Today marks three years since I decided to start selling on eBay and documenting it here on YouTube. Hi guys welcome back to another episode of the Aussie Flipper. My name is Matt Dindrich and I am an online reseller. Yes guys they were socks and they were slides and the socks and slides got. I can't help it. I'm just going to keep doing it because my figure cold and they're really really comfy. So we're back to the channel. Big one today. Six, seven, eight, eight pairs of clothes and I have spent a whopping total of $30. The way the room is set up I've got my dress or table here that goes onto my working desk there. We've got a men's shorts, jeans, pillows, shirts so I break it up in a few different ways. Probably a minute I need to buy a few more of those tubs but for now it's all working pretty well so I wanted to show you that today the new office is getting real. Like anyone starting something new I honestly had no idea what I was doing. I still don't know what I'm doing three years later. Looking back 2020 was one of the strangest years of my life. Within the space of a month I'd quit my job broke up with my girlfriend and found myself flying back home living out of my old bedroom at my parents' house with the single-minded focus of growing a business on eBay and starting a YouTube channel. I'd never sold anything on eBay and I sure as hell I'd never published a video on the internet. I do think for the indefinite future I'll continue to do reselling. But something I've really grown passionate about is YouTube as well so I really want to kind of grow on YouTube and do as much as I can around creating content because that along with the editing side has been a whole lot of fun as well. I haven't been disappointed about where I've landed and I do want to continue with this for another couple of years at least so where would I go after this? Probably back to the footy bed sound for now. I'll enjoy being back home on the coast and enjoying better weather than this normally. The first year was the toughest. I spent more hours learning what to do than actually doing it resulting in 12, 14, 16 hour work days, seven days a week. I couldn't stop. Every new sale may be more addicted and every new YouTube subscriber may be more excited that growth was incredibly slow. It was around this time that I was able to make enough money to move out of home, finding a rental apartment close by but I'd find myself only going back there to sleep because I was working so much. Burnout has been something I've dealt with on multiple occasions. There's only so much that you can do and the pressure that I put on myself to figure it all out wasn't necessary. If I could tell myself anything back then it'd be to slow down and take it easy. Your health's more important than anything career related. Starting this journey, so I've proved to myself that the dreams that I had initially when I was on zero and zero have almost almost been able to achieve certainly from an ev-afe friend but I truly believe that over time it will be from a YouTube front as well. The last 12 months have been by far the most exciting. A year ago I flew to America and I saw massive growth in the YouTube channel. I moved into a new home setting up my business in the garage and I've hired a part-time employee Courtney. She's been amazing and she's really helped the business grow in her first six months of being here. I'm proud of what I've been able to achieve in three years and I'm optimistic about what the next three years will bring. This part of my life has taught me that hard work can get you a long way in life and discipline and sacrifice is really the key to realising any dream that you have but those traits won't be possible if you don't genuinely love what you do each day. It's been 1,095 days since I started this journey and I've still got the same excitement and single-minded focus that I had on day one. If you're here for the first time or if you've never missed an upload I just wanted to say thank you. Without you I wouldn't be able to get to do what I love each day. The fear will always be there. I've come to realise many big decisions that I've ever made in my life. There is always that element of fear that things could possibly go wrong but I think you have to ask yourself what are you most afraid of? Is it the fear of failure or what people will think of you or are you more afraid of that fear stopping you from ever starting in the first place?
