Ok people. Let’s have a heart to heart. I know that pricing formula scares the s**t out of you. I see you see that price and get sticker shock, and I watch you as the first reaction is: “Well I’ll just cut out the profit margin.”
PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! If you want to succeed you MUST have a profit margin.
Why? Because you’re running a business and you need to pay the bills.
Why? Because you’re whole business is not all production time.
Why? Because you deserve to make some mother effing MONEY.
I’ve got a whole checklist for you to go over in my latest blog of the items that profit margin IS paying for and why you CANNOT cut it. Click the link in my bio and read my latest blog post on WHY you need a profit margin - cause ps - YOU DO NEED IT TO HAVE A PROFITABLE BUSINESS!

Since I've become the mockingjay to pricing your handmade, I figured I would add to it. If you haven't read my post on how to price hand-made: CLICK HERE. So let's go into the WHY. WHY we are using these formulas. WHY do we need a profit margin. WHY aren't we selling at our wholesale cost. Let's refresh our memories on the formulas I love and hate. [ 804 more words ]

JUST THE TIP TUESDAY 🍆
Stop seeking advice from friends who aren’t in your situation. Aka who aren’t business owners.
Too many times we rely on people who don’t understand how to run a business. We reach out to our best friends and bounce ideas off them even if they may not understand and aren’t our target market. They will be guessing just as much as you are, and may be giving you advice that is detrimental to your business and your business decisions.
Surround yourself with people that can help guide you in the right direction. Sure those friends are amazing and your friends for a reason, but they don’t always get the stuff you’re going through. Don’t get yourself in the situation of resenting your friend because they gave you uneducated business advice.
Who do you turn to when you need advice?

U.S.P. Wtf is that? I'll tell you: It's your Unique Selling Point and it's hella important. U - Unique S - Selling P - Point It sounds big and scary, but it's actually quite simple. It's what makes you you, and what makes your company different from your competition. It's what sets you apart. We've all been in the car listening to the radio when we hear an onslaught of commercials come on. [ 348 more words ]

NEW BLOG ALERT 🚨
“Stop Living By your Numbers + Stop Sharing Them”
You got me folks. I’m bad at this. I put way to much weight into the numbers. The likes, the followers, the views, the Etsy sales etc and it’s my goal to STOP doing this. Are you like me too? If so, I’ve written a blog/rant about why this has to stop, and three things I tell myself whenever that number comparison rears it’s ugly head.
While we’re at it can we just talk about the number bragging? It’s got to stop too. Let’s cut that s**t off. We don’t need to keep telling people our business intel just to get likes and to feel better about ourselves, cause in retrospect it only does harm to us and others 👌🏼

With numbers floating around constantly, it's hard to ignore them. They weasel their way into our lives appearing to make it black and white of who is "better" and who is "worse." What purpose do those numbers have in real life though... or signify? If those numbers disappeared, would you be a different person? Would you lead a different life? So here's a rant, and a few things to think about when you start the # comparing game. [ 758 more words ]
