Every indie retailer and maker that I’ve worked with has one thing in common — a fear of being bored in their work.

Raise your hand if this is you too!
Merchant Method Programs · 003 Hack Your Business Growth with Boredom

This is often why entrepreneurs start their own ventures. However, the pursuit of freedom and flexibility often spreads into areas that it has no business being.

I’m here to tell you, my friend, that you can AND should embrace boredom! When you do, you’ll find running your inventory-based brand easier and, if you do it well, more profitable too.

  • How uncertainty and excitement in specific aspects of your operations can hurt your business

Great insight! I am definitely working hard to be more bored at work like this, so then I can keep focusing on the fun part of why I started my biz! Thank you.

Thanks for sharing how you're inviting more boredom in your work life! Recently I've been on a journey to invite more of it into my creative thinking. Seems counter intuitive but I'm really simmering on ideas and topics longer that I have in the past. I usually move on quickly but this has really invited more ease in my life even though the work is still active. I'm better able to make confident decisions too.
