Fan Marches Forward With Thrive Learning Institute

I would rate my coaching experience a 10. It is absolutely wonderful. When you go to any school, in your classroom, there you have one teacher and a lot of students, when you have a question, either you have to wait in line till your turn or you have to solve the problem yourself, I just can't believe that in this program with one student and a lot of teachers. In this team of coaches, they are there when I need them, they are very patient with me and solve my problems. They are just a whole bunch of wonderful coaches. I'm Chinese and a computer beginner, English is my second language and I never learned a thing about computers, most of my knowledge is self taught with a bit of help from my daughter, a lot of things in this computer I just don't know .. period. My team of coaches gives me step-by-step written instructions (like John), or calls me on the phone and shows me how to do it directly on the computer (like Tyler). I feel very lucky. Right now I have an item (which is from a Website) for sale on eBay. I didn't even know I can do that, never mind how to do it. For the next couple of days, I'll try to put more things on eBay for sale. I'm very excited and look forward to building my own Website. In the beginning I was a bit afraid. Being away from school for almost 30 years, I wasn't to sure whether I could do it or not, but now, I'm full of confidence, looking ahead and just marching forward with team 2.

Michelle Learns to Sell and Thrive on eBay

Prior to this round of ebay selling I did not have a lot of success with ebay... The research background...helped open my eyes to ebay as a marketplace for products I had in inventory that were going nowhere. I [now] have a better understanding of ebay, my inventory and the value... The biggest obstacle is [the financial] investment to start and grow a business -- when you are strapped for money to begin with, investing more of what you don't have becomes extremely stressful. Lack of initial success. Theory is if you throw enough money at something it will eventually work. Reality is different. My returns were minimal compared to the amount I invested and by bills were getting bigger by the month. Vision is another obstacle -- keep your ambitions to the scale of your budget; and, stay focused. When you have an urgent need for cash there is a temptation to jump to the next best thing never completing what you originally started. Technical expertise -- I hate to count the money I wasted on arrogant web developer who overcharged and underdelivered for the services I procured. Either learn web skills or do a prepackage blog. You must have commitment or don't bother Focus! Focus! Focus! Get a clear picture in your mind of what you want to do before starting Realistically assess your financial status for investment in your business Explore your technical options to market your product/idea (website,blog) Research your marketing options thoroughly – READ! READ! READ! Beware of Consultants talking a good game on [the] phone w/ fine print contracts Buy lotsa Rolaids! Don't [lose] the faith!

Bob and Sally Enjoy Working With Thrive Learning Institute

Bob and Sally made 2 sales for $626.42. “At the point of finishing our site where the homepage was built and all we basically needed was product pages and product, we had a lot of fun, Thrive couldn't have made this step any easier. It's like finally finding a new house you've been looking for, for months, and finally getting to move in. Adding product to your store is like adding furniture and such to your new house, putting things away and in their proper places so they can be found easily. The Reactive Team was great to work with, and because of their high standards, our site looks the way it does today. Our experience has been a lot of fun, very challenging and very stressful at times, and I know we've come out of our comfort zone a couple dozen times, but all in all without the coaching of each and everyone of you at Thrive we would have given up long ago. Thanks to all of you for being so patient and helpful. The marketing phase has been fun so far, as soon as our site review came through, our coaches were sending us the info needed to start marketing(you guys don't waste any time). There is a lot to do yet, and there is no doubt in our minds that our coaches will be there to keep us on track. There were many obstacles, only because Bob and I knew very little about navigating around on a computer. It's half the reason it's been so much fun, because of all the things we've learned. and we both spend hours on the computer and our site, tweaking things and moving things around, because we know how, and because we can. [Advice to future students] patients, patients, patients most of all don't give up! trust your coach and your instincts and do the best you can believe in yourself and don't lose sight of what you are after. And you will get there.”

Thrive Coaches Encouraged Paula

[I have made] 3 eBay sales for $82. My coaches have been very helpful and encouraging, I haven't really needed any one on one advice so far, but my weekly contact has helped me to stay focused. I have even managed to list and sell a couple of items that didn't seem to be very popular according to my research, but it just shows how far a strong listing can take you. I'm inclined to procrastinate and this has been by far the biggest obstacle. I'm working very long hours and am constantly tired, it's very tempting to just put it off until tomorrow, then I'm under pressure to complete the steps before my deadline. However I'm encouraged by the fact that all 3 items I have listed have sold. I've got the bug now, I have to find more items! Plus it's starting to feel like fun and not work which is a big plus. Future Students: Just do it! It's satisfying, interesting and a...sight easier than working for a living. I have sold a Nintendo Console for $40.00, An electric manicure kit for $24.00, and a black dress for $18.00. I'm very excited, it is becoming addictive, I'm constantly looking at things and thinking "Could I sell that at a profit?" It's taking over my life!

Thrive Teaches Kenny Strategies and Tips

[I had] 3 eBay sales for $186. My coach has helped me to understand more about postage costs. I was needing help with handling the possible difference in shipping costs posted in my listing in correlation to the actual shipping costs from the dropshipper. Tyler helped in the beginning by pointing out that my email address was a bit too out of the ordinary and that some sellers use gmail, so I got me a new gmail address. New Students: Keep your optimism strong while digesting all you can about strategy and procedures. A good idea or breakthrough could be just around the next corner. I have...sold a Dehydrator, corner sander, and two polo shirts. I have noticed that the wholesale prices are comparable to some of the retail prices, but I will eventually learn how to pull a good profit. As in everything, there are strategies and tips to be learned.
