In you case you missed our The State of Making, I wanted to share a few insights I learned from our guests. This is the second time we've done The State of Making and I learn so much every time-- right along with you guys! OK, so here were my big insights.
I'm pleased to let you know that we have added a bonus session! Last time we invited social media and online strategist Meighan O'Toole to do a bonus after she was unable to make it to her scheduled session.
It was such a fun time just chatting about what was going on in social media that we decided to do it again. This time we are focusing on how businesses deal with politics and controversy. It's certainly tricky and can be damaging if not done right. We'll talk with Meighan about making your way through potential land mines of running a business online!
Did you join us at all last week The State of Making: An Online Summit? We are one week down and have two more to go. Make sure you don't missing a session. You can read all about it here.
With this summit, we are featuring the stories of maker and their years leading up to the summit. Today's post looks at the year for maker and #ahasmember Amy of Monster Dance Designs. Amy is a multi-talented artist who has made shrewd and strategic decisions about her business to make it sustainable.
Ever feel like it's hard to know if your business is "normal" or not? If other businesses experienced the year in a similar way to you? Or maybe you have a hard time zooming out to get a big picture perspective.
If that's you at all, then we've created The State of Making: An Online Summit just for you (and the thousands of others like you ;))! It's a multi-day event that will feature experts and other makers sharing their perspective on the year in making and what lies ahead for the holidays.

We are featuring the stories of maker and their years leading up to the summit. Today's post looks at the year for maker and #ahasmember Susan of For Pete's Sake Pottery. We look at the growth and the changes she's made and where she's headed for 2017.
Growth looks different for everyone and sometimes our "holiday" seasons do too. For #ahasmember Carolyn of The Wishing Elephant, her adorable kids' costumes make her very busy leading up to Halloween. She had a few pivotal moments this year and she shares them with us. You can also read more about her and her amazing business in this post from a few months ago.

Today's post is from one of our summit speakers and #ashasmember Michelle of Four Letter Word Cards. Her year had some, um, unexpected challenges in it to put it mildly.
