I'm baaaaack!

Guess who's back on eBay? Yours truly!

It took 35 days, but who's counting?

Anyway the entire ordeal is OVER, thank goodness. I owe a HUGE thanks to my new friends at the eBay Trust and Safety department. Although it took longer than expected, with a little persistence, actually, with A LOT of persistence, we got it squared away. I told the few folks that I got to know over the course of the month, that if they ever came to Hawaii, I would personally take them surfing.

Anyways, theres a lesson to be learned in all of this. I was getting a lot of emails from you guys saying that you were in the same situation, and with each email that I read, my hope was fading. But, if you know anything about me, if I want something bad enough, I will keep trying until I get it.

That's exactly what happened in this situation, I LITERALLY got about 35 "NOs", seriously. I was told that I would not be able to get my account back up, because I was linked to an account that I had no clue of. It was super frustrating, and after about the 25th "NO" I was about to give up.

Then... something kicked in, and I started to think, "nothing is impossible". There HAS to be away for me to get back on, and guess what, I was right. There is a solution to every problem, finding that solution may take a while, in my case 35 days, but the solution is there.

My advice to you in business, in life, in all things, never give up, don't EVER take "NO" for an answer. It's so cliche, but seriously, if at first you don't succeed, TRY and TRY again. :)

Sometimes I think we are given these problems to make us better, faster, and stronger. I know for a fact that this mini vacation from eBay has made me a lot stronger. Sometimes you have to experience pain, in order to experience joy.

Anyways, that was my motivational speech for the week.

Let's get back to what we do best... make money!
