Welcome to the start of my exciting adventure into the world of starting a side business. For years, I’ve honed a variety of skills and gathered equipment, and now I’m ready to put them to good use. This blog is the first step in my journey of combining my passion for making things with my professional expertise, as I launch my own small business.
By day, I’m a Master Automotive Technician. I’ve spent countless hours under the hood, fixing and maintaining vehicles, using my hands and mind to solve complex problems. But when the sun sets and I clock out, I’m an avid hobbyist. From crafting small projects to 3D printing, I’ve always had a love for making things. Whether it’s tinkering with electronics, woodworking, or creating art pieces, there’s something incredibly rewarding about bringing an idea to life and watching it take shape.
I’ve often thought about how to share this passion with others—how to not just create for myself or close friends, but for the world. And that’s how the idea of starting an Etsy shop came to life. Through Etsy, I can combine my diverse skill set, the tools I’ve accumulated, and my creative instincts to share my work with people who will appreciate it. From etched glass to custom-made wooden keychains, the possibilities are endless.
One of the things I’m most excited about is the idea of spreading the joy of being a maker. I’ve always believed that creating something by hand is one of the most fulfilling activities you can do. It’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and find a connection to the world around you. And now, with the help of this blog and Etsy, I can share that sense of accomplishment with others.
The journey won’t be easy. There will be challenges and roadblocks, as with any new venture. But the thrill of trying something new, learning along the way, and ultimately building something meaningful from scratch is what keeps me going. If you’re reading this and thinking about starting your own creative business or side hustle, I encourage you to take the leap. The process of creation is worth it, no matter the outcome.
As I continue this journey, I’ll share my experiences, lessons learned, and the ups and downs of running a side business on Etsy. I hope to inspire others who have the same drive to create and share their passion with the world.
Thank you for joining me on this new chapter. Let’s make something amazing together!
Stay tuned for updates as I dive deeper into this creative adventure!
