Etsy has been the main way I've earnt my living for some time now. My business has been slow to build but it fits well around the children, I have a built and designed a good range of products and put a lot of effort into what I do.
But each year we'd go away and I'd put my shop on holiday mode, which was great as there is no hassle, but it would mean a big gap in my sales. I decided to try a different method this time and have had great success.
Let me know how you deal with time away if you run your own business
When I was working on a daily basis, I used to dream about building projects out of wood as a retirement income source. Funny how when I stopped working, my life seemed to only get busier and I find myself doing less woodworking that I would like to. In fact, I can barely scratch things off the "for family" list much less entertain offers for paying customers.
