I feel the exact same way now as you felt in your starting years! Beating myself up for not working harder, smarter and all the time! This video is so relatable and made me feel normal! Thank you for sharing 👍
You have to give yourself peace. 💛 The work will never be completely "done" but that doesn't mean you should ever take on more than what is humanly possible. Give yourself a few big tasks a day and consider anything else you accomplish as a bonus. 🙂
Great reality check for me here. Thank you! I was stunned to hear you say it took you 5 years. That makes me realize how impatient I can be. Gotta work on that! :)
Yes! It takes a long time and a LOT of messing up. 😂 I actually started this channel to help people skip some of the "messing up" part so hopefully you can reach that point of sustainability a little faster than I did back when I first started. 💛
OMG great video! Everyone needs to hear this ….1000 of hours spent learning! If you work full time already this time learning is not only unpaid but done durning you off time!! I totally see why so many give up!!
It is definitely hard but there are a lot of great ways to learn while keeping busy. I listened to a lot of audio books while doing housework, cooking dinner, etc. Multi-tasking is a busy business owner's best friend. 💛
Thank you for the tips. Hopefully, soon I will be able to quit my 9-5 job and focus more on my POD store. PS. Please do some cleaning in the comments and delete these spammers. Thanks!
#5 could have been #1 and even be the only tip one needs. If you are not passionate about what you're doing, you'll ultimately fail. Tips #1 through #4 don't happen unless you are passionate about your endeavor. Having said that, passion can die so you need to seriously ask yourself if diving in is really what you want to do. Don't think with your emotions. That's easiest way to convince yourself of something. Passion is what makes people successful. Whether you start your own business or work your way up in someone else' business. As my grandpa told me when I was a teenager (some 50 years ago), if you don't like what you do, it's just work.
So on point! Haha facts, on facts. It feels crazy to learn so much and apply it to then realize you really don't know much at all, there's always so much more to learn imo that's the best part 🔥💯
Exactly!!! Many people see it as a negative thing but it's actually super exciting when you realize that there's no limit to what you can learn in the age of the internet. People 50 years ago didn't have the ability to jump on TH-cam and learn a complex skill. 💛
There's really no answer to this. Profit percentages are something that you need to decide for yourself, as a seller. I recommend watching this video for additional tips about pricing: th-cam.com/video/am4g1LSJEgY/w-d-xo.html
Starting with premium isn't necessary. I don't personally use premium. Fees will be completely dependent on the specific product, as Printify does not actually print anything. They are a company made up of multiple smaller brands and each will have its own set of print costs.

Great video!!!!!!!
Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
True.. before I started Etsy I spent hours days, months to research, learn..and take a jump..and understand that it's marathon not sprint.
Thanks for the info, Starla. I have lots of friends wanting to go on their own and I'm sending them here.
Listening to this while doing my 20 minute daily walk 💕
Yes!!! I always listen to audio books, business podcasts, etc., while walking, doing housework, etc! 💛
I didn't realize books can be a business expense! Currently have some in a cart... Thank you!
Yes!!! Just be sure to always document them under "education" and make sure they are relevant to your business. 🙂
I still miss Starla’s keys, and I regret not buying one before Swarovski stopped supplying to the general public.

Block Advisors is the name of the tax preparation company she recommends for small businesses.
Hi,what is the best Profit percentage should i make when i have a sell?
There's really no answer to this. Profit percentages are something that you need to decide for yourself, as a seller. I recommend watching this video for additional tips about pricing: th-cam.com/video/am4g1LSJEgY/w-d-xo.html
Hi, should i use printify premium on the beginning of my etsy shop? And if you know what is the fee that printify charge? Thanks
Starting with premium isn't necessary. I don't personally use premium. Fees will be completely dependent on the specific product, as Printify does not actually print anything. They are a company made up of multiple smaller brands and each will have its own set of print costs.
