How can e-commerce provide the freedom to travel and work from anywhere?

In this episode, Vicky, an artist who sells her work on Etsy, discusses how e-commerce has given her the freedom to pursue her passion while not being tied down to a physical location.

Despite facing challenges with learning SEO and finding her niche, Vicky has grown her store to over 250 sales. She emphasizes the importance of resilience, focus, and not giving up too soon when building an e-commerce business. With the right mindset and tools, e-commerce can provide the freedom to work from anywhere and pursue your passions on your own terms.
