The podcast is finished
Season 1 of the Hobby to Hustle Podcast has ended. I want to give a big shout out to my co-host Candace for not only being a lovely co-host, but editing most of the episodes in the season. She's a gem! It was only a year or so ago that I pitched the idea to Candace so it's really cool to be looking back a year later to see that we not only went ahead, but have wrapped up a whole season. We hope that you've loved it. Hit reply and let us know your fave episode, and don't forget to leave a review if you haven't done so already! If you haven't listened yet, listen here:

Some may argue that emailing to such a small audience is a waste of time. I disagree - it builds...
With business there will be ups and there will be downs. When you experience a quiet sales period in your business, it's easy to feel that your business is failing or headed downhill but it's not - it's either a temporary dip or it's an off-peak season. For example, I found myself spiralling a little during the last couple of years come summertime when it was a struggle to sell tickets to my workshops. I thought, clearly I'm doing something wrong.
