  • Do what makes you happy and of course money but always plan for a need to pivot. I started with a cricut in 2017 just to make myself tshirts with funny sayings since I was a 4x and wasn’t gonna pay $60 for someone to make me a shirt. I didn’t post to sell but somehow decals for our Jeep and shirts turned into making epoxy tumblers and growth so fast I burnt out. Covid hit and while I stayed with my cups I added boxes for holidays and then we pivoted to sublimation shirts and then 3D prints and automotive accessories and now my husbands auto stuff hs had to seperate from my business and his has just made more than my tumbler business made. When I started selling I refused to do a business that would take from my family. I worked for a tax company back then and managed to be green the first year, we made money didn’t lose any. Same for yr 2 and 3 but Covid crafters hit strong in tumblers and while mine are unique I saw signs soon enough to know we needed to pivot. Always have a backup plan that can be bigger than the first plan. And never stop researching your niche even when you think you have it down all small businesses grow with options and technology there’s no standing still


  • We currently switched to the Found card. The invoicing and services have been phenomenal compared to PayPal and square. After our high risk auto accessories business got flagged by square the same day I started the account with money deposited we tried us bank who kept allowing fraud. We tried boa but the merchant service side was lacking and PayPal again fraud when we traveled this past summer for business related. We had over $500 stolen and PayPal kept stating it was our fault and that the company used was one we had history with turned out we found I’d theft and even when providing proof to PayPal and cfpb PayPal still refuses to refund and they still won’t provide actual proof of our use of that company. So we switched to found and it’s been nothing but worth it! I have no issues and the one dispute we submitted against ranking coach was quickly resolved. Best support so far and you can create digital cards and ‘pockets’ it also allows auto save for taxes and you can note each incoming deposit plus it serrated business and personal spending smoothly.
