Comments on: The Skeletons in my Closet… https://www.bmichellepippin.com/the-skeletons-in-my-closet/ because business success is more strategy than secret Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:39:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: Andrea Harper Kuznicki https://www.bmichellepippin.com/the-skeletons-in-my-closet/#comment-941 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:39:45 +0000 http://www.bmichellepippin.com/?p=992#comment-941 I’m rebelling with you! Makes me proud of a very little thing I did today… stopped in at a local artisan center that I live 10 minutes from, to see about consigning my quilts there. And they want me to teach a quilting class too!! Because I swallowed my FEAR, my “I don’t have time”, all those excuses…

Also, the most wonderful opportunity for my quilting and sewing business has taken place because I finally rebelled against the “what if” fear and emailed the sales and marketing director of the first legal moonshine distillery in South Carolina; I’d read a newspaper article and there was a short mention in there of locally made crafts, and I immediately thought “MY QUILTS!!”. Now, the place is opening next week, and is on the best street in town, with foot traffic of an estimated 1200 people a day walking by… and they are exclusively carrying my quilts!!

So keep at it, you never know what direction your business can go in if you don’t let FEAR sabotage it!!!

I’m also posting a link to this on my blog, it was so helpful to me and got me thinking 🙂

It’s much like a low-grade fever. Saps your energy and indicates something’s off-kilter but is often tolerated because it’s not a screaming pain. You’re hitting a common pain-point here. Great post.
