"From Passion to Profit" 

***Enrollments NOW OPEN ***

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. 

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...

 

Here’s what you’ll explore inside:

  • Mindset & Getting Started
    Learn how to go from hobbyist to creative professional. Get clear on what you want and how to begin.

  • Product Development & Craftsmanship
    Make things people want to buy—without losing what you love about creating. Learn smart ways to design, build, and price your work.

  • Branding & Identity
    Create a name and look that feel like you—and help the right people find you.

  • E-Commerce & Selling Online
    Set up your online shop the right way. Choose a platform, write great product listings, and get ready to sell.

  • Field Trading & Face-to-Face Sales
    Learn what works at markets, fairs, and events—from setting up your stall to talking confidently with customers.

  • Marketing & Community Building Get seen, get known, and build a following—without using pushy sales tactics.

  • Financial Management & Pricing Confidence Price your work properly, plan ahead for quiet times, and keep your money flowing without the stress.

  • Adapting, Innovating & Staying Inspired Stay flexible as things change. Learn how to keep going, stay excited, and grow without burning out.

  • Portfolio, Projects & Reputation Show your best work and build a name people remember—whether you’re going for jobs or freelance work.

  • Practical Implementation & Career Pathways Take clear steps forward. Learn what to do next, even with limited time—and explore real paths to turn this into income.

  • BONUS MODULE - 'Facebook Mastery for Crafters & Creatives' A Series of 7 Training Videos & Workbook
