Maybe you’ve been making things for a while… or maybe you’ve only just started...
Either way... there’s something in you that loves the process.Â
The designing, the building, maybe the moment something finally comes together in your hands... and every now and then, the thought creeps in: “Could I actually do something with this?”
But that’s where it gets messy, right?.. Remember... I've been there and just like you, it's the last thing I wanted to think about... because suddenly it’s all about pricing, websites, commissions, markets, social media, and a hundred other things no one ever taught you.
This course was built for that exact moment...To help you take what you already love and show you exactly how to build on it, one grounded, realistic step at a time from someone who's walked that path already...
Â
