I feel the exact same way now as you felt in your starting years! Beating myself up for not working harder, smarter and all the time! This video is so relatable and made me feel normal! Thank you for sharing 👍

Great reality check for me here. Thank you! I was stunned to hear you say it took you 5 years. That makes me realize how impatient I can be. Gotta work on that! :)

OMG great video! Everyone needs to hear this ….1000 of hours spent learning! If you work full time already this time learning is not only unpaid but done durning you off time!! I totally see why so many give up!!

Thank you for this video! It was so helpful.

Thank you for the tips. Hopefully, soon I will be able to quit my 9-5 job and focus more on my POD store. PS. Please do some cleaning in the comments and delete these spammers. Thanks!

True.. before I started Etsy I spent hours days, months to research, learn..and take a jump..and understand that it's marathon not sprint.

So on point! Haha facts, on facts. It feels crazy to learn so much and apply it to then realize you really don't know much at all, there's always so much more to learn imo that's the best part 🔥💯

Thanks for the info, Starla. I have lots of friends wanting to go on their own and I'm sending them here.

#5 could have been #1 and even be the only tip one needs.

If you are not passionate about what you're doing, you'll ultimately fail. Tips #1 through #4 don't happen unless you are passionate about your endeavor.

Having said that, passion can die so you need to seriously ask yourself if diving in is really what you want to do. Don't think with your emotions. That's easiest way to convince yourself of something.

Passion is what makes people successful. Whether you start your own business or work your way up in someone else' business. As my grandpa told me when I was a teenager (some 50 years ago), if you don't like what you do, it's just work.

I didn't realize books can be a business expense! Currently have some in a cart... Thank you!

I still miss Starla’s keys, and I regret not buying one before Swarovski stopped supplying to the general public.
