When I first started my sewing business, I thought my biggest struggle would be finding paid work.I doubted that I could find enough clients to pay me to sew for them, which was actually a reflection of how I viewed my trade… little did I know, my biggest lessons and struggles I would have over the next four years actually all related to growth, and how I would cope with it.Fast forward to four years of lessons, mistakes, windfalls, nightmares, and insane amounts of plot twists and growth, and I can confidently say that the four lessons I’m sharing with you come with a lot of thought and retrospect.While it feels like year 40, I now have a good handful of gray hairs, a few annoying regrets, enough perspective to sink a ship, and so much gratitude for the journey and love for the process. But four years in and I’m just now starting to figure a few things out. I've made this list of four things I’ve learned about launching and growing a sewing company in four years.
