What has been the hardest challenge you've faced as a business owner?

Discover how real handmade sellers overcome business challenges, from mindset shifts to self-doubt and finding retail opportunities in this inspiring collection of experiences.

We asked Handmade Seller readers to share their perspectives on our Question of the Month. “What has been the hardest challenge you've faced as a business owner and how did you overcome it?”

Here is what they had to say:
