But before we dive right in, let us introduce ourselves in case this is your first visit. Welcome to The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast. We’re your hosts, Jen and Elke Clarke. We are a mother and daughter team that started Zazzle e-commerce businesses over 10 years ago and have sold over 15 million dollars-worth and counting of products on Zazzle.

The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast is for you, the creative. We share actionable steps that you can take to make money in your e-commerce business. In each episode, we will take you one step closer to achieving freedom with your time, location, and finances.

We believe that a profitable e-commerce business is what opens the doors for you to start living your dream life if you work smarter, not harder, use the right tools and follow the proven roadmap. We’re here to give you the tools you need to make your dream life happen. Let’s get started!

And today, we’re excited to share our stories with you and reveal how working for yourself can change your life. 

For all the details, listen to the ENTIRE episode of The Creative and Ambitious Entrepreneur Podcast on your preferred streaming platform.

The positive outweighs the negative

In this episode, we’ll go through the benefits of starting your business online, but we also want to help you understand what’s holding you back from pursuing your dreams. You don’t need to work for someone else or be reliant on the next paycheck to get by. You can work for yourself AND live comfortably. 

What we’ve found in growing our own businesses and helping our students grow theirs is that half the battle comes down to navigating mental roadblocks and restrictions that influence your belief systems. We hope that you’ll see that entrepreneurship is possible for anyone who is willing to go the extra mile.

Engage, LEARN, IMPLEMENT

The main benefits of starting an online business

Starting an online business can be extremely inexpensive

When people think of “starting a business”, they can get caught up in the idea that they must put in a lot of investment financially. However, because creating an entirely online business is possible in the digital age, many of these classic “brick and mortar” overhead costs are eliminated. For example, Zazzle, the platform that we use, operates on a “print by demand” system. The inventory doesn’t exist until the customer buys it, which means that the overhead costs can be virtually non-existent. 

Be Your own Boss, Work Your own Hours

Starting your own business means you don’t need to worry about clocking in and out. You have the flexibility to work when and where you want to. You don’t need to sacrifice the things that are important to you, because you have the opportunity to work at a time that fits best with your schedule. Additionally, taking time off to spend time with family and friends is possible without having to seek permission or neglect responsibilities, since your business can be working for you as passive income.  You can step away, and your business will continue generating income for you.

The Business Run 24/7

Passive income is not a fallacy. It is possible to make money while you aren’t physically at the computer. It takes work and maintenance, but you can take time for yourself without worrying about income. Without the constraints of physical space and hours worked, you can capitalize on flexible business hours. You can sell all over the world at any time.

You can choose your location

Running an online business means that you can work from wherever you want in the world. That could mean on a beach, or in the mountains, or even on an airplane. The flexibility of working from wherever there is wifi gives you unlimited opportunity to travel, work remotely, and work anytime you want. Additionally, you can work in an environment that suits your productivity. 

Hugh income and growth potential

Working a job that has a defined salary or hourly income means that the potential for growth is limited. However, starting your own online business on a platform like Zazzle makes it possible to grow tremendously. Your business will reflect the work you put into it, and there is no cap off to what you can accomplish.
