I will share a few things that have helped me, because I also resell online and can relate to your situation.
I think a lot of it is because it can be such an unstructured business. This is especially true if you are blending your business activities with taking care of kids, etc.
At a job, someone else has already created a structure for you.... one that is usually designed and tweaked to get the most out of you. Of course, many people in jobs may be unaware of this, but since employers view you as a resource to make them money, they have tweaked the environment, duties, etc to support your productivity and success. Employees operate under a consumer mentality, where they themselves are being served by the company, employer, etc. to a large degree while they work. Think about it. the buildings, supplies, work hours, match coworkers and so on... Of course the specifics vary, but the principle remains the same.
In your own business, you have to be in a 100% producer mindset, shrugging off the years of indoctrination in the consumer/dependent mentality. here are some examples of both:
Wake up, get on the computer and start watching videos...(consumer)
THINK about selling this, doing this, etc. (consumer)
Grab the latest Ebook or Bolo list (consumer)
Get up, ignore the computer for 3 hours and physically work on your business (producer)
Stay offline and write for 1 hour, timed (producer)
Tweak your environment.... DEDICATE time to the house/kids and Dedicate time for ONLY work. (producer)
Be intentional about facebook/youtube time..place serious limits on the time you will spend and stick to it (producer)
invest time to actively and effectively mentor or help someone. SOMEONE really needs your help! Find that person (producer)
Make a list of 10 new ideas about anything everyday...no one has to see... they do not have to be good... EVERYDAY (producer)
These are some things that have been helpful to me. I am a Christian and rely on Christ for strength and guidance everyday, and yet without clarity on the things I have mentioned, I wind up depressed and unproductive.

EBAY STRESS, DEPRESSION, LOW SALES, NO SALES, NO MOTIVATION FEELING LIKE A LOSER
This morning I got a little late witch is not uncommon when your not sure what you are doing. And I say that half heartily, because I should know exactly what I'm doing for the simple fact that I have studied my ass off on how to and what to do in every aspect of selling. So for some reason it's just not happening.
I really can't explain whats going on with me. You know I have dreams of being successful I have idea's and plan's to get there. I really know what I want, but for some reason I just keep spinning my wheels. I pick up stuff to resell all the time and it keeps going in the storage buildings and stock piling up.
In my past I was a real hard worker and somewhat of a clean freak always wanting things just so and organized. I could get up and go and work for the man, but can't get out of bed to go work for myself . Now I'm a stay at home dad, and find it hard to keep up with 3 kids and house hold chores. See for many years before I had a heart attack. I was the guy who would worked everyday and hardly ever would take time off. Sometimes never taking a day off for years at a time, unless there was a death in the family or I was so sick I just couldn't make it, and that was very rare.
I feel wiped out all the time, no get up and go even though I have plenty of reason to, its just not there. My house is a disaster, dishes in the sink clothing pile up in the laundry room. stuff needs to be picked up all over the house the kids rooms look like a bomb went off in them. This has never been me. I feel as though I can't move a head in my business if I can't take control of the simple task of taking care of my own house and this is a huge depressing mater for me. Not to mention winter power and heating bills on top of all of it.
I feel embarrassed to even talk about it, but its so true. I believe I got lost along the way.
Is it because of winter why I'm depressed. Is it because I have to much stuff and I'm not sure where to start. last summer I hauled in truck loads of good items and there still sitting unlisted 90% of it free. And for me its not about getting a warehouse. I have plenty of space, 2 large camper trailers both half full, large barn half full and a house nearly packed full. Is it because I'm over whelmed and now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, cause I have too much blocking my view.
I have watched nearly every video out there and have meet some incredible people from all walks of life and listen to there story's. How they came from nothing to becoming successful sellers. They have all given me motivation and idea's. I feel disconnected in some sort of way.I feel like I need a 1 800 hotline for depressed pickers and resellers a place to get inspiration to lift me up.
I need a plan man
