While I will be following along and hoping for your ongoing success, I hesitate to call anything about these last 2 videos "realistic" for the average small business owner just starting out. Being able to start out with a brand new cricut (and a fairly pricey one at that), thermal printer, not 1 but 2 EcoTank printers, an automatic heat press, and the funds to stock 300 professionally made prints, among other things, before ever even launching your shop is not typical of brand new small business owners. Nor is having a half dozen orders immediately upon initial launch, not even if those orders are all friends and family. While I am very glad for you that you had the ability and support to be able to start this way, please do not mistake this for normal or "realistic" for 99% of new small business owners. Cause its simply not and suggesting that it is can be very harmful to those who dont fall into that 1% of people that are able to start off like this.
Hello, Thank you for following my last two videos. I would like to apologise for using realistic, my reason for this was because many launch videos show packing 250+ or 500+ orders. I thought I would show what starting a small business can look like for many starting out. Please know I never meant any harm to anyone. I will take your advice and take out the word realistic.
Congratulations on your shop launch. It's sweet hearing your family be so supportive! ☺
Thank you =)
