Do What You Love - The Reality

posted April 27, 2016   category » Crafting
I think I have read almost every book available on running a small business - especially a crafts business.

Here's what I learned:

1.  Stop reading how-to books.

2.  Do what you love.

I think there may be a little gnome hiding in a dark room somewhere just churning out how to run a business books.  This guy may or may not have the facts.  Heck, he might even be a successful person. However, sometimes the things I have read make me want to just throw in the towel.  Why is everything purported to be so complicated?  The books say take this step before this step...and so on.  Then, while trying to follow all these stupid steps, you find you haven't been productive.  Of course not!  Who can be productive when you're trying to follow some gnome's steps, reading all the related materials,  run a household, and still have a life?

The little gnome doesn't address that.

I will.

STEP 1.

   Do what you love.  

Just keep doing it.  The more you do, the more you learn.  Crafting is a hands-on life.

STEP 2.

   Enjoy your family and friends.  
When they irritate or disappoint, as we all do from time to time,  repeat Step 1.

This is my reality....what's yours?
