11 Small Business Lessons I learnt in 2024 (from just surviving to thriving)
This video takes you behind the scenes of our small business and shares some of the highs and lows of 2024, as well as a bunch of small business lessons we learnt! I shares our struggle through 2023 and how we bounced back to achieve our biggest revenue year yet in 2024.
The video explores:
- starting a RUclips channel and how it helped our small business
- Developing a locally manufactured product that sold out 8 times (the Drill-a-majig)
- Issues faced with our 3D print farm and how it affected our flag ship product and operating rhythm
- Sourcing, testing and releasing a new product (the Multi-Click Rotary Tool)
I hope the lessons I learnt along the way can help your small business in 2025!

    It was really good to walk with you through this :) I have run a small craft business before (leatherwork) but really got burnt out by it and it took a long time to get my mojo back. Not sure if I'll make a business of polymer clay, but it's certainly got me looking at at least financing my craft addiction with it 😛

    • @myclayco

      I hear you! It's so easy to get burnt out,ai am lucky to run it with my mum and sis so I can share the load! 😊 glad to hear you are still crafting though, we actually have a lot of customers who just sell a little to pay for their hobby, it’s a great strategy!

    I really appreciate how you broke everything down by categories of organizing- environment, etc. I also appreciated the idea of cleaning off the space after a project - I tend to let things sit there on my tile and when you come to a cluttered space it produces a little bit of stress, so having the clay scraps organized and away is a very helpful idea and one I am going to implement today.
