About Rebecca:
I started reselling many years ago but only recently amped it up into a part time business. In 2016, I found out I needed a very expensive surgery with a specialist in New York City. I wasn’t working due to my health so I needed a way to earn the money for my medical bills. That’s why I decided to take something I was already passionate about and use my profits for my health. That is exactly how Boss Lady Resale was born.
When I first started running reselling as a business instead of a hobby, I really didn’t know what I was doing. I previously owned my own fitness studio but I never had inventory and used a computer system to handle all of my sales. I decided to start tracking my inventory so I would know what I had, what I lost/redonated and what I kept for myself.
One day my husband, Aaron (who is @TheDataGuru) saw my spreadsheet and started asking me questions. Basically, he was proud of me for tracking the information but I’m pretty sure it killed him to see how messy my data was in the Google Doc. So, he started helping me and bit by bit I started understanding more about how to use this to my advantage. I realized if I wanted to level up my business, I needed to get smart about how and where I was getting my inventory.
After my surgery, I started implementing some of the tips and techniques he showed me (which we show you in this course) and it jump started my sales. The more I worked on my reselling business, my profits went up and I spent less time sourcing. This is truly a business where the amount of work put in can be seen on the amount of sales.
About Aaron:
Rebecca and I met in 2003, and my life has never been the same. Even in the first days of meeting her, I knew she was going to challenge me, and that our relationship would never be boring. Almost 15 years later, we have accumulated a shared history of stories and experiences that we hope to share with others. Where she is an entrepreneur and loves to be social online, I am more practical and risk averse, and prefer to be behind the scenes. However, my day job has allowed me, with the strong encouragement of Rebecca, to embrace the small extrovert inside of me. In doing so, I have had opportunities to present and speak all all over the world on personalized healthcare and the data and analytics infrastructure required.
By collecting genomic data and other precise measures about who we are biologically, we are at an unprecedented time in the our history to understand how our biology and environment impact our health and wellness. I work for a hospital system, but ultimately, we want to keep you of the hospital, and give guidance and services that keep you healthy and happy. Here is a TEDx talk I gave that highlights more on my thoughts and motivation for how data can be used to change lives. All this may sound complicated, but the fundamentals of how we capture and use data can be translated to many areas of our lives.
Since Rebecca started her reselling business, I have been able to help her with understanding the data she is collecting, knowing how she can leverage it to make better, and make more profitable decisions. There are fundamental concepts that can help you spend less time entering and cleaning up your data, and more time using it to put money in your pockets. By tracking specific data, Rebecca has been able to shop smarter, save time and money along with see bigger return on investments with her inventory & sales. This is what we want to teach you how to do in your own business.
