I’ve been writing this blog for about three years. Want to know something awesome? A surprisingly large percentage of the people I first “met” in blogging about Etsy are still creating and selling online.
They still have Etsy shops. They still have blogs. They’re still going strong.
Some of them have had lots of sales and great success. Others have struggled a little more, yet they press on.
I admire anyone who is still creating and selling after three plus years. It shows so much about them and the heart that beats inside them.
- It shows they love what they do.
- It shows that they have heart and determination.
- It shows that they persist, learn, grow, and improve.
- It shows a true belief in the idea and future of the handmade movement.
- It pretty much just shows they rock!
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful {wo}men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated {people who continue to struggle}. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” John Calvin Coolidge

Press On!

Thanks! I needed a little pat on the back this morning, and that did the trick – now it’s back to work with me!
YA! We rock!! Thank you for being persistence, and writing helpful tips and blog posts :))
Thank you for such an encouraging post. I will keep pressing on 🙂
love the (little) edits! I am going on 3 years I think and it is so cool to see people that were starting when I started – I’m not the greatest success, but at least I am still “pluggin’ along”.
What a wonderful reminder! You can’t cross the finish line if you drop out of the race. I will continue to run, walk, and sometimes plod on…but I’m here to stay!
My husband lives by this saying, so I hear it all the time. I, too, am still “plugging along!” 🙂
Thanks for this uplifting blog post, just what I needed to hear. 🙂 Smiles, Paula
Thank you!
This post is very encouraging to me ..
This is ‘what I do for more than two years .. Resist and do not give up, because I desire to succeed.
I want my shop features!
Often it is difficult for me to continue this post and help me!
I stumbled upon this while I was googling etsy advice. Now I’m going to down my cup of coffee and get to work!
