Episode 3: Start Messy, Start Small — But Start

Summary

Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of starting your handmade business? You’re not alone — and you don’t need a master plan to begin. In this episode, Kathleen breaks down how to start simple, follow your passion, and take imperfect action toward your creative goals.

You’ll hear about:

• Why you don’t need a niche to begin

• How to break through “vision paralysis”

• A simple 3-part checklist to start selling

• The real first step (hint: it’s not a website)

• Encouragement to start before you’re “ready”

Takeaway: You’re allowed to begin with just one thing — one product, one post, one brave moment of action.
