What's one thing you wish someone would have told you before you started your business?
Discover wisdom from seasoned handmade sellers: insightful advice, personal experiences, and key lessons learned for entrepreneurs starting their creative business journey.

We asked Handmade Seller readers to share their perspectives on our Question of the Month. Here is what they had to say:
I wish someone had told me to have more faith in myself and to listen to my instincts. That there is no magic formula that works for everyone and that I will learn most from my mistakes. Had I known this, I would have persevered in more projects and carried them out until the end.
Ida, The Hatted Fairy
