There are worse things to be fixated on. Starting your own business sounds like a good idea to me if you have a realistic plan.

I know the feeling, if it’s anything like me. you’re probably thinking it’ll be easy and a walk through the park for you but then when you start, your motivation will quickly fade — that’s how it is for me.

you definitely can, and definitely should - but only if you’re willing to stick it out for a long time.

Just keep in mind that if you do crafts and etsy and markets and such, it can be hard to get a following. The market is just flooded with people doing it. Ive done cricut stuff and wood burning, did the market route and had several regular markets i went to, and it was hard to turn it into an actual profit making business. I spent 2 years just bleeding money. I had fun and it was awesome, but i never could rely on it as an actual money maker.

I don’t have a plan in place. All I know is I want to craft and sell.

My first thing I want to sell is pins. I design the pins or at least take inspiration to design them and then I get them made into laple pins. See where that goes.

Here is a pin mock up I requested but I’m not getting this made. I found the image on canva and edited it to the way I like. You are allowed to do this without getting done for copyright. The glass where the face was intended to have glitter enamel so it looks like they’re looking at stars
