I was just thinking the other day about how I SHOULD do something a certain way because look how so-in-so does it and it'd be the right thing to grow my business, blah, blah blah. But then I realized that this is why I left the corporate design world...I can make it up! I can do it my way! Right or wrong, it's mine.

I think what I try to remind myself is no matter where you are there will always be someone who is doing more/better/faster/younger <I>and</I> that you will probably always be That person to someone else too. We're all in the middle somewhere and I think that's rather comfy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23368466.post-90146701590718158162007-05-25T19:25:00.000-05:002007-05-25T19:25:00.000-05:00I think that part of the reason I have been so hes...I think that part of the reason I have been so hesitant to start an Etsy shop is purely because for me it *does* take some of the joy out of it. It makes it feel like something I have to accomplish, instead of something I want to accomplish.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I think honesty is a good thing.

There are some knitters and crafters out there who can post a new finished thing almost every day, and it takes me weeks to do anything! And then anther week to find the time to take pictures and post it on Craftster. And then I get one comment.<BR/><BR/>But you're right.
