Do you love crochet but struggle to turn it into a profitable business that actually feels fulfilling? You might be missing your Ikigai.
In this episode of Simply Hooked, we explore the Japanese concept of "a reason for being." We map out how to find the sweet spot where what you love, what you are good at, and what the world needs all intersect to create a sustainable business.
In this episode, we cover:
The Ikigai Framework: Understanding the balance between Passion, Mission, Vocation, and Profession.
Finding Your Niche: A practical exercise to discover the specific crochet business idea that lights you up.
Longevity & Joy: Why aligning your business with your purpose is the secret to avoiding burnout.
Whether you are just starting or looking for a pivot, this episode will help you craft a life that excites you.
For a deeper dive into growing your handmade business, check out my new book, Hooked on Growth, which goes into much more detail on scaling!
