One of the lessons I've learned is that doing it for the publicity may mean not doing other things that are for profit. Today I discuss how I've learned to do donate my time, services, and products in a way that maintains healthy boundaries, saves time, money, and truly publicizes my business.

Originally live-streamed Aug 9, 2023; this abridged version is Episode 18 of the Craft Leftovers Podcast.

And back! Whew, the first Livestream after the move. What a whirlwind. Made it here through a rainstorm! Giving you an update on why I took a long break, and then a longer than expected break. The clarifying nature of health scare. Recovery over a long time. And the falacity that is "balance".

What if you don't take breaks because you are so in love with what you are doing every day? Welp. Suck it up buttercup, you need a break too.

I’m borrowing today’s topic from a post I wrote back in 2010! Apparently (funny what we forget) I’ve been into talking about crafty business topics (aka small biz ownership topics) since near the beginning of my career.

Also note, I'm switching to the1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month and a new time! 1:30-2:00pm Central Stop by and ask me just about anything related to art, craft, and entrepreneurship.
