Have you ever wondered what some of our previous guests are up to today? On this episode we have the answer from one of our earliest visitors: Belinda from Zoharous is here again.

Belinda is the sole proprietor and seamstress at Zoharous, an Etsy shop that features handmade, custom African-themed and inspired clothing. When she joined us two years ago she was building her Etsy shop while working full-time and growing her blog. She was so busy so only slept from 10pm til 2am!

Happily in the two years since her initial appearance on Etsy Conversations she’s been able to create more time for sleep: she’s left her full-time job to focus completely on her Etsy creations. Today she spends her days expanding her shop, serving her customers and honing her sewing skills. She’s determined to stay competitive in her market and hasn’t rested on her laurels. Fortunately she has reaped the rewards in the process.

On this episode of Etsy Conversations, Belinda gives us an update on what prompted her to leave her full-time job, why she has so much more energy to give to her Etsy endeavors, and what a typical day looks like for her now.

It was a real treat to catch up with Belinda and hear all the latest on Zoharous, listen in and learn from her real-life experiences and wisdom.

Tweetable: “Etsy has taught me a lot of lessons!”
