Felicity Britt
“It opened doors I never saw before and pushed me to grow my business while also becoming a stronger version of me.”
Felicity Britt was a homeschooler who often felt stuck, like her ideas and business weren’t going anywhere. Without a school community to test her business with, she usually waited until winter craft markets, where it was still hard to find people interested. Watching other students grow their businesses faster made her feel behind, stuck in a loop of plateauing.
Turning point
“I wasn't confident when I joined High School Hustle, but I sure was excited. Being part of something helped me go after actual goals for my business. I attended spring markets and children's fairs, got better at social media, and felt better about myself and what I was doing. I'm not behind anyone, I'm only beginning. ”
