@lovechloejane: EVERYONE gave me this advice 🥲 This week's episode of @The Sunshine Project explores the yearning to stay 'small' in a world obsessed with growing and scaling and being the biggest and the best - its on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and I hope you love listening to it x #SmallBusiness #dowhatyoulove #creativebusiness #shopsmall #lovelocal #heartled
There’s a story basically goes; a rich man sees a man fishing by the water and has a chat, suggests getting a boat and selling the fish then after however many years he will be rich enough to do whatever he wants. The man replies I would just want to sit by the water and fish, and spend time with my family, why should I wait?

It’s a scam, making money and capitalism is a scam. Do what makes you happy and small and kind ❤️

in a world that preys upon convincing us that we can never have enough, never be enough etc, "I have enough" is such a beautiful, radical statement. ❤️

I completely agree! I intentionally limit my production of my pottery even though I know I could turn it into a full time, very successful career. My worst nightmare is my art becoming stressful because of money and demand. The money and growth just isn’t worth it when your love and passion is what drives you!

I think the world tells us that we can’t be content without constantly seeking more and more, but that’s what makes true contentment like what you describe so special!

As someone who runs a handmade clothing business, I resonate with this wholeheartedly. The entire point of what I do is keeping the love of the craft alive ❤️

GIRL YES. I made a “small business owner” sticker years ago and had some investment bro comment on it with “why is that a good thing? Don’t you wanna be a big business owner one day?” Literally absolutely 100% no, my guy. I want a sustainable, slow, and happy life?? His comment still baffles me.

not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur! I'm the same. I just want enough money to live a comfy life, nice house and a holiday once or twice a year and Im good

Sam | Avonlea Cottage Gardens :
Yes, this! The whole point is the love and intention that is crafted. And sometimes people like us don’t do things for money, but for the joy it brings us

This is exactly how I feel!! I scaled up and lost all the joy of it, so I scaled it right back down to just me 🩵

So many people tell me I should focus more on selling my crochet stuffies. And I’m like no thank you it’s a hobbie of a friend ask I’m happy to make it. But I don’t want to hate my hobby

This is me 1000% I am growing flowers and selling a few bits and pieces to sell at my offices at in a little stand just for my mental health. I don’t want it to take off I just want it to justify my puttering.

My hubby’s a mechanic and has been offered multiple times to be promoted to workshop manager. He’s turned it down every time cos he became a mechanic to be on the tools fixing shit, not to work on computers.

It really is “No, I want to do it, and don’t want other people doing it for me” they don’t get the love of being creative 🌸

I’ve been thinking about doing a little baking business as a side hustle & I totally agree. I’d mostly do it for fun and cause I love baking, I don’t want someone else to do it or turn it into a big thing (if I was to do that)
