I think it is really easy to suggest to other people they do work and much harder to do it yourself. The idea people of the world are able to sit in cubicles (imagined or physical) and just talk to people, telling them what they really should do. A huge amount of our current economy is based on paying for inaction in the form of given advice.
I have to admit that I am a master advice-giver. But, under normal circumstances (i.e. those that don't have me using a walker to get around), I am also a master at doing stuff. By being productive, I feel OK about giving advice and asking other people to be, at least mildly, productive.
How does this all relate?
If you have a traditional job, one that isn't self-employment, you have a boss lady that organizes your responsibilities for you. If you are boss lady, and you aren't asking for a loan, who is it that you need to answer to, besides the IRS that is? Yourself. My brain; my game. When was the last time an (traditionally) employed spouse had to justify their business approach to their friends or spouse? Why does this change when you are talking about selling handicrafts--on the side, no less?
