Martha Stewart, Etsy Manufacturing and the End of Hustle: The Wishing Elephant Talks About Personal and Professional Growth

The growth of ever maker business looks different and today we look at how #ahasmember Carolyn Caffelle, founder of The Wishing Elephant, has dealt with the growth that has come her way. From an appearance on Martha Stewart, to the decision to look into Etsy Manufacturing, to her letting go of "hustle", her growth has been both personal and professional. She takes us behind the scenes of her business and shows us how her shop went from hobby to the amazing business she owns and runs today.

BTW, you might remember Carolyn from this article about her experience on the Etsy Seller Advisory Board. :)
