Tonya started her career as a structural engineer but got bit by the creative bug when she discovered a love for soap-making when planning her wedding favors. She followed one recipe to begin with, then educated herself, got creative and now The Bodacious Bee has taken on a life of it’s own.
This week we talk all about how Tonya is finding success in a passion-based business both on & off Etsy.
Topics Discussed:
- Finding success by focusing on things she’s passionate about
- How Tonya learned that “you don’t have to sell to sell”
- Managing her time running a busy Etsy shop and a real estate career in a hot market
- Impact of the pandemic on both businesses
- Educating clients from a position of passion
- Using Etsy’s marketing and promotional tools
- And more…
