Starting a small business
Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you’re enjoying the long weekend. Columbus Day weekend has always been my favorite weekend of the year because the weather in New England is still comfortable enough to be outside and fall really starts to peak around now. (Do you have a favorite weekend of the year or are you normal?)
So, last night I finally accomplished a childhood dream of selling my artwork and launched an online shop! It was definitely a pinch-me moment.
I’ve been drawing since the age of 2 and have found it to be so therapeutic for me. When quarantine started back in the spring, I picked it up again to keep my mind distracted and at ease. I forgot how much I loved it, and as time went on, I started to have all these pieces of art in a folder with nothing to do with them. So, I did my research and launched a little side gig shop on my blog.
Of course, I am more excited over anything else. But there are hesitations due to SMA. Questions of will I be able to keep up if I get sick or have busy weeks with my other jobs loom over my head. At the same time, this shop was my way of simply creating a passive income stream, so I don’t plan on making it my full-time job.
Have you started an online business? If so, do you have any tips or tricks for managing your business and SMA?
