When you are just starting your business, it’s easy to get caught up thinking you’re too small to compete, make an impact or that no one is watching. I’ve had many great reminders over the years that you never know who’s browsing, buying or reading your goods! I’ve also heard great stories from successful entrepreneurs on how they faked it ’till they made it! The smart ones are doing it, why not you?!

If it’s just you and your dog right now - no one needs to know! It’s about wowing every customer whether you have 1, 10 or a million. It’s about showing your vision and best work. Being so good they can’t ignore you. It’s about standing proud and strong among the big players because you’re building something remarkable too.

“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.” - Maya Angelou
