Letting go of an era...Closing my Small Business after 4 years
Welcome back to the Nobody Asked Podcast with your host, Sam! In this episode, we're diving into a personal journey of growth and self-discovery. Sam shares her experience of starting a small business, Shop Samiii, while pursuing her graphic design degree in college. What began as a scrunchie venture quickly evolved into a creative outlet for Sam's design skills, expanding into apparel, stickers, phone cases, and more. However, as trends shifted and the business landscape changed, Sam faced the decision of whether to continue on Etsy or pursue her own website. The transition brought mixed emotions as Sam realized that what once ignited her passion now felt like an obligation. With a heavy heart, she made the decision to let go of her small business and focus on her true passions: podcasting, designing, and pursuing her dream of being a YouTuber. Sam reflects on the challenges of identity, the importance of staying true to oneself, and the liberation she feels in pursuing her dreams. Join us for an intimate conversation about letting go, self-discovery, and the excitement of embracing new possibilities.
