I think I'm at the point of considering myself "a success" - I think I've found my niche; but then again, who knows if my stuff will fall out of favour next week...I agree regards the validation too.Lemonade and Lamingtonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056280266139211126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727722635223146809.post-34680080308569450152010-07-26T20:56:21.037+01:002010-07-26T20:56:21.037+01:00averilpam - really good points.

For a lot of people it's about profit, making money. If you need to make a living it has to be so. For those of us who don't need to make a living, maybe supplement a pension or other income, it is really about the validation of knowing people value our work. I have yet to make a profit (in fact I'm still making a loss) yet like you I feel successful purely because I am selling some of my creations. I feel successful because I'm proud of what I'm creating.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04594661627722708943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7727722635223146809.post-14063625922525595992010-07-26T20:47:49.474+01:002010-07-26T20:47:49.474+01:00Sharon - that makes absolute sense to me.

I have had some sales on Dreamaid and I really like the positivity from all my customers, which means as much to me as the sales.
