A discussion in the forum this week is all about starting a craft business for full time employment. Should you depend on a start-up crafting business for a full time income or just as a part-time "hobby"? Well, at first many people find it difficult to depend on a start up business as a full time job. Remember it takes time to build up a customer list and a descent show circuit. It's always wise to keep your existing job while you build up your business. As the business starts to bring in a steady income, you can then spend less time at your "real job" and more time growing your business.
