established several possibilitiesâ items you love, would enjoy making and believe others would love, tooâ spend some time pricing materials for each. Bounce the totals up against the price you establish based on research youâve done. Immediately eliminate the projects that donât offer a return. Before you choose your potential product and do the math to calculate your return, remember to factor in your time. What is it worth? Time and time again, Iâve talked to budding entrepreneurs who only factor in materials with the idea that itâs only time they have available anyway. Your time has value. You choose what itâs worth but it always has value. Another question to ask yourself, especially if youâre just getting startedâWhat can I make using existing materials? Most of us have drawers, shelves and boxes of supplies that weâve purchased to
make that special something or just because we couldnât resist. Try to use what you have before you buy more. Leverage your bottom line. If you must purchase supplies, consider splitting costs with a friend. This can apply to both buying materials and sharing space and travel expenses for a craft fair or holiday show.
