Hey Rebels!  In this throwback episode Caroline and Kelly talk all about rolling with the punches and staying positive while running your biz!  Don’t let changes freak you out! Caroline and Kelly are here to help! Most important, you really need to be a positive part of the community! The Ecommerce world is always changing. Changes are a part of life and will continue to happen -- embrace the changes!  If a platform makes a change, ask for help! The best advice is to go directly to the source. Ask yourself how you can make your shop better with the new changes. Be sure you are on the inside of the platform you belong to! Sometimes our shops take a big hit from changes, but we have to work through the changes, figure out how you can fix it, and bounce back.  Stay positive rebels, complaining is not the solution! Quote Love from Caroline & Kelly Always have a positive attitude, keep your eyes forward and keep going - Kelly   No matter what platform you’re on, you have to put in the work - Caroline   Inste
