Hello there!
I am happy to be able to point you over to my very own Business Lady post which is up on Design Sponge today. Please hop over and take a look!
It's a list of ten tips for cottage-industry and tiny business owners, like myself and many of my friends, to make the holiday season go as smoothly as possible, and I hope it's at least a little bit helpful.
Truthfully, it's still a surprise to me that people ask for my advice, or consider me a Business Lady. But I realized as I was thinking up these tips that I have accumulated some bits of advice here and there (usually through trial-and-error, or whatever way is the hardest way to learn things). I've often felt woefully unsuited for the business-y side of things, because I always thought of myself as an impractical, dreamy creative. Through the aforementioned trial-and-error, paying attention to what works and what doesn't, and with a great deal of reliance on simple intuition, I've learned so much.
It has been a neat and surprising process to see over the last five years that, slowly but surely, I've become an unsuspecting business lady - in my own small, funny way.
