Whew, that title was a mouth full lol.

I don't often talk about how I quit my corporate job to do Etsy full-time 3 years ago.  Maybe I should talk about it more, but it's really important for you to understand that it wasn't easy.  I never want to lead you astray and always want to be honest with you.   

Often times influencers position successes almost in a flaunty way and may talk about how easy it is for you to achieve the same success.

The truth is that it's possible sure, but not at all easy.  It took me years to even get close to the point of thinking about leaving my corporate job, then probably another year of planning to make the jump.

I wanted to do this episode for you in case this is your goal someday and take you through my thought process to help you.  Whatever you want your life to look like you can make it happen, but you have to start today.  I believe in you.  Consistent action will get you there.  

Are you...

This is the most boring episode of the podcast you'll hear!  LOL

Just kidding, don't let the title deceive you.  There's still a lot of really good nuggets in this episode.  While I'm not talking about the things most sellers get excited about such as sales, traffic, SEO, etc., these 5 things are also very important for Etsy sellers to consider.  

It's often that the "boring" less exciting stuff in your business will be the most impactful to your future success.
