The Worms Aren’t in the Nest: Faith, Hustle, and Building Your Crochet Business

About this episode
Marcy Gardner discusses the importance of taking action in building a crochet business while balancing faith and trust in God's provision.
In this episode, I’m sharing a mindset shift that honestly stopped me in my tracks: “God feeds the birds, but He doesn’t drop the worms in their nests.” It challenged me to think about where I’ve been waiting instead of moving, and I have a feeling I’m not the only one. If you’ve been feeling stuck in your crochet business or creative journey, this episode is for you. I’m talking about the difference between trusting God’s provision and staying passive, and what it really looks like to partner faith with action. I’ll encourage you to step out of the “nest,” take messy action, and start building the business and life you’ve been dreaming about, because the opportunities are out there, and you already have what you need to go get them. For a deeper dive into growing your handmade business, check out my new book, Hooked on Growth , which goes into much more detail on scaling! 🔆 Join Our Skool Community 🔆 Learn to Crochet Course 🔆 Shop My Crochet Patterns 🔆 Grab The Crochet Snuggle Buddies Pattern Book
