IT'S BEEN MY EXTREME PLEASURE TO MEET *CUREHACK ON INSTAGRAM* HE HAS HELP ME GET BACK MY UNSUSPENDED *ETSY ACCOUNT* WITHIN AN HOUR HE'S LEGIT AND TRUSTWORTHY HACKER, DM HIM NOW AND THANK ME LATER 🌹,
Every word of this was so wise and relevant. Thank you for content that speaks to small business owners far and wide. There's something very surreal about all being in this together.
Very surreal indeed!
Awesome post. Reflecting on this almost a year later, and it is still excellent advice. You are a born leader. Very inspiring, and steadying.
Thank-you for the kind words, Saskia! Great to hear the content is still valuable to you after all this time.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This has been on my mind; the difference between seizing an opportunity and being opportunistic and you have resolved that in my mind. The best rating I could give was just a thumbs up, but if there were stars, this would be six; one over the normal. Your comments about marketing ourselves differently spoke volumes to me. I'd been needing to hear this and it took this crisis to do that.
While I've been making masks for a local nursing home, free of charge of course, I realize other ways how I can put those masks to use. Thank you for giving me the chutzpah to move forward.
" I'd been needing to hear this and it took this crisis to do that. " YES! This is something positive to come out of all this :-)
More than ever, Deb, I appreciate very much your down to Earth approach to things. Hope you and your loved ones are well. Look after yourself.
Thank you Marta, I appreciate that! Stay safe

These days I've been nervous because of this covid 19. thank you so much deb. this has really helped me. I'm from Sri Lanka.
Thank you for watching!
Solid advice! At this time I really will be focusing on bringing the ruckus with my content!

Thank you so much Deb! This has really helped me. It is just what I needed to hear and has answered a lot of questions I had pertaining to my shop! Stay safe and healthy...and yes: CUT BACK ON THE NEWS! : ) Love ya.
Most welcome Amy and thank you! You'll be happy to know I have only checked the news once so far and it's already 6PM. I miiight be about to check again but that's better than refreshing them every 5 minutes hehe
I really appreciate your video very reassuring in distraught times
This video is so helpful for someone trying to start an Etsy shop!!! Thank you so much!
I'm glad its helpful Gaby! 😘
With this whole situation, and my day job being shut down.....this is giving me time to work even harder on my business and pushing it full time. Fortunately for me, my business is about urging people to be more self reliant.....what a better time for that??!
💯💯
