Actionable Take-aways:
1. Flipping items are a great way to get started with entrepreneurship. Choose something you are passionate about and become and expert and you might just be able to build a multi-million dollar business like Brian did.
2. As an entrepreneur, it is important to know when to give up control and delegate responsibilities and choosing the right people in order to grow the business. While you might want to do everything yourself, you might just become a big limiting factor to your business.
3. While payment services like Paypal charge a transaction fee, they provide mechanisms which can protect you in the event your counterparty did not fulfil their end of the bargain and this can help prevent events of fraud.
