I live in New York running my own wholesale business that doesnt consume a lot of time, makes decent money and has very little headache but I can say the most mentally (and financially) rewarding part was driving through places like western washington state, oregon, alabama and southern georgia to visit local shopping malls to see if any of the store owners would like to start purchasing from me. Just buying a ticket, reserving a rental car, mapping out a route on google maps and just driving from one mall to another along sometimes empty country roads and checking into a motel in the middle of nowhere just to get enough rest and wake up in the morning, grab coffee (big win if they have dunkin donuts or starbucks in town) and start driving towards my next target. Nothing special about it but easily best thing I did during my 4-5 years of running the business.
- jqbx_jason 8y agoI've had to do something similar for an eCommerce business (my wife runs an online toystore). 100% agree having a reason to go to places you would otherwise never go to is amazing. The random connections/experiences has changed me into a better person and are incredibly rewarding. Having written this I think the take away is you don't necessarily need a reason to go places- just go!
