help wanted

Moderators if this thread is inappropriate for this forum please remove with my apologies.

I am seeking a part time employee who wants to work at my coin and collectibles shop in Kissimmee, FL...just south of Orlando.
This will work into a full time position.
A thorough working knowledge of ebay is a must. The more coin knowledge/experience, the better. Also experience with dealing with the public in a retail atmosphere is important. Honesty is most important of all so references will be needed.
If you live in this area and are interested PM or email me.

Will you cover moving costs from Northern Michigan??

 

well, if we could work out the commute from Topeka KS, I would work for you for free...

 

Heh heh thanks guys but like the best Disney and Universal Studios offers, this one's for Florida residents only
Although I AM thinking of opening a second location. hmmmm should we discuss that?
Nah. I don't want to use the board for that sort of discussion.
Nick

 

Something tells me that I'll still be looking for good help at that time so YES please do keep me in mind, my friend.
6 years from now I hope to have a second location up and running so that I can just travel and buy.
But who knows what the future holds for us?
Nick

 

what is your secret for the formula for successful in coin business that will lead to just travel and buy?

 

most likely low prices fair trade and excellent service... something I wish i had up here... hey nick.. you said you wanted to open a new location.. how bout opening one up here in Tacoma Washington... ill tell ya... you would have a full time worker right here and a devoted buyer

matter of fact a burger king went out of business just up the road for me... my uncle has often talked about making it a internet cafe to drink coffee and surf the internet.. as its right down the road from a college... but a giant coin shop would do nicely too

work. hard work. lots of it. starting the day several hours before the store opens, then spending early evenings on house calls/appraisals, and late evening answering emails and doing mundane things like studying new auction mgmt tools. traveling to shows as often as possible.
HANGING IN THERE and working every contact you meet (usually other dealers), memorizing who buys what and for how much. then remembering it when you purchase material that they want.
that in a nutshell is how it can be started. afterwards it gets a little challenging and really starts to get time consuming

 

The plaint of so many independent startup small businessmen: I scrimped, saved, took from bosses and worked overtime to save enough money to open my business, so I could work twice as hard for half the money and take twice the from customers!

 

I'll tell ya, Nick. The last time I was in Orlando, I nearly bought the farm.
I'm doing about 60 mph in an 80,000 lbs. vehicle, when I round a curve, only to find traffic has come to a dead stop about 50 yds. in front of me.
(yes I do carry extra clothes with me)

Besides that, I hate the smell of swamp water. LOL

 

i once had a job for someone it lasted about 3 weeks then i got another it lasted a whole month.Since the age of 18 i have been self employed .i have never been unemployed and i have done numorous things each one earned more than the last.im 34 now and will never work a day for anyone else in my life i earn more a day than a lot earn a week.

the key is to be desperate,when your self employed you cant sit about waiting for things to happen you have to go make them happen.Ive had 4 diffrent buisness and each one i ran till the next one was running better.ive had a few things that failed to but like i said i held onto the last till i got a better one.


its an attitude thing most people prefer the steady pay check i realised early on i like to make my own decisions and my own hours and knew my life would rather be self employment or in and out of work and social payments.Many people feel like i do in the world but half of them take the wrong route its all a matter of choices.

thieves and lazy people are just people like myself that cant handle working on some-one elses terms but dont have the initiative to use there attitude to there advantage.


self employment aint a job its a lifestyle

 

by the way i have a building buisness just now, but have started dabbling with coins and bullion.

i never knew a thing about these things till 6 months ago but already make in my spare time about 400 usd week form it,lots of people put up with a boss all week doing hard work for that its just another sideline in my self employment as of yet.

so if i can do that in 6 months anyone can

 

I'm with you, Jimmy. If I never work for someone else, it'll be too soon. Sorry about that Nick, but I'm not in FL anyway. I'd definitely rather work double the hours but get to make all of the decisions. It's tough to work for someone else when you don't work and play well with others.

 

Haha there's no swamp water left here. You'd have to go south to the Everglades to find that. But the smell of suntan lotion is permanent

 

you could open a shop here in dayton, ohio...

 

I need to be able to travel back and forth pretty often so OH probably wouldn't work for me.
I do have my eyes on a certain fine southern city. But first I have to finish making this one self supporting.

 

Nick

do you own a Waffle House to?

 

What kind of vehicle weighs 60k lbs????

 

What was that, a locomotive ?
