Episode 175: From Architect to Silhouette Artist Selling on Etsy & Now Pottery Barn Kids with Vana Chupp

There isn’t a normal for entrepreneurs. Every person has their own way of running their own business. To be powerful means to know what you want and how to achieve it.
— Vana Chupp

There’s so much pressure to quickly scale and grow a business, but that’s not why myself or many other business owners, including today’s guest, made the leap to be an entrepreneurs.  Running your own business is an opportunity to align all of your commitments and your passions such that you’re generating an income to support yourself and make the impact you really want.  Today’s guest, Vana Chupp of Vana Chupp Studios, is a great example of how choosing the speed of your business to align with your priorities is not only a smart choice, but also still leads to an amazingly successful business.  The most recent example being that her products are now available at Pottery Barn Kids.
