What a great video! I love how honest and informative it is.

Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom. I have been toying with the idea of growing my slightly profitable hobby into an actual retirement business and you gave me a lot to consider.

This is really excellent, thank you. And so interesting to watch you work! Great stuff and about the right length video.

[@blueshirtmonday]

Could we get this in a podcast? Love Nick's business talk!

[@hemlockandhyde]

Thanks for watching/listening! We're going to try to put a video out about once a week. If there's enough demand for a podcast format, never say never.

[@dsleathercraft]

very helpful. i bet you could talk about this subject for hours

[@hemlockandhyde]

Glad it was helpful, I definitely could. There are so many moving parts to running your own business and everyone's situation is unique so the possibilities are endless! That scares some people but I find it exciting.

Thank you.😊

I would have stabbed that beveler smooth through my hand if I ran it towards my hand like you were! :) You have very steady and sure hands ma'am!! Great job!

[@hemlockandhyde]

safety first! That's one of the more difficult bags to bevel since there are so many angles and edges.

[@MrFullcount13]

@@hemlockandhyde 😀 No doubt!

Im a hobbiest and want to start moving it into a business direction but their is so much to take on board and where exactly to start its very frustrating

[@hemlockandhyde]

that makes sense. It can be a lot to take in. I think for a lot of people it matters less where you start and more about just making small bits of progress. Small improvements in what you already do can yield better results. One small change at a time.
