thats the one and only thing I am not able to make :(

I loved the vid, but be careful everyone. The "learn as you go" route can land you in a lot of hot water if you're not someone who keeps track of every single purchase/expense/sale, and even if your state has regulations against certain things. A lot of times you have to register your business name with your state or file certain forms to allow you to sell in person or online (and yes, selling in person vs online are two separate things with different forms). Please do your research before opening up your own personal finances to liability and the possibility of problems with the IRS when tax season is upon you and you have no clue what you're doing. This lady has a whole agency to help her so that might be why she brushed over it as a non-issue, but please please do the research in terms of legality and taxes because it only takes one irate customer to bankrupt you. Goodness forbid you sell a small item without any warnings, a kid chokes on it, and now you're open to being sued and are responsible for the harm caused. Call your state and local tax offices and ask questions if you can't find the answers you're looking for online!

I had the same thought. I have a small business and live in Germany. Without research, I would have a lot of legal problems. I also have to have a packaging license just to send out orders. Also, as a business, I am not allowed to use every trendy sound on Instagram as well. There was quite a lot of research I had to do. But it pays off. Now I can make art without worrying about any legal things since I took care of it in the beginning.

"By fairly pricing your product, you're also attracting an audience that ultimately you want to keep." This resonated with me a lot. I'm one of those that feel bad when pricing my items.

The God who created the universe, who created you, who sent His son Jesus to die on a cross for you and rose again from the grave, that same amazing God loves you and wants to take care of you. He is so good and I have seen Him show His love and care in my own life and others, and like He says in the Bible He would love to take care of you too❤

I was a sculptor, also with oven baked clays, of course my sculps were slightly larger at 1/6 scale, mostly Marvel/DC. It took me a week to create one-of-a-kind art pieces. I tried to sell but couldn't find the audience willing to pay for my time. I progressed into cake decorating with modeling chocolate and have killed it in that area. Sometimes you have to tweak your talent to meet the needs of your audience. Thank you for showing me it could be done......

fr same....just making 10 of the same crochet item burns me out

I've watched a lot of "how to start a business" vids in the past and while they all inspired me they also left me with an impending feeling of dread and panic. Your video was so calming and was like the reassurance I needed to just start, nomatter what stage you're at, without overcomplicating things. It was also so so nice to see your old videos, because it shows you don't need the 4k perfect lighting setup to begin, you can always get to that later if you want and "learn as you go"

Hey Beautiful, I just wanted to shoot you a huge thank you and a few other things. I don't normally feel compelled to comment, but the way you did this video was absolutely perfect and I think your products are adorable! I hope that you know you've made a huge impact on at least one person, but I know you've impacted many. I'm not even going for the same art style you're doing, but you spoke to all of us and took half the world off our shoulders, or at least me. I've been putting off my business ideas for probably close to a decade now, slowly trying to get back into it recently when I found this video. Because of you, I feel so much more at peace and confident to just, GO FOR IT. So thank you, for all of us uncomfy people! You're amazing, keep nailing it ❤

Wow when you said “I was motivated by fear” that really resonated with me 🥺 it’s amazing how powerful it can be to acknowledge something like that so I can be intentional about working on that for myself. I’m so glad I found your little corner of KZread!

i really liked your answer tothe 'pricing' question, because what some people forget is, that no one forces you to buy stuff out of your price-ange. you can also silently support, by following or commenting :) or just click away if you don't like the contet you're seeing. :)

“I don’t have to seek trends I just make what I wanna make” brilliant babyyy

As someone who went to art school but hasn't had the courage/made the effort to do it for a living out of fear, I really appreciated this video. ❤

"if you think im awkward NOW?!" 😭😭 that spoke to my soul lmao you wouldn't have wanted to see me ten years ago!! 😭

As an animal care enthusiast aspiring to be vet student someday, it makes me so so so so soooo happy to see you switch from kibble to gently cooked meat based food for you doggo. This is going to be so great for their health and coat! Love to see you supporting great brands like farmers dog :)

I had once my online shop with stationery and the biggest problem I had was marketing - I thought it would be super easy and quick just to put some photos to Instagram etc but it was super overwhelming after a few weeks. Next time I would plan differently the whole social media part :

Marketing wether done on the cheap using social media, etc (time suck) or paid advertising (expensive) is so so over-looked by newbies and must be factored into the cost of doing art business. It adds to the cost of products, but all businesses have to do it.

I just binged like 5 of your videos and I’m feeling so inspired!! 😭😭 I’ve been in an art block for like 6 years and I hate it so much!! I feel like I’m getting old slowly reaching my mid thirties and the fact that I stopped creating has been eating away at me so much lately.. but I also struggle so hard to really commit. These videos are super motivating and I hope to one day feel assured and comfortable in my craft as you. 🥹 Your home is beautiful and it’s so easy to lose sight and be thankful for the things we have.

Funny thing about that advice at 2:00 it works in other medias too, I struggled with writing for a long time because there w as so many dos and dont's and yatta yatta, that I spent a few months just telling myself why A, B, and C was wrong. Sometimes you just gotta do it, I never knew there was a such thing as "knowing too much" but when it hinders your creativity, then yeah, some of that information has to be scrapped in your brain so you can enjoy yourself and your work.

Thx for your openness and kindness and authenticity and support. ❤

14:07 I think many people struggle to realize that including me, because that is a fact. It's the first video I watched from this channel, and I'm so glad that I find it.

This is such a beautiful video. Beautifully edited, beautiful dialogue, beautiful insights and information. So helpful and I feel like you really care about Uncomfy audience! Thank you for taking your time to make this video that will help so many people❤

What a beautiful life you have carved for yourself. May the spirits of inspiration forever whisper in your dreams.

...and yet...there is no one like you. You fonstand out from the others. Your kindness and intelligence and calm, and things you exude subconsciously that we dont even acknowledge. You are magnetic.

3:39 you made me cry. And I feel like the Universe send "angels" in your way when you need them. So I found you now, my personality is like yours, like I'm introverted and I tend to have anxiety and I am in the process of my freelance business life as an artist. Your videos are encouraging.

Oh my Gosh! I just bought that book a couple months ago! The universe is really taking care of us! ❤This video is probably one of the best videos I’ve seen to help people start a small business. Thank you for your beautiful spirit and kindness. You are such an amazing inspiration to us!

I even struggle to watch videos of people talking about how to make your art work for life or how to get out of a creative rut. I’ve been doing the healing everyday but still feel shut off creatively. Your voice is so soothing and your presence is providing immense comfort that I haven’t felt in forever ❤ thank you for sharing and I’m so happy the universe is caring for you! 🤗 May you continue to have abundance and your cute puppy too!

Oh my goodness, I definitely resonate with your second tip! I was so anxious of making mistakes when I first started out that I spent a whole year doing research, and in the end I knew I'll never truly have it all figured out unless I just get started.

tips: -start while you have stability, it takes time to build a brand or build up your quality and doing so when you are still in school or still working a corporate job means you have stability. any income earned from this period it just a bonus. -if your work is part of your passion (like art) it can quickly turn into burnout, try to do something in line with your work for fun, like make a clay sculpture from leftovers as a challenge in your free time. DON’T sell it. you need a clear boundary and this will set it for you. ❤
