This event is organized by Albert's List. The event is online and FREE. Attendees can attend from anywhere. RSVP here: [https://luma.com/4f5frhsd](https://luma.com/4f5frhsd) Most people think reselling requires pallets, weekend sourcing trips, and a garage full of inventory. But the truth? Your highest-ROI items are probably already in your home. Charles Costa learned this the hard way. Years ago, a friend challenged him to list something—*anything*—he already owned. He grabbed an old camera lens, wrote a quick listing, and expected nothing. Two hours later, it sold for $68. That single sale changed everything. Not because of the money, but because of the realization: **You don’t need a big setup to start earning—just a system.** And that’s exactly what this webinar will teach. ### **In this free teaser session, you’ll learn:** * How to identify the everyday items in your home that quietly hold real resale value * The beginner mistakes that kill trust (and how to avoid them instantly) * Simple photography tricks that make your items stand out * How to price confidently using real market data—no guesswork * What actually moves the needle in your first 10 listings * The repeatable weekly workflow used by successful resellers to build steady income ### **You’ll walk away with:** * A clear understanding of the items in your home that can sell fastest * The exact steps to prepare, photograph, price, and list your first products * A confidence boost that you *can* make money without spending money * A starter checklist you can use the same day to list your first item ### **Plus: A Special Opportunity** At the end of the session, you’ll have the option to join the full course available now on Gumroad: [https://resellingguide.ai/](https://resellingguide.ai/) Attendees will receive an in-webinar discount, so join us to get it! Created by a veteran insider who has worked directly on marketplace systems, the course gives you a proven, practical roadmap—not generic hustle advice. You’ll learn how to launch, scale, and automate a side income without sourcing trips, pallets, or upfront investment. If you’re ready to turn unused items into real money, this is where it begins.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design. Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast. After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills. In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development. Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
