Hi Barbara, I just want to say thank you for doing this! You’re my inspiration as I feel so many similarities to your journey. Given my background in overcoming difficulties in school due to dyslexia and transitioning from a teacher to a business owner, I've launched a successful e-commerce business creating custom diamond paintings (it arts and crafts) while promoting mental health and while using artwork from real artists 🤗 After launching my business in march 2024 this year, I’ve done over 60K in sales with about 40% being profit before taxes…. Do I want to increase profitability, sales volume, both? My prices are already on the higher end. I’ve done an excellent job stating my business with no money down. Do you have any advice on when it might be the right time to consider holding inventory instead of continuing with drop shipping, or should I stick with my current model and save the headache of inventory? Love, Crimson 🤗🫶🤍

I could be wrong. But I sensed that you might have a cold. Maybe a sniffle.

My tried and true remedies might work for you. All during the Pandemic I worked. I delivered products from Walmart in Allentown PA To various locations in New Jersey.

Believe it or not. I had Covid 19 Symptoms 13 times in 6 months. My remedies worked against Covid.

But on 4 occasions I had to do some serious praying.

In the past 24 years. The only time my remedies didn't work was when I had a tooth infection. A sinus infection. And Pneumonia.

1. If my nose runs. I take 1 Spring Valley " Walmart" Brand Zinc. With food. In 5-6 hours my nose usually stops running!

2. If it persists. Then I eat 2 6 ounce cups of only " Stoney Field Farms Brand Yogurt". Only means - only this Brand!!!!

And I take a 2bd Zinc. Then I repeat the following morning and evening until fine!

3. If I have congestion. I reverse steps 1 and 2. Stoney Field first. Then Zinc

4. Sometimes before I get sick. My eyes water! When this happens. I reach for 2 6 ounce cups of Stoney Field. And in a few hours my runny eyes clear up. And I don't get sick.

5. If I can't clear my throat. Mouthwash will clear it. But if I don't have mouthwash handy. I take 1 Cold Eeze Brand or Generic Zinc Supplement. And within a few minutes I speak clearly again

6. If I ha a sore throat or I am coughing. I take Cold Eeze or that stores knock off generic brand Zinc Supplements all day. Along with 1 Spring Valley Zinc as soon as I have a sore throat. Or cough. And later that day....if necessary.

7. By the way. If you have ever gotten aches and pains when sick!? Zinc eliminates them!

Just remember to always take Zinc with food. Or you will get a bad stomach ache. If you get that stomach ache. Eat food right away.

If you don't get a stomach ache. Throw it away. It's no good.

I only swear by Spring Valley Brand sold at Walmart and The Vitamin Shoppe Brand

Fred Meyers up here in Washington. It's yuck! Poison. Lits so bad I spit it out.

On another note

If you help me find a partner. I will teach you how to get God. Yes Jesus....to find you a man.

From 2000 to 2017. I met 10 different women. They were about 97% of what I wanted.

If it worked for me. I think it might work for you!
