There are a lot of challenges to opening your own handmade business and SO many questions to ask yourself before you enter into this venture. Do you have the financial means to get an idea off the ground? Where will you find the time to make AND market your product? Which social media platforms should you use to promote your product and how are you going to learn to use them???

But, the biggest question to ask yourself is: “Do I have the self-discipline to buckle down and run my own business?

procrastination get the better of me?”

Procrastination is my own worst enemy and probably one of the biggest obstacles I deal with on a daily basis. Motivating myself to jump on Instagram to do promotions when all I want to do is cuddle my animals and watch HGTV renovation shows is my everyday struggle. But, instead of getting down on myself and adding even more stress to my journey, I’ve worked together with that little ‘p’ word to use it to my advantage.

But, the biggest question to ask yourself is: “Do I have the self-discipline to buckle down and run my own business? Or will I let procrastination get the better of me?”

Procrastination is my own worst enemy and probably one of the biggest obstacles I deal with on a daily basis. Motivating myself to jump on Instagram and do promotions when all I want to do is cuddle my animals and watch HGTV renovation shows is my everyday struggle. But, instead of getting down on myself and adding even more stress to my journey, I’ve worked together with that little ‘p’ word to use it to my advantage.

I find that a lot of my procrastination comes from feeling stuck and lost.
