#69 - Why Some Makers Stay Stuck (and How to Finally Move Forward)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Feel like your handmade business is stuck in the same place month after month - no matter how hard you try? đŠ
In this episode, weâre getting honest about why so many makers hit a plateau (even when theyâre doing âall the right thingsâ)⌠and what to do if thatâs you right now.
Youâll learn:
đ¸ The illusion of growth that keeps you treading water
đ¸ The real cost of DIY-ing everything alone
đ¸ Why your fear of investing might be costing you more than you think
đ¸ How to know when youâre ready to get real support
Plus, Iâll walk you through the difference between two real-life paths: Sam (the hustler stuck at ÂŁ200/month) and Lydia (the maker who hit her first ÂŁ1k month doing less).
⨠If youâre done winging it and ready for real growth â this oneâs for you.
