First market ever!
Coming here I was so scared and legit had a moment of “I should just leave” until I decided to just get off no one cares if you are feeling scared, I’m so happy I did decide to get off my car and start putting my table. The only thing I regret was being inside the building on the corner, I should’ve gone out and set my table outside. Which happened later that day and that’s when I started seeing sells 😮💨🤞🏼
Will be doing this again since the reason I showed up wasn’t to make lot of money but to get over my fear and anxiety
Quote of the day: DO IT!
Participating in a market can be a transformative experience, especially for those dealing with anxiety around public outings. The thrill of showcasing handmade items, like keychains and crochet crafts, is equally matched by the anxiety of engaging with customers. Strategies to alleviate nerves include preparation—knowing your products and pricing—as well as involvement in supportive communities. Setting up outside can enhance visibility and attract more buyers, as it offers a more inviting atmosphere. Remember, the journey is about building confidence as much as making sales. Every successful interaction, no matter how small, contributes to personal growth. The key takeaway is to 'DO IT'—embracing opportunities ahead, whether it's selling at a local market or pursuing other passions.
