318 ~ Finding Success in a Passion-Based Business On & Off Etsy w/Tonya of The Bodacious Bee

June 2, 2021

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…
