Today, I've only got two chores... 👉🏼Prepare my reed diffuser bottles for pouring (Clean the bottles and apply the vinyl logo & labels) 👉🏼Make more of my 9oz candles. So, I'll be in my basement...avoiding the sun today!! What's on your chore list today?

What's on your "To-Do" list today? I'm trying to finish off my room/ body sprays today...we'll see how far I get! 🤣 Have you got projects you really should finish? Are you procrastinating because you need to finish watching the latest Korean/Chinese Dramas on Netflix...(asking for a friend🥸) Let me know in the comments👇🏼

One of the things I've noticed over the years is that most of us are far better at spotting what still needs to be done than recognising what we've already accomplished. We finish one task and immediately move on to the next. We get accepted into a market and start worrying about preparing for it. We launch a new product and begin thinking about the next one. That's just part of running a business. 👉🏼What often gets missed is the progress happening in between. Maybe last week you completed something you've been putting off for months. Maybe you applied to a market that felt a little outside your comfort zone. Maybe you simply kept showing up and working on your business when life was busy and motivation was nowhere to be found. 📢Those things matter. Building a handmade business isn't usually about one big breakthrough. More often, it's a collection of small wins that quietly add up over time. I'd love to hear about one of yours. What's something that went well for you last week?

⌛I don't know about you, but this week seemed to fly by. One minute it was Monday and now we're somehow staring at the weekend already. Before everyone disappears into market prep, family time, product making or whatever you've got planned over the next couple of days, I'd love to hear how your week went. ⭐Was there something you accomplished that you're feeling good about? Maybe you finished a project, got accepted into a market, launched a new product, solved a problem that had been driving you crazy or simply made more progress than you realised while you were busy doing all the things. Sometimes we move so quickly from one task to the next that we don't stop to recognise how much we've actually achieved.🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️ So tell us, what was your win this week?

A warm welcome to our newest members Gloria, Debra, Helen, April and Rye!! I’m really glad you found your way into The Craft Market Collective.😁 Craft markets can feel a little overwhelming when you’re figuring everything out on your own. That’s exactly why this community exists. Vendors here share ideas, experiences and the little lessons we learn along the way. Since you’re here, we’d all love to know: What do you make or sell at markets? And if you’re comfortable sharing, what’s one thing about markets you’re hoping to get better at? Welcome again. I’m really happy you’re here. L.
