The Flea Market Blueprint, A Step-By-Step Guide to Starting & Growing Your Booth Business

Leo Moss began his journey at Smiley’s Flea Market in Macon, Georgia, proving that big dreams can start with one table and a smile. Over 15 years later, he’s still in the market, still putting in the work, and still showing people what’s possible when you’re willing to do what others won’t. From weekend hustle to full-time income, Leo’s blueprint has helped dozens of sellers turn side gigs into sustainable businesses.

He also runs a brick-and-mortar store in a local mall, giving him real, day-to-day insight into how small sellers can scale, adapt, and thrive, even in tough markets. Through workshops, mentorship, and his growing online presence, Leo shares the lessons he learned the hard way: how to price, how to pivot, and how to build a brand that lasts.

Married for over 28 years and a proud father of two daughters and grandfather to four energetic grandkids, Leo believes in building a life and a business that supports the people you love. The Flea Market Blueprint is his way of giving back: a practical, real-world guide meant to inspire, motivate, and help anyone turn a simple booth into meaningful income and lasting freedom.

Leo’s journey hasn’t been without setbacks, from slow sales to learning the hard way about inventory and customer flow, but those lessons became the foundation of his blueprint. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up, Leo’s message is clear: you don’t necessarily need a degree or a big budget, just grit, vision, and the courage to turn your passion into profit.
