I got my 100th sale last January 15th. The reality of being able to earn some money while doing the thing I love hit me hard this month. I was stubborn enough to quit my engineering job in Singapore (with good pay) and chose to stay home with the kids, earning nothing, for years. While I did have the dreams of working on something that I love from home, with the kids, I was often uncertain of the possibility that it could be done soon. Faith keep me going, and my husband provides his constant support... and here I am. While I'm not earning as much as other wonderful sellers in Etsy, I have earned something. The most valuable were the wonderful heartwarming feedback I got from my customers. I've gone farther than I used to dream of going. I am thankful for that.
I've been sleeping a lot less nowadays, but I've been feeling a lot happier too.
Go for your dream. If you can dream it, you can do it. :)

So sweet Fei.... *hiks hiks*
ReplyDeleteAs I said before, you've been an inspiration for me. Never even try to dream I could earn decent enough income from things I love.
Week ago, hubby brought home a Macbook Pro! A gift for me, he said, to do your design work. Yeah, that's how he showed his support. So, I pack my suitcase, try to pick up the pieces of my once shattered dream.
Thank you for your spirit. It was really contagious. ;)
