The February magazine issue is live!
We are so excited to publish this month’s magazine issue because both featured sellers showed such great determination in building their businesses AND growing personally at the same time. Personal growth goes hand-in-hand with growing any business. Natalie from The Painted Press shares how she grew her business to over 24,900 sales on Etsy by partnering with college and high school students which pushed her into learning leaderships skills at a very young age. Oh yeah, did we mention that she was only 18 at the time?? What an ambitious artisan!
