How Do You Measure Success : Growing Your Handmade Business in 2017
Posted by Cynthia Boris
As soon as you make the decision to start selling your handmade goods online, it’s all about that first sale. It’s a huge thrill knowing someone wants what you made, and the money is nice, too. But sales are like potato chips – you can’t have just one, you need another and then another. And if you don’t get as many as you hoped in the time frame you imagined, it’s easy to get discouraged. In one week you go from feeling like a successful entrepreneur to feeling like a total failure. That’s one, tough roller coaster ride.
Obviously, you want to sell what you make but to survive the long haul, you need to open yourself up to other measures of success.
