Small Business Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner

If you’ve been following Maslinda for a while, you probably know it’s not a typical brand.
It’s a personal project that started from my need to create with my hands and slowly grew into a small business — built almost entirely by me.

Over the past few years, I’ve learned a lot.
Some things with joy, others with struggle.
Sometimes I felt excited and inspired, other times discouraged and tired.
I’ve built and rebuilt this brand, went through busy seasons and quiet ones.
I’ve learned how to make, photograph, sell, write, take care of my customers, fix tech issues, do marketing and so much more — mostly on my own.

Now that Maslinda is in a slower, more reflective phase, I feel like sharing some of what I’ve learned along the way.
Not because I know everything or because I became an expert, but because if you also have a small business or you're thinking of starting one these things might help you too

So I’m starting with something small
A short guide with my favourite digital tools — the ones I keep coming back to

It’s free and I’ll be sharing it in my next newsletter
