This episode marks the beginning of a special series dedicated to our geeky small business owners.
Each week for the next (?) weeks, we’re chatting with fellow nerdy business owners about the behind the scenes of running their brands. Our hope is to help each other prepare for the holiday season and feel less alone in this chaotic journey of entrepreneurship.
First up is Rose del Vecchio, co-founder of FanMailBox and Charmed: Box of Shadows.
In this episode Rose and I discuss the different forms our business ownership has taken: as a hobby, as a full time job, and as a side gig while working various hourly/salaried positions.
We talk about the difficulties in trying to have enough time and energy to do *everything* as well as the perceived shame in not running your business full time.
I hope this conversation is helpful to anyone trying to navigate how to pay themselves while also following their dreams. And if there’s anything specific you’d like us to cover in this series, please let me know!
Have a great week, and stay nerdy.
