Growing a Six-Figure Business on Multiple Handmade Selling Platforms with Ashley Raetz
Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts
My guest today, Ashley Raetz, shares so many tips and tricks for running a successful business that you’ll want to listen twice! After asking for a pay raise and hearing the word “no”, Ashley decided she wasn’t going to let anyone else determine her value or her paycheck. She started RiOak designs at her kitchen table in small-town Missouri and after continuing to show up day after day, saw her business take-off and never looked back.
As a sign maker from Missouri, Ashley has achieved success on multiple selling platforms including nearly 5K sales on Etsy, 3 top 100 sellers on Amazon, sell-out nights on Facebook, and hosting her own juried craft show. If there is a selling platform for handmade products, chances are that she has done it. There is more than one great way to run a successful business. And that is exactly what Ashley is going to teach you, how to find a strategy that works for you and your business.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why relationships are KEY to a successful business
- Why you don’t need all the bells and whistles to be successful
- Tips to manage that elusive work-life balance
- When to consider hiring another employee
