Small businesses - Do we just keep going until we give up?

It's time to talk about the state of small businesses in 2025. From varying regulations to tariff changes that change week to week, it's really been an incredibly challenging year to run a small business. I haven't seen so many businesses changing, pivoting or even closing shop since I started and it's a little bit shocking (but also understandable). So let's talk... what's the long term goal here?

My art is inspired by my love of animals and my style is a combination of the cultures I have been a part of – a bit of American quirk, a pinch of Eastern influence and a dash of Scandinavian design. Follow me on my journey as I grow my small art business while I grow as an independent artist. —— Links —— ► Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/birdietam ► Shop: https://www.birdietam.art ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/birdietam.art ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/birdietam.art
