Chapters:
0:00 Welcome
5:07 what do you think of selling finished plushies mostly online instead of doing markets?
6:11 Are all of the resources that I will need be in the Amazon workbook? Is it okay to wait for it to be available?
9:11 What works best for keeping financial records and keeping them backed up?
13:40 I don’t have an official business name, how can I start an Etsy shop? It could change if I don’t know my niche yet?
14:54 will we be able to share resources for business, like where to find shipping supplies, in the group?
18:10 I’ve stared an Etsy shop, but not getting many orders. It’s been up for about 4 months. Is it too soon to try to switch gears and a different target audience.
23:20 how many lives a week will you do?
26:06 Ashley, I am from Brazil and LOVE everything you make and talk! I am the one who makes handmade notebooks BUT, AND, will join the Crochet Boss Academy next round! 
33:10 How do you deal with sore hands, arms, elbows, etc from crocheting so much?
41:50 How do you juggle time/ workloads for example wip, website work, future plans etc. sometimes I just want to do all the things and end of paralyzed
48:40 Question: why do you believe so much in email listing? It seems like people don't care about it very much.
53:00 Will 4 payments be an option next year or something like Klarna?
58:01 how do you discipline yourself to set the reminders? is it in the moment that you set them?
1:02:11 I make something ea day and still don’t know how you build up enough inventory without helpers. Just curious 
1:04:38 Do you have any pdfs on shipping for small businesses available for purchase ? I’d buy it!
1:07:40 oh i just found a reminder app in my phone, I have an android ! I have a focus mode on my hp laptop too. you're motivating me to actually use these dentures! it would help my ADHD mind immensely
1:12:58 I love your content. How is your CBA different from Pam's CBA? I don't want to start a finished product business but I'd like to start a blog. Do you have a course for building a blog business only?
1:17:46 Do you ever sell items that aren't 100% crochet? example... I am planning to make an Easter basket including a bunny bag or your beautiful boho bag.... is that something that I would be able to do?
1:18:26 What happens if your ideal customer changes for example mine are all starting families, do you change with them ? Do I start adding products to suit them.. I know I’ll find this out in the course
1:23:43 how do you decide what items you want to focus on selling? I have a few different items that I sell.
1:30:28 My husband feels that I couldn’t ever make enough money selling crochet items. He prices items by how long it takes you to make it. How do I explain the pricing concept to him?
1:40:17 Shipping question: I currently only sell to the US and Canada because I've been worried that if I do international shipping that I'll have to pay customs. Does Etsy take care of all that?
1:41:17 I currently can't afford CBA.. do you by any chance have any advice about shipping? I really want to open an Etsy account but I'm scared of not understanding the shipping.
1:42:23 What’s a good price to pay yourself per hour when making things? Especially when you’re just starting out.
1:46:13 What type of printer do you use for the shipping labels?
1:47:51 On Etsy, When the customer pays for shipping, don't we get paid the shipping because we have to purchase the label ourselves?
