How I Opened My First Store for Under $10K
My name is Julie am a mother of two. I was an A/R supervisor for an oil 21 long years the day they outsourced my and I suddenly found myself unemployed. I was devastated, heartbroken and felt betrayed all at the same time. I had $18,632 in my company retirement and they paid me two weeks of salary as a severance payment.
After recovering from the shock, I started to apply for any and all jobs I could find online, but sadly didn't even land one interview. Around this time I read a success story of a lady who owns thrift store business in Kentucky, I became inspired by her success and found a way to contact her.
We spoke for a and she seemed genuinely nice and helpful as I told her my situation. She explained to me that this is one business which doesn't require much skill sets but only some serious dedication and passion to be successful. She said anyone could do it. She gave me some pointers and told me to work on them and to call her if I needed any help.
A week after we first spoke, she called me up and offered to start a partnership venture with me, I was delighted, little shocked and very happy to have her as my partner. So our journey started.
forward two years, we are about to open our 3rd store next month, and I have never been this happy in my life. I finally feel that I was born to do this, and not what I did for my job for 21 sad years.
Just so you guys know, I am not a writer, but I wanted to share this knowledge I have last years with everyone that is looking for that opportunity, that break and that idea of a retail business that can be managed easily with true passion and dedication. As you read this you will learn how I was able to follow her advice and started our very first store at under $10,000.
Remember, no risk no only live once, so if you believe in your ability, if you think you have the passion and the dedication, then take the first step, and get started, be successful and live your life the way you want.

"Julie Hoffman, author of the book "How to Start Run and Grow a Successful Thrift Store Business On and Offline," writes a great book about entrepreneurship at its best. It is a step-by-step guide. However, the added component of online sales is an excellent aspect of the book. It is a fascinating story coupled with knowledge and encouragement. I strongly recommend this book for any one venturing into the thrift-store business." - Docprov
