In this episode, Starting a business has never been more accessible than it is today. With the proliferation of technology, the rise of e-commerce, and the wealth of information available online, aspiring makers can become entrepreneurs with relative ease.
The barriers to entry have diminished, but while the doors to entrepreneurship are wide open, the path to success remains paved with challenges....
This increased competition, resource limitations, multi skill requirements, and the ever present risk of owning a business can seem daunting.
But so did learning your craft right? In the beginning, you didn’t have the knowledge you have now. But by watching videos, asking other makers questions, and trial and error, you made a skill for yourself.
Just like you’ve assembled the tools of your craft in your workshop, you need to assemble the tools of business, in your own small business.
