Knowing your why's for running your own business helps you find focus and builds up your resilience and perseverance when times get tough. What are YOUR why's?
I've tried many platforms for selling my handmade jewelry in the last 10 years. Shopify has been the best and I regret not using them sooner. Here are my top reasons why I love them and recommend them to everyone!

Not every business has the business owner or designer be front and center on social media and other marketing platforms. Most people don't even know who I am, but they know Tiny Hands. The opposite is true for Creative Hive. So what about you? Should you be the face of your brand?
Stacey and I expand on the topic of filtering yourself again in this episode. This time, we ask: is your product your product or are YOU the product? Every business is different and how you brand and position it could mean you need to be at the front and center of social media, blog posts and other forms of marketing. Alternatively, your fans could never know who you are and still buy all your products. Which type of business are you?
