Creating a sustainable business seems like it should be easier. We have all of the knowledge we could possibly want at our finger tips-- sometimes for a price. There are free forums, Facebook groups, blogs, and webinars happening every day.

So why is that you are feeling like more and more education isn't getting you where you want to be? It seems like you are doing all the right things, everything that everybody says you *should* do, but you're overwhelmed and it doesn't feel like success.

YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY

A lot of makers feel this way. We hear a lot of:

• A lot of makers feel this way. We hear a lot of:
• What does it look like for my business to be successful?
• Is this or that program worth it? How do I know it's worth it?
• Should I be paying attention to this new thing?
• I'm overwhelmed by all of this good info!
• Who can I trust? I've been burned in the past.
• Am I on track for success? How would I even know?

Despite what some people might say on the internet, there aren't easy and pat answers. That's because your business looks different, even if you make the "same" things as other people. Handmade businesses are HIGHLY personal and unique, and different makers set out to create different businesses.

We want to give you confidence, clarity and control over where you're going in your business.

When you know where you're going and have a plan, it becomes easier to make sense of the information that's out there and grow your business without wasting time.

WE GET IT. WE DO. WE TOTALLY DO.

We created Jumpstart Your Handmade Business because we have encountered literally thousands of makers over the years who don't know how to best use all of the wonderful resources that are out there and aren’t sure of how to determine success.

We want you to have the tools to create your own metrics for success. And we want to help you get clear on where you're headed.

Jumpstart Your Handmade Business is an online learning program for makers who want to build a meaningful, profitable business.

Whether you want to turn your part-time "jobby" into your career or you’re starting a business from scratch, Jumpstart helps you:

• Clarify your goals
• Know your numbers
• Make moves in your business when it's right for YOU
• Understand how pricing affects your business
• Grow your business in a way that’s 100% aligned with your values

Growing a profitable, meaningful business requires boldness, vision and the ability to execute on the right strategies.

Without a roadmap or guidance, the process can be overwhelming. Jumpstart is here to jumpstart your growth (hah! That's why we named it so) and save you time and money trying to accumulate the right resources. Jumpstart challenges you at every stage of business.
