off my shoulders and I felt giddy with excitement . N I ’ d temporarily solved the issue , but because I reme a conversation I ’ d had with myself one week prior . making stained glass , it became extremely clear to I wanted my time freed up so that I could focus mo sharing all of the marketing tests with you that I ’ ve running for my stained glass business . For example Oct 20 - Jan 18 I spent $ 198 on Instagram ads wh gained me 2,000 followers ( on a brand new acco and made $ 6,000 on Etsy . Not bad !
When I had this “ ah-ha ” moment the week prior , chuckled to myself because I knew it meant that s disaster would likely happen to push me in the rig direction before I was ready . Sure enough , it did ! has happened several times in my life . As soon a decide that I want a change , something happens forcibly move me before I ’ m comfortable with it .
Turning over my baby ( magazine design ) to someo else is HARD , but Ivy is breathing new life into the azine and I ’ m simply thrilled about it ! So , be brave lowing your joy and accept the challenges that pu in the right direction . They don ’ t feel like challenges you see clearly the amazing things on the other sid
