    Hi! Love this video. While I do agree that having a clear picture on what you’re selling and why helps a lot, I feel like it is necessary to change and evolve as time goes on. I personally, have changed so many things since starting my small business, and yes it takes so much time, but I feel its only improving the results Im seeing.

    That’s a great video Emma. I’m sure I have undiagnosed ADHD and this really resonates with me. I have started a small craft business and my biggest problem is starting too many things and getting so distracted by new ideas that I don’t finish them. I think I have to figure out how to use planning like you. 💜🌞

      Thank you! I’ve come across so many neurodivergent people in the small biz community - maybe because we’re creative and also traditional employment doesn’t work for us for different reasons. I actually have a video coming out tonight about things I wish I did sooner in my business, and I talk about accepting I can’t do it all - so you might be interested in that. I’m terrible for taking on more than I can really handle because I have so many ideas and things I want to do! But I’m getting better at it ❤️

    Hello Emma, first of all thank you for sharing your story with us. I watched every minute of this video and it feels like a friend is talking to me. I live alone and doesn't really socialize much (due to busy sched) and doesn't have anyone to share my love for stationery and stuff. So many parts of your story resonates w/ me-- especially the part of so many things we want to do at once but also it's impossible. 🤣 I will definitely try to apply all the methods you shared in this video. One step at a time. :) I hope 1 day I could also be able to do the things I love. All the best for you, your family and your business! ☀🩷

    I have severe allergies with asthma. I've lost track of how many times I'd been hospitalized. The pandemic was the best thing that happened to me. I got laid off and I was told to stay isolated for my health. I also discovered a different way of eating and lost 55 pounds. I discovered the beauty of how much better I felt and my mental health soared! Now I'm semi-retired and self-employed. I haven't been hospitalized since 2018. I've resolved just about all my health issues except the allergies. If you are miserable and always sick something is wrong. I've started a small business but since I'm older I'm being very deliberate so I don't over extend both physically, mentally, and financially. Starting over in your 60's is a challenge.

    • @SunshineLaneUK
      @SunshineLaneUK 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      That’s such a good way to look at it actually! I think we’ve normalised being miserable and sick to a certain extent and don’t take it for the warning sign it is. That plus there often feels like there isn’t another path to take. It sounds like you’ve had an amazing transformation! You should be so proud. It also sounds like you have a really good approach making sure you look after yourself xx

    We welcomed home our little boy last June through adoption when he was 11 months old. I took a year off work and it was during that time that I actually started my small business for the exact same reasons you were saying: it fits so well around family life and allows me to spend more time at home with the baby we waited so long for! You've got this! It's a massive culture shock, so be kind to yourself and just take each day as it comes as it'll take time for you both, as well as your little one, to get used to this new life, but it's so worth it!

    I’m so happy for you Emma. I’m sure you will settle into being a new Mummy. I’m sure your Mum will be able to give you loads of tips. I watch a TH-cam video of a Woman called Megan Fox unlocked, she’s in the states and has 4 young Children and she does a great job of running her business from home as well as being a full time homemaker. It’s definitely worth watching her if you haven’t seen her before. Wishing you all the best Hun xxx
