how to get out of a slump as a small business owner

[@notaddi3]

Hi! I’m still in middle school, going on Highschool, and am just starting up my business! I’ve made all the inventory and got permission to sell at craft fairs! I’m hoping to sell my boba earrings in our towns boba shop! Thanks so much for the tips and for sharing your experiences and expertise! ❤❤

[@Reindeer_jay]

Oh my gosh! Watching an old video from you (cause I adore your content) and I think it's so ironic that the scent that got you out of a funk is now your big seller! Amazing how just moving forward, not overthinking, and taking care of yourself can result in amazing things ❤️ Thank you for sharing such open and honest content.

I can relate 100% every winter I feel the need to to hibernate and I get too much in my head. Thank you for talking about this.

It may help to talk to a medical professional about this. This is called seasonal depression.

Girl. You don’t have the education but you have a natural gift of knowing wats gonna sell. Wats popular. Trust yourself. Trust your instincts !!! You’re Awsum !!! Keep making !!! You’re very good at it !! Look forward to all your videos. !!!!

Strangely though I do not mind candles that have a masculine fresh scent , especially if you are a owner of cats or dogs having a strong scented candle is always a hit even without animals . I love a good candle that can make my home or space smell good 😊

Definitely don't beat yourself up about being self taught. If you have gotten this far without some sort of extra schooling, then it is because you have a passion for it, and that is wonderful! Whatever you are using to teach yourself is working. My sister and her husband built themselves a house. Neither of them had done anything like that before, but they had a passion for their project, and it turned out amazing. And what did they do when they weren't sure how to proceed? They looked it up on KZbin! Here you can get insight from so many people who know so much. So keep learning in whatever way suits you best! As far as the whole slump thing goes, please remember that seasonal affective disorder is just depression that happens in the winter. You may find it helpful to see a medical professional about this. However, your mindset about how to deal with it is so healthy. If you feel you are managing fine, don't worry about it too much. If you do want to do something about it, though, don't wait until winter. Sorry this turned into such a long comment! Love your content!

Hi Monica, you are doing good things, don't over look yourself. Keep up the good work.

[@monicarazak]

So kind! Thank you so much:)

Thank you for this video. It May and I'm in a slump. I need so much inventory, thank you cards, biz cards, table, tent. I sell a bit where I work and I have my business pics. But sales are not coming! Not sure what my question is..lol. but I learned a lot with this video. Keep up the good work!!😊

Loved this 👏 I have a cricut and kind of assumed it would be more expensive to make stickers myself for my product so have been buying them. I need to do my sums to see if I should be making mine. Yours look so good!

[@monicarazak]

I like making stickers with my cricut because I tend to change my mind often about styling, fonts, colors etc so it's not worth buying stickers in bulk knowing that I'll get sick of the design lol

[@Reindeer_jay]

@@monicarazak that makes sense! 🙂

[@willowsgateboutique]

Heyy! I’m in Tampa! Super cute outfit for pirate fest. Would love to meet you there!

What printer do you use for your labels? They look so crisp!

[@monicarazak]

I use an HP Tango! I definitely want to upgrade to a better heavy duty printer though.

[@joymariehoch7662]

Monica Do you do this full time or do you work a full time job as well. I’m trying to figure how to work and do these fairs as well.

[@monicarazak]

I work a 9-5 job as well!! It’s definitely difficult at first but with some time management and determination, you can definitely do it:)

[@brittanybauer2110]

I thought I was the only one not doing more for my small business.

[@monicarazak]

It happens to all of us

[@bcblues-x2l]

I know you probably named your candle but you could name it Tampa.
