    And 50 thousand people watched this video and I’m sure only about 10 will become successful. Be that 10!

    I’m just starting out on the business side of things with very little money. My philosophy is that as long as I keep making and selling I can build up from there. I refuse to believe I need a business loan!!

      I hear you! Some tricks I have are design and model in paper, then move the design to pleather, then when everything is looking good step up to a nice bit of tasty leather.

      Good for you. I have boot strapped my coffee roastery starting in my garage. I know have a cafe, 3 employees, and wholesale clients. It can me done. Your goals may differ but when you bootstrap your business and have a bad month you won’t lose everything.

    Thanks for making the video brother! I've finally gotten to a point where I feel comfortable moving forward with leather work and all your points help give me a more clear idea of what I should be doing, but also your personality man. Social media, sharing who you are and what your about is totally key and I intend to get my craft off the ground legit this year! Thanks, love all your work and videos, keep succeeding and stay blessed 🙏

    What I love about this video is that you're not scared of competition. You're telling me how to compete with you (which will take a while lol). This tells me that you're in love with the craft. I'm retiring soon and looking for a hobby to do with my wife who does sewing/quilting/embroidery. She does craft shows and doing them together "might" be fun.... Thanks. Really appreciate your inspiration.

This vid reinforced a lot of the things I've known I've needed to do and helped with some pricing info so thank you.

    Thank you so much for these tips. I'm in the process of trying to build up my inventory so that I can launch a metal hand engraving business soon. In addition to constantly thinking of new designs and "canvases" to engrave, I am always thinking about the logistics of selling my work. Even though it's a different type of art/work than yours, everything you mentioned really applies. A lot of good food for thought as I move forward. Thanks again!

    Great video! I love the info. you are sharing. It is very encouraging! I'm a camera geek too. ( Canon EOS 80-d ;P) I really do ;love that you are so open about your work. I know there are many leather workers out there who have intentionally tried to lead me astray, being that I'm new to this media. I've been a seamstress since middle school. And cooked since elem. school. I've tried 100's of things. But, have gotten bored by many things except the few I've mentioned. I have a son who is online a lot who has had people discouraging him from trying new things.( Things they profit from.) In my opinion, people like you make the world go round! There will always be a different way of doing things. Noone is going to make the exact same wallet, bag etc...unless they are into mass production. And even then there will be little differences. Keep up the good work! Your encouragement will always help someone! And that indeed is an amazing thing!
