My First $50k on Etsy :: Part 1 :: Emotions vs Evidence
My first $50,000 in sales on Etsy was a complete emotional roller coaster ride! Decisions that I made were based on emotions. I did not pay enough attention to real business metrics that I should have considered before taking over-reactive steps. In hindsight I have learned that it is “Emotions That Sink You” (E.T.S.Y) and it is “Evidence That Saves You.” (E.T.S.Y). This is Part 1 in a series designed to help you avoid emotional pitfalls while running an online shop. This episode is great for Etsy shop owners (or anybody thinking about opening an Etsy shop) to listen while you’re working and it's packed with takeaways you can immediately put into action! • • • If you are a creative solopreneur— a designer, illustrator, artist, or other type of independent, self-employed creative professional—HAT CHATS are created for you and designed to inspire, educate and "Help Artists Thrive."
