Today I'm going to be brutally honest with you.
If you've ever asked yourself 'should I start a handmade business?' then this video is for you.
In it, I outline all the challenges that come with starting a handmade biz (or starting an etsy shop) and help you to go into the process with your eyes wide open - if you decide to go for it at all.
Don't get me wrong - having a handmade business changed my life, and I wouldn't change having done it... but there are a LOT of challenges that I think people don't have any idea of when they just fall into opening an Etsy shop or decide to start selling their craft.

💡 WHO AM I?
G'day, I'm Jess!
I started my craft business Epheriell.com as a hobby in 2008 - and in 2010 I went full-time.
I've been 100% self-employed ever since.
In 2013 I also started createandthrive.com to help other makers turn their handmade hobby into a thriving business.
I also love to learn and talk about happiness, health, and how to design a life you love.
