One of the greatest things about being in business for yourself is that you get to choose when and where you want to work. And yes, running your own business is work. Don’t let anyone tell you that all you have to do is push the magic button and you’ll be rich. No, it doesn’t work that way. You have to put in the hours in order to see any kind of success. However, it’s worth the work and the freedom you have to work when and where you want is priceless.
I recently went to a very large outdoor flea market/farmers market and set up my little display area. Though I was rained out within about 30 minutes I still had people stopping by and asking what they could have done - customized for them. I was glad to make those contacts and most certainly will return next week when the weather is supposed to be better.
I took my portable laser with me so I could laser engrave items on the spot. I also had with me several custom-made ceramic, sublimated mugs that I had already done. The interest in them was higher than the laser engraving part of what I had set up.
Here’s a couple photographs of my little display. Admittedly I have a lot of work to do as it relates to making my display area more professional looking but that will, in time, work itself out.
