#OMHG Question of the Week: How do you deal with the thorns?

Wednesday, April 16, 2014 by Jessika Hepburn

#OMHG Question of the Week: How do you deal with the thorny side of business & creativity? Oh My! Handmade

Every business + creative life no matter how well planned has thorns (problems), weeds (tiresome tasks), pests (negative influences), drought (slow seasons), or storms (big crisis). Inevitably there are going to be unpleasant bits to deal with! How do you cope with the thorny side of your business or creative life and stay positive?

This month on OMHG we are talking about growing our businesses & creativity from shoots to roots-help out your fellow creatives by letting us know your tips + tricks + experiences overcoming the problems in your business or creative life.

Our weekly questions are based on our themes & kick off our #OMHG chats every Thursday from 1-2pm EST! Meet up in the comments to talk about our question of the week,  connect with other makers + entrepreneurs to learn from each other and swap knowledge. Want more? Stop by our chats to visit us in real time or click the banner below to join our members community!

We want to hear from you & share your goodness: our Shoots & Roots theme is full but we’re accepting submissions for Organization 101 in May-submit your posts here.
