Alicia Schaefer went from crafting in her kitchen to being a top seller on Etsy because she decided to treat her art like a real business. You also need to start before you feel ready. I missed out on a 40 million dollar deal for my software company because I was stuck trying to make everything perfect. ✎ You cannot build a business alone. I am an introvert and I used to be too scared to ask for help, which almost made my first company fail. You need to share your journey and find a community. Success also takes a lot of patience. My YouTube channel took five years just to get 2,000 subscribers, but I kept going because I wanted to help entrepreneurs. You have to stay connected to your purpose.
