035: 3 Things I Learned From My Etsy Shop Side Hustle

Some of you may know that I have an Etsy shop. No, it’s not where I sell my website templates or anything related. It’s a totally separate thing from my business. It’s my side hustle! Today, I’m diving into 3 big lessons I’ve learned from running this Etsy shop. This is not an episode about running an Etsy shop business, it’s an episode about having a creative outlet in your life. I hope this episode will inspire you to get started creating something fun outside of your day to day work. 

And, if you’ve been wondering “What is this Etsy shop Elizabeth talks about sometimes?!” — here’s your answer! I’m diving into what I sell, the story of how I started it, and what this shop has taught me about my main design business. It’s fun, and full of life lessons!
