity still to this day of my company it's called smoke
serendipity and I'm working on changing that because I also have my company blog
of brandy and so I really need to combine those but moral lesson of his
story do not name your business anything that you're naming like your product and
the other thing was that the product that I was selling it wasn't that it was
a failure it was just the whole thing that surrounded it that was a failure so
the biggest thing that I had no idea I didn't really think about was the fact
that they outlawed people advertising cigarettes
I mean how many times you ever see a Marvel commercial or anything out
they're promoting any type of smoke sensation Atari you don't see that
anymore because they outlawed it so I learned that the hard way I was trying
to buy advertisements and I couldn't sell the product and obviously I did
this the exact way that a lot of you do your businesses and a lot of the ways
that you keep telling me that you're starting your businesses you're talking
about buying a mass quantity of t-shirts oh i'm by about 500 books of this
already in a sample copy okay let's back up don't ever buy products in
mass quantity until you have started selling them and the way it works means
you sell ten then you buy twenty yes then you buy a hundred then you buy a
thousand and you sell out each of those quantities and then you do more if
you're not selling the product that could tell you something and if you're
running out it's not necessarily a bad thing it's letting you know that you
need more quantity and that's a good thing that you're running out ok cool
now I need to get 20 now I need to get a hundred and in the beginning you're not
necessarily gonna make money you may be losing money which is totally fine
because that's how a business starts you will lose money in the beginning you're
not always gonna be winning chassé so um what else so I tried to buy
these Google ads and I'm sorry to figure out there was all these regulations
around smoking and sanitation products even know some of the things I was
selling we're more vitamin based or all natural healthy base so that started to
get me thinking about well do I really want to be selling this and then I sort
of just look at my competition and all of these legalities and legal actions
that we're taking against them so it just really put me in a mindset okay
again I don't make the liquid for this product I just and private labeling it
from honestly China so it was a janky situation needless to say I do
not sell that anymore and I'm a huge stock of this inventory still to this
day I believe it sitting at my mother's house but that was a business lesson
learned um so I bought a lot of it and then my morals kicked in I was just
thinking like do I really want to be selling this am i hurting someone would
someone want to brand themselves with my company or say I'm associating with her
she sells this big cigarette product and another thing is like I don't smoke that
stuff so it's not really a conversation piece for me if I'm out around people
that are smoking yet I'm running the opposite direction and it's just not
something that I would be selling along with my morals so during that process
that I had set up my own website like three times and learned how to promote
on social media because social media wasn't as restricted as the Google Ads
and the other thing was I knew the power of Google ID so I just kept saying well
if I could just get a product and I can just put it on Google Ads then I know I
can make money but that wasn't the case because the product itself was just a
bad product in general it wasn't something I could put on Amazon it
wasn't really something that I bei wanted you to promote so I was really
limited on my channels and how to drive traffic to the brand in the way that I
wanted in a way that I knew how to drop traffic so um what changed for me we
went out of town and I think we actually went to the casino and my email was
blowing up we couldn't even enjoy ourselves on this
trip because of how much was going on and whatnot so we went on this trip long
story short I was freaking out every time we went to the casino I can't
thinking oh god we need to get back home we need to get back home and it was just
not a fun time and at that point I said you know what I am putting the brakes on
this I was reading some books at the time
and I believe it was the 4-hour workweek by Tim Ferriss
and it just taught me okay there is not any kind of automation process to this
it's not set up the proper way then I'm trying to hire people now I'm trying to
figure out how to manage my time and when you hire people it takes a lot of
your time and a lot of your money so I really wanted to just breathe and that
wasn't what I was used to when I hadn't met a corporate job I had automated the
process where people just shut up and knew what to do and nobody ever asked
all these questions I wasn't constantly realigning myself so I really just took
a moment and from the hiring and the training and the sending and the mailing
and just trying to figure this whole thing out and I had so many streams of
income happening from all these different directions I couldn't keep up
with what I was spending because I was just trying to make it happen instead of
worrying about how much I was spending I was just like okay we've got a mail it
doesn't matter how much I'm spending we just we've got to get this out we'll
figure it out later let your turn to later and then never so
why do I say all of this I'm sure you want to know well this really took a
turn for me when I said okay I have got to come up with a process and here is
the process I've talked about this in a lot of my outsourcing videos but there
is a very simple strategy to this the first step that really helps me get
clarity any time things are going crazy or figuring out I need to start
something or do something new is really to get organized I start out organizing
everything my files my house my car my contacts my email whatever it is I get
completely organized I'll even organize my youtube channel my
Twitter list whatever it is if I think something's going crazy I will organize
that even my ads on the phone believe it or not when you're gonna
you say that so much more time so after you get organized which is the first
step the second step is to eliminate so you can't really eliminate things until
you've put them in the proper place to know if you need them after you've
gotten organized you can go through and figure out okay I need this I don't need
this maybe this is something that I can do later on and prioritize so getting
organized and eliminating has to also do with prioritizing so you're getting the
things are important put up front and eliminating the things that maybe aren't
so important or at least just pushing them off to a lighter date in time after
that hey thank you for joining and thank you for all of your support on my
channel I'm so excited that you're here I'm getting ready to announce a special
announcement and you're not gonna want to miss it so and please put your
comments in the chat everybody so getting organized eliminating and then
the third thing is to start automating and I know everybody is so scared of
automating I don't know why you're scared of automating because if you
think about it everybody has this Alexa button now from Amazon and you're saying
okay I just want her to automate everything I heard today on a commercial
they were automating buying coffee it said hey like so put in my normal
Starbucks order to her car and I was thinking okay this is so weird people
don't realize that this stuff is already kind of automated but now they've got
this robotic thing talking for them so yes these things can work in your favor
you just have to figure out what works for you and again when it comes to
automating this systems that work for me may not work for you and someone else's
systems may not work for you but I take bits and pieces from everyone's ideas
and kind of like create my own so look at your competitors look at what other
people are doing that are in your space and what I'm talking about automating
I'm not just talking about automating your business I'm talking
about automating your life when it comes to cleaning your house can you think
about the amount of time you would spend cleaning your house versus the amount of
dollars you could pay someone to clean your house and that's how I start this
process of outsourcing and eliminating and putting things into motion for how I
have honestly like built my business is I've put everyone into a string and they
came from different places but in the end they all end up in the same place so
organize eliminate automate and like I said automate your life automate your
business they all go hand in hand if your time you really need to know I
always ask people how much is your time worth and if you don't know to answer
you honestly need to sit down today and stop and think because I know how much
my time is worth I know how long it's gonna take me to sit down and help
someone set up their YouTube channel go through all their social media set up
their social media accounts help them create their post help them look up
their hashtags help them brand their business go through their colors their
fonts look through their channels look through everything that they're doing
listen to them and give them feedback it takes a lot of work and honestly these
things that I do for people where I find that most people fail is they want to do
one piece and not the other piece to their business or something that they
think is maybe not important so the only way to know that something is important
or not is to be going back in analyzing these things so the last and fourth
final step to my process of how I really broke free and made started making like
serious money in my business had clients calling me like crazy and I mean now
even while I had this live stream I'm totally not trying to look away but my
email is blowing up and it just keeps saying sold sold sold I'm not kidding
because I just started a new product on Amazon and I just could not help but
come on here to talk to you because I'm so excited about how fast this thing is
selling it is crazy how fast this stuff is selling so even till this day I still
sell on Amazon but I sell my own private label product on Amazon so some of
you've heard me talk about it but that's not what we're talking about today so
outsourcing and nobody wants to do this it is a lot of time but it has to be
done if you want to grow you can not be in the same place all the time
and what I have learned is if you plan on answering all of your social media
putting all your posts together creating all of your emails putting all your
videos together for YouTube creating the post looking at the hashtags all the
things that I said it people asked me to do for them it is a lot of work how do
you think I get it done I have one systems and two people in place so
whenever you're trying to figure stuff out it may be video processing maybe
that's not your strong point or maybe you know that your time is better spent
somewhere else so when it comes to outsourcing I look at what can free up
my time and also when you're thinking about outsourcing and automation keep in
mind that there are systems out there even the transcription on my videos so
after I get this video done YouTube does make a transcription but I need the
transcription to put on my blog and I also like to have the transcription to
pull and use for other things I like to read it make sure it's right and if I'm
gonna go through and do all that I might as well do it right and Plus YouTube
kind of determines what you're saying and are you gonna have to go through and
do the work so I outsource the transcription of my video and first I
was doing a human automation so if it's a long transcription I'll use a human
and outsource it but I pay a dollar a minute so that's pretty cool and she
unless you have like a really launching so this one is much longer I'll probably
use another service that's more of an automation or artificial intelligent
service because it's so much cheaper and they have apps for your phone so I could
have been recording this on my phone and already have the transcript to go with
it there's so many options but the only way
that I learned this was because I started to suffer and really want that
time back with my family for my dog to travel and to do all the things that I
love to do so I do not spend all my time on social media and YouTube and Facebook
but I will tell you the time that I do spend I spend it very valuable and I'm
able to do that because I take the time to automate my process and outsource my
weaknesses and really like gain clarity so I want to teach you the same process
that I started and I told you I literally started with nothing I had
this job and it was not really what I wanted at the time just because I was
going to the same thing every day and then I started selling a product and
then that led to the next product and the next product and I learned how to
sound then I learned how to do email marketing and then I learned how to do
social media and it's these relationships that I've built with
people on line and the people that I've met and the customers that I have
created and I'm gonna be really serious with you right now like this is how
serious I am I have an email database of over 500,000 emails I am not kidding
when I tell you that I am a hustler five hundred thousand people over that now
have shown interest in my products and services and it's all because of social
media email marketing and some other little tactics that I've
learned but it comes from trial and error and that's what's allowed me the
freedom to travel the freedom to do these live streams with you and talk to
you and teach you and so I have gotten so many questions about how I do this
how do I automate my email how do I automate my social media and ultimately
how do I automate my selves funnel so tomorrow yes tomorrow I'm so excited
like I have been waiting to tell me all this I was gonna just do the webinar
today but there's so much that I really wanted to share with you it's gonna be

phone literally I took my phone for those of you too don't know I love
sparkling water so to Pacheco haha I took my phone and I would scan
the barcodes on stuff and learned what they were selling for how much it was
costing me to mail them and it turned into so much more I had no idea what I
was doing where I was going how I was gonna make money with this thing and it
turned into this huge business that now I am traveling and meeting people that I
never thought I could meet influencers brands it is crazy I mean I've been to
Walmart headquarters hanging out with people that never thought that I would

actually gonna be hosted in my Facebook group so I'm putting the link to that
down below as well but you want to make sure you get the class times and if you
subscribe to the webinar I'll shoot you a quick reminder right before it starts
so that's the benefit if you join the Facebook group make sure you turn on
notifications so that you know when I go live but you'll be able to rewatch it
for a little while but there is secret access i'll drink lots of coffee in the
afternoon that's a good idea drink lots of coffee and show up and
hang out with me don't forget to go join my facebook group and let me put that in
here for anybody it's gonna be rewashing to make sure that you say that because
this is where the live the webinar is gonna be at is in my face
bakery so that's it I will see you tomorrow
and thank you again for joining me it's late I probably should have had some
coffee before this but hey it is what it is so I will talk to you tomorrow good
night from the u.s.a
