[161] The number 1 reason handmade businesses fail (and 3 strategies to overcome it)

  I have seen so many handmade business owners flounder and give up, and there is one thing so many of them have in common. I call it the ‘what, how, when’ problem. This happens when makers don’t know what to do, how to do it, or when to do it in regards to their business. You can know the what… but not the how or when. Or maybe you know the when, but not the how… you get the picture! When you start out, especially if you have zero business experience, there is a HUGE learning curve. But… how do you know what you don’t know? How do you make sure you’re doing the right things, at the right time, in the right way? There are 3 strategies you can use to climb the mountain and craft a successful business, and I share them with you – in detail – in this episode. I also share the BIG special I’m offering on my Set Up Shop course, and why!
