I’ve been feeling the same this whole year. It’s been my quietest year in like 5 years and it’s really unmotivating 😔 I’m taking the quiet time to expand my range and try some new things I’ve been wanting to do. If it works, great! If not, then it’s at least helping me creatively. All the best! 💕

Hi!!! I’m so curious where you get the claw clips and why you sell them! I’m looking for some other accessories to bring to market with my clay earrings

Unsolicited AND amateur advice but it sounds like you may be suffering from a bit of depression. Perhaps speak to your general practitioner? Also, another idea is to take a social break! (Not video making but scrolling). I really hope you feel better soon. I know how it feels to be in the dump for an extended period of time. Sending good wishes your way.

Hi Eve, Thank you and I appreciate your concern and Im sorry you have experienced feeling down for an extended period. I'm not sure if you understood what I was trying to share in the video, which is just an honest and real view of how essentially every single small business owner is feeling right now, not just me. I think we have become accustomed to only see the "highlight reel" of people and businesses that we forget that there are a lot of downsides too...Im personally just trying to share my honest and real experience and you can have a read in the comments below to see how many people appreciate hearing that and feel the same way about their own businesses. Things are tough right now and we literally dont know where our next pay check is going to come from and we are all feeling a bit lost because we are working so hard every day and not seeing any results...

I feel I have plenty of confidence 🥰I wouldn't have my own KZfaq channel if I didn't, right? I think being honest and transparent about the issues im facing in my small business doesn't mean im not confident! I think were just not used to seeing people be transparent and honest online, and are only used to seeing everyones best days and that can warp our idea of how the world really is...im sure you've had good and bad days as well, im just choosing to be real so that others can feel less alone! All the best and don't forget that there are real people who read these comments and let's try together to be more empathetic and build each other up ok? 🥰

Hi! Im a new subscriber and i love your content! Im also a polymer clay artist here in the US and i can definitely understand how you feel.

Wow, I legit was going through the exact same this week! I told myself this week I was getting my orders out, doing my market and then just taking a couple days to do nothing. I have been in this "survival mode" for a month now since I lost my 9-5 and it is really taking a toll on me since I have poured all my attention to my business and just constant. Try to take just one day off, I know it's hard but sometimes we have to force ourself to step away from the business and do something totally different. (I know I do) Thank you for sharing the vulnerable parts. 💖
@lazy_daisycreations Ай бұрын
wow Emma you really nailed it when you say being in survival mode, that's exactly how I feel... you're so right, being the one person in the business doing every single thing means you're constantly doing or thinking about things and its exhausting... im coming up to 4 years doing my business and im just tired of chasing my tail only for people to suggest things like "just make more reels" or "have you thought about tiktok" 😂 like literally I have tried everything and views dong equal sales but its hard to explain unless you're in it... I hope things get better for you, sending lots of love - were in this together ❤️

I've come to realize that I have these periods too, pretty regularly over the year and they come and they go. My best tips is to lean into it, take a break a breath. Usually, the answers come when you stop searching for them like crazy. Hugs from Finland. ❤

I understand what you're saying but as a full time business owner I do need to keep on top of my competitors and trends so I cannot just tune all of that out unfortunately! Im sure the reason all artists start is because of the art but we are all struggling right now to make ends meet and that might mean doing things that aren't exactly the reason we started just to stay afloat and provide for our families ❤️

Cherish your mom ❤ mine just wants to shop and once she’s done she’s yammering about how little has sold and why my kids and I go through all the effort 😢 we also have to deal with their father who wants all the money you make but is always questioning how you make it but doesn’t help at all - he’s gotten really negative about doing anything especially since covid. Whereas the kids and I enjoy being out in the market atmosphere - other vendors keep us motivated. It isn’t lost on them that they all work as couples and their father has never come. Anyhow - ❤ - yes feel your stress on having to decide everything. Wish you had someone you could rely on 😊 but at least your ma is there for your markets 😊

Vitoria…I think you and I suffer from the same small business owner malady…overactive brain, lol. It makes it so hard to stop…so we keep doing when we need to pause and take a breath. For people who can turn off their brains, it makes no sense. But I absolutely feel your pain. I tell myself, it’s impossible to pour from an empty cup…then my brain argues about the size of the cup and why I’m pouring anything 🤦🏻♀️ I love your videos and how genuine you are. Try to take a moment to yourself every day or two love, even if it’s just a bath or walk outside. I hope it gets better hon..being a creative with a business is like trying to juggle chainsaws with one arm 😐 Sending hugs from the US ❤

Thank you so much for your lovely comment ❤️ I think its so easy to see in the comments who is a business owner and who isn't because if you haven't been there yourself its so easy to say what people should or should do... but the truth is that we DO know what we "need" to do but we can't make ourselves just relax when the bills are due and you haven't made enough money that month to support your family... I think people are a bit shocked to see how honest I am about the lows of business because we as as society are not used to seeing people talk about the bad stuff too... Thank you so much for understanding and supporting and for always being here with kind words ❤️

Vitoria, hi hun. oh i understand the no motivation thing, nothing seems to be selling for me in my FB group everyone is so quiet. I have been meaning to start sewing some things, but my motivation is low, thinking no one will purchase anyway. I was talking to my husband and we are discussing if we should go set up at our local market a few times to see what happens... you look like you did very well at yours! 😀 and the weather was beautiful. lovely video , hope you get your mojo back x
@lazy_daisycreations Ай бұрын
Hey Diana... you're so right, thinking no one will purchase our products anyway makes it even harder to keep going and get motivated... I definitely have put all my eggs in the markets this past year or so and unfortunately (apart from very few seasonal markets) they have been declining steadily ... I know its not just me, everyone is feeling that so I know its not me specifically but it makes it so hard to keep going... I hope you guys decide to try the markets to see how it goes! I'm thinking now of possibly having another pivot and doing something else but also scared to start something new when the economy is so bad...

So I attempted to vlog about my last market this past Saturday. It's very messy...I'm not good at editing, only have my phone, feel awkward talking to the camera and forgot to turn for orientation lol but I did it. We got poured on. You can see the floor under me starting to flood with water in one part I managed to catch on video. Saturday was a disaster. No sales at all. Loss $55 plus my lunch $15. Plus the weather here has already started to feel like August. It was 95F...humid and a bit windy. Hurricane season starts June 1st till Nov 30th. Indoor events are limited and expensive, so no idea what I'm going to do. The heat on top of possible strong thunderstorms throughout the summer do not make for easy vending outdoors.
