I'm so happy I stumbled upon your video. I am building my small business after so many years of it as a hobby and this is great information to learn and give hope that we can succeed. Thank you!
i am so thankful that i stumbled upon your video.. also thankful that we’re in an age where whenever we feel anxious or doubful, there are videos like this out here that we can listen to and encourage or reassure us. opening my small online business was something i had to think about A LOT too and i have so many fears of the unknown.. and it’s really helpful to hear tips and advices like these. it really lessens the feeling of doubt within me. thank you!
Love you and your business! I really enjoy hearing about the process behind everything. I'll admit, when I first discovered you a few years ago I had a little moment of 🤔 at the name until I heard you pronounce it on a video and then I was like ooooohhhhhhh it's her naaaaaame 😅 It sucks you have to kind of start over due to your burnout but I wish you all the success in the world and I hope this time the growth meets you in the right place 😍
I really get that 'fear of growing' and feeling sad when looking back about that time when it took off but you didn't take that leap of faith! I feel the same. Thank you for talking about that.
Hey lovely, I am so happy I stumbled across your channel! I'm Steph.👋 I am just in the process of starting my small business and will be launching my first product in January which is an eyeshadow palette 🥰 I have found your content extremely helpful and enjoyable and I just love your personality!
The timing for this video couldn"t be any better hahaha xD I was making a business plan for a business idea that I've been thinking of doing for the last few months and this video really helped to clear somethings in my mind , thank you so much the video was informative and entertaining as well you're so funny *-*
I'm so happy to have discovered another Portuguese illustrator! My parents were born in São Miguel and I wish I could live there. Excited to follow your journey and wishing you all the success 🩷
Amei saber sua história e trajetória (vou escrever em português porque sei que entenderá - sou brasileira). Sou ilustradora também e estou muito motivada a criar meus próprios produtos com minhas ilustrações. Seus vídeos são inspiradores e saber da sua trajetória me motivou ainda mais!! Parabéns e muito sucesso!! :)
Hi, I’m on the cusp of starting my own little business. I’m an illustrator and graphic designer and I decided to start off with sticker sheets. I stumbled across your video while researching, and I’m really enjoying your style of video. Thanks for all the helpful tips 😊
@@NettieBags thank you so much!! Unfortunately I know some people don’t say my name online sometimes because of the pronounciation 😂 and got a comment a few weeks ago about it too abah
Lovely video Bia! I had to laugh at the comment about your business name. I’ve always liked it, I found it a very smart play on words… but well… I suppose as a Spanish speaker, I’m not the best judge! 😅 You make a great point about checking how a business name can work for international audiences
Hay thank you for this video. I was waiting for this. Great tips btw. It will help me going forward and aslo I hope it helps others starting their shop. Thank you again and keep it up 😍🙂
You are such an inspiration Bea. Love watching your videos every week. My name is Debora, I also live in Portugal. I'm an artist who sells sticker sheets, but wants to expand to greeting cards and notepads. I saw your tutorial on the notepads and it gave me the push to invest in a paper cutter. I want to make more products for the shop. My dream is to be able to make a living from my art just like you 😊
@@oramorastudio Ola Debora! Thank you so much for sharing a bit about you and your business! Just followed you on Instagram, everything is so pretty!! You got this 🥰✨🌸
Thanks for sharing. I have been following u about a year now and I love your videos. U inspire so much of us small business and I love the tips u share today❤ Here is a little about me: I’m Alloy and run a small business in London call dejahdesign where I make handmade hair bows for girls. I start watching you as initially I started as a stationery business making greeting cards but I have grown so much as a person and what I want for my business. So thanks for sharing your journey, I look forward to your videos all time. Also I love Portugal 🇵🇹 I visited Lisbon and I fell in love ❤
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! Really nice to meet you Alloy 🥰 thank you for sharing!! It’s so cool when we start to understand what we like and what we want to focus on, isn’t it? So happy you enjoyed Portugal ✨🌷
Amei o vídeo, também sou de Portugal e estou na fase de ganhar coragem de me despedir do meu trabalho a full time e trabalhar só do meu negócio de crochet, pode ser uma coisa muito assustadora no nosso país, mas os teus videos motivam me imenso, obrigada!
@@NerveCrochet aaaah que bom, espero que consigas brevemente! Quero fazer mais vídeos sobre isso mas sem dúvida o que me ajuda imenso e ter várias maneiras e conseguir rendimento: loja on-line, mercados, etc. boa sorte!! 🍀
Agora que visualizei todo o vídeo, desejo que tudo te corra bem e agradeço muito os teus conselhos. Eu terminei o meu curso de design gráfico em Janeiro deste ano. Apesar de ter tido a máxima classificação sou muito insegura e não sei ainda bem que caminho seguir. Os teus conselhos são muito bons e vou segui-los. Lamento teres passado pelo que passaste, mas acredito que tudo na vida tem um motivo. Estou disponível se precisares. Não te conheço mas estou orgulhosa de ti.
Que querida, muito obrigada pelo carinho e pela partilha também 🥹✨ temos de começar a pensar mais para nos mesmas como pensamos para os outros, não é? 💛
Negócio próprio é duro mesmo, seja aqui ou na China do faroeste. O importante é não desistires, enquanto fores feliz. E quando não fores, só tu sabes o que fazer com a tua vida e carreira. Força nas canetas 😅 já dizia o amigo Herman José.
Olá Bia, Sinto muito que tenhas passado um período muito difícil e que ainda estejas a recuperar. Tenho a certeza que vais conseguir crescer o teu negócio. Às vezes para avançarmos é preciso darmos uns passos para trás. Já passei por 1 burnout e quase que entrei num 2.° e as coisas não voltaram a ser iguais. Por isso cuida-te, arranja tempo para desacelerar a mente e cuidares de ti. Quanto a ser uma profissão solitária é verdade mas quem sabe não crias um grupo de novos amigos online? Em tempos falei contigo penso que no Instagram, eu adoro papelaria estou a querer recomeçar a fazer alguma coisa mas para já como hobby mas há tanta coisa que tenho dúvidas... principalmente em relação a materiais. Eu sou de Espinho, gostava muito de um dia poder falar um pouquinho contigo. Um beijinho grande😘
Acabei de te encontrar. É tão difícil encontrar outros portugueses nesta área! (Mas vejo alguns outros aqui nos comentários. Olá malta!) Vejo também que estás a pensar em criar um canal em Português. Acho que seria interessante, ter uma fonte de informação nesta área sobre o que fazer e como o fazer em Portugal. E isso acabaria por criar uma comunidade de artístas (ou aspirantes) portugueses, que acho que faz imensa falta.
Olá Bia, adorei o teu vídeo ❤ tenho um hobbie que gostaria de transformar em trabalho 😅 gostava de saber a tua opinião sobre gerir um small business em Portugal. Não sei se é impressão minha, mas parece que lá fora dão muito mais valor... quem sabe um vídeo 😉
@@arca_de_mel Ola! Ai sem dúvida.. mas já estamos a melhorar muito nesse aspeto! Estou a criar um canal em português onde quero fazer mais vídeos sobre isso mesmo, para conseguir falar melhor sobre a realidade portuguesa mesmo 🥰 obrigada 💛✨
Loves this video, just found your channel and subscribed. I started my RUclips channel for my Etsy business this year and I 100% agree with you I wish I started sooner just to look back on it all. I sell funky hand painted and handmade clay and ceramics 🌈🪴🍒🎨✨
I think I came across your channel thanks to that viral notebooks video and stuck around after that. It inspired me as I started my small business last summer. I love how genuine you are and all your advice clearly come from the heart. I loved all of them and Im definitely going to apply them. My business kind of gets occasional booms/seasonal ones and each time I almost fall into a burnout because it just becomes too much to handle on my own! I will be working on how to avoid that and get help when needed ❤️🩹
@@learnenglishwithnour9497 aaaah thank you so much for sharing that. Glad you kept watching my videos, really means a lot 🥹 sometimes I worry I don’t really have anything important to say and that I just ramble on eheh. Argh same! We can’t keep doing this to ourselves 😂
"Doesn't make sense for my business, could have made sense for another business" Lolll you're so funny!! 😂🤣😂
Trying to explain without saying anything 😂😂😂

It does feel so disheartening and sad but can’t blame ourselves from the past, there was still a reason we made that decision. Sending much love 💛
