5 Controversial Myths 🤔 of Running a Handmade Business

There are a lot of myths floating around out there about what it’s like running a craft business or a handmade business. I talk to makers every day and I’m one myself, so I’ve been in your shoes, and I’ve seen there are a lot of mismanaged expectations that cause people to fail before they even get started. In this video, I’m going to bust through some of those myths and my hope for you is you’ll be able to recalibrate your expectations and in turn, have more endurance and persistence when it comes to running your business. That way, you're more likely to succeed!

I’ve been in business for fourteen years and I’ve seen it all. I’m a part of communities of makers, and I have one myself with my A Sale A Day students, but I see so often people are frustrated that their business isn’t where they want it to be yet. And when I get the chance to dig deeper with some of my students, some patterns become quite clear to me, that we have certain expectations coming into this business world, that are inaccurate or just flat out wrong. And I’m not blaming you, it’s not your fault. We build up our expectations and perspectives based on several things like the things we consume like movies and TV shows and books, and sometimes it’s just how we’re brought up. We’re taught that working hard is so important and if you put in the work you’ll get what you want. And unfortunately, in the real world, that’s just not true. And we’re consuming every day stories of people who went from rags to riches and saw overnight success, even though that’s just a caricature of what really happened, but people like telling those stories because it’s motivating and inspiring, right? But without realizing that it’s a double edged sword, and it’s causing people to have the wrong expectations.
