Not that you need validation from me or anyone els Not that you need validation from me or anyone else BUT in case you need to hear it today, if you make art (of any kind), even if you lock it in a closet and no one ever sees it, even if you don’t make a living from it, and even if you think it’s awful.

🎯 You know what’s scarier than failing? Waiti 🎯 You know what’s scarier than failing? Waiting for the perfect time that never comes. When I started my business, the timing was far from perfect. I barely knew how to sew (and started a clothing line 🤦‍♀️), had no clue what a spreadsheet was, and my confidence was at an all-time low while my anxiety was at an all-time high. And yet…I did it anyway. Why? Because the ‘perfect time’ doesn’t exist. The moment I decided to make a living with my art—and refused to stop until I did—it became the right time. Was it easy? HA! Not even close. But it was worth it. I learned, I grew, I shared my art with the world, and I even paid my rent doing it. ✨ Waiting for the perfect time = waiting forever. Start small. Start messy. Just start. That’s what CAMP is all about—helping you not just start but finish those big dreams you’ve been carrying around. 💪 🏕️ CAMP is our six-week online goal-getting bootcamp designed to help you take your goals from ‘someday’ to done. With weekly modules, accountability cabins, and practical, actionable steps, CAMP is here to give you the tools, support, and momentum to make it happen. Because starting is hard, but finishing? That’s where the magic happens. Drop “GOAL” in the comments to join the waiting list and let’s do this together. 💥 #makersofinstagram #craftersofinstagram #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessowner #craftbusinessowner #mentor #entrepreneur
One of the biggest mistakes I made in my creative One of the biggest mistakes I made in my creative business? Trying to water down my unique creative vision to fit what I thought buyers wanted. I remember second-guessing every design, thinking, “Would this sell? Is this what people want?” I ended up creating work that wasn’t true to me—and surprise, it didn’t connect with buyers either. Why? Because it lacked authenticity. The moment I stopped trying to be what I thought people wanted and started creating from my heart, things shifted. Buyers showed up. My work resonated. And most importantly, I felt good about what I was putting into the world. So here’s my advice: Stay true to your creative vision. Don’t let fear of rejection or outside expectations water down your magic. The right people—the ones who resonate with your work—will find you. Your uniqueness is your strength. Lean into it. Have you ever struggled with this? I’d love to hear your story—drop it below and let’s chat. 💛 And if you’re looking for a place to reconnect with your creative vision, Craftcation is the perfect space to do it. From inspiring workshops to supportive conversations with fellow creatives, it’s where you can dig into what makes your work yours and find the confidence to share it with the world. 🎟 Ready to grab your ticket? Comment TICKET and I’ll send you a direct link. Still thinking? Comment CRAFTY, and I’ll help you take a tour of all things Craftcation. 🧡 #smallbusinesssupport #smallbusinessadvice #reframingthoughts #creativementor
