Sometimes starting a business is really, really, really hard. There are days when I wake up I just don't want to move. There are days when I am so exhausted and so worn down that I don't want to go into the studio. There are weeks where there are no sales (sometimes even months) and I get so discouraged and feel like the whole world is against me. I know intellectually that the entire world itself is not looking to destroy me, but some days my brain is not working on the same level and my heart is all that's working.
It is so discouraging to have Black Friday and Cyber Monday go past and not make a single sale. Last year we did much better. Maybe its time to change something? Maybe I need better marketing? Better products? More products? Better photography?
What do I change?
Can I go back to bed now?
Hang in there! It is slow starting out, but you've got to continue to believe in yourself...and work hard...and eventually it will pay off! Here's wishing you the best in 2013.
ReplyDeleteBTW, do you have a link to your etsy site on here that I'm missing? Would like to see your work!
