Absolutely, I think you do need to be prepared for ups and downs in the years. As a single mom, I have run my biz fulltime on Etsy and my own website, also wholesale to shops. This year was more difficult than last year and I sat it out a long time, but decided to be not too rigid and now have a parttime sidejob again, to be able to live more comfortable, without the stress to make that certain income for your bills. For me it wasn’t so much that my sales were too little, but more like you mention my costs were up due to Covid and shipping tripled. I thought about higher prices, but found out I prefer a little safety from being employed to make sure I keep liking my own biz. I believe that is the key, being flexible, continuing but sometimes on a slower pace or really listen to what you need. I like your channel because you keep ‘close to home’ and it resonates so much with my personal intentions. I love my biz because of the joy and being able to work from home. I like it to be successful, but also personal. I keep away from ‘buy now and receive tomorrow’ strategies on purpose.
Thank you for this video found it very interesting I be wanting to this for years you have given me the courage to go further yea I would be interested in the story

You can do it!
Appreciate this video. Any numbers from developing countries like South Africa?
If I could make $4k in my first year, I'd be chuffed. I'm starting your course tomorrow
I hope it helps you!
