I’ve always wondered if this is what I’m supposed to do. Am I wasting my time making miniatures here? Am i making the right decision to make this my career? Am I worthy enough, am I doing all these right?
These are the thoughts that often “attack” me while I’m rushing work. (Yup when I’m at my busiest, sigh) Of all moments, I had to be thinking of all these, feeling blue…
Being a business owner alone ( I don’t really like to call myself like that, feels like I’m just selling stuff without any effort haha) things can get messy and I get tired easily. From replying emails > dealing with clients > Making the minis > Promoting my brand > Packaging > Shipping > Designing > Managing website> everything, I have to do all of them.
Sometimes I do wish I have a boss, so I can avoid bigger responsibilities and I have someone to lean on, I’m just tired.
I always talk to my peers with my problems, and this is exactly what happened LOL. I really wish I could feel happy all the time, but I’m just human (cues music)
Then my friends said, don’t compare myself to others.
Yup, very true, I know I shouldn’t be doing this but I get influenced by the pressure every time! And every time I pull myself back on track, *I can breathe again*
“Do not compare yourself with others. Comparison is the thief of joy. Find your own sky to fly on.” – I love doodle
I guess it’s normal to feel all these emotions, a few of my friends who own their handcraft business told me they get these feeling all the time too. (Okay at least I’m not alone, I don’t feel so lunatic anymore)
Till then,
your work is incredible! i’ll tell you what is a waste of time (and money) – buying polymer clay and doing nothing with them until they turn hard lol (that would be me). you have talent and i hope people will be interested in your products! Will look out for you at the Pop up market if i manage to attend 🙂
Eee thank you 😉
Come see me! haha 😀
