WHAT I DON'T YET OWN — the map up (chapter 11)

A working engine on the marketplace is a real achievement — and it
reveals three things a thriving Etsy shop still doesn't give you.
A ceiling you can name is one you can plan to climb. Be stark:

  past buyers I can contact directly today: [   0   ]
  share of each repeat sale kept by the platform: ______ %
  share of my traffic run by rules I don't own: ______ %

  which of the three walls bites me first:
    ( ) THE BUYER  — Etsy holds the relationship, not me
    ( ) THE MARGIN — the platform takes its cut of every repeat
    ( ) THE GROUND — search & rules I don't control; all rented

  the one thing I'll learn next (name it — don't rush it):
    __________________________________________________________

Climbing past this ceiling is a different, riskier game — owning
your demand, your fully-loaded economics, the customer relationship,
and the capital risk that comes with all three. You keep more of
the economics by shouldering more of the cost and risk yourself.

That is the next book. Named here, taught there.
