in , ,

Can we talk about something? Grab your beverage of choice and get cozy!

A lot of businesses have launched during the pandemic. (Mine is one of them, even though it seems kind of weird to call my small side hustle a business, but technically, it is.)

I’m sure if you’ve read through a few blog posts on here, you’ve probably figured out by now that my love and appreciation for Creative Market is real.

So far I’m halfway through it - to be specific, I’m about to start reading Chapter 6 - but before I do that, I thought I would share a few things, or lessons, that have stuck out to me as I’ve been making my way through it.
