I never leave my comfort zone anymore

2025/12/05

I quit toxic growth culture and that’s when my businesses finally took off.You know that advice everyone loves to throw around? “Get outside your comfort zone.”“Do the things that scare you.” “If you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing.” We’ve been convinced that if you’re not uncomfortable, you’re not growing. And I believed this for way too long, until it nearly destroyed me and my business! Everything changed when I stopped trying to force myself into anxiety-inducing

2025/12/02

There were only four factors that contributed to my polymer clay charm shop achieving its highest-ever sales year, $200,000 in revenue with a 53% profit margin. These aren’t the usual things most creative business owners are doing, but trust me, they still work today. Sure, artists are hustling on social media or at craft shows, but we’re not going down that rabbit hole because, let’s be real, those are super time-consuming. So I’ll show you what those four things are, how you can do them yourself

2025/07/25

I made $54,000 a month selling personalized art and I did it with only 5 Apps. Most people think you need a dozen different apps, a huge team, and endless hours to scale a personalized art business. Others assume it’s not even possible to automate something customized. But I’m here to prove otherwise. We’ve built a streamlined, highly profitable art business using just 5 apps and in this blog, I’ll walk you through each one Everything is so systematized that my husband, Peter, who now

Struggling to be productive and make sales?If you can’t seem to be productive in a way that actually brings in sales, we’re going to fix that. You might be stuck using a system that’s secretly holding you back. I used to juggle all the popular project management tools, but nothing really worked. I stayed busy, but the sales didn’t reflect it. Then I found a system that did work and it takes just 3 minutes a day! That tiny shift helped me build a jewelry business that now makes $176,000 per year in

Let me guess, you’ve probably heard it a thousand times: “Art is nice, but it’s not a real job.” Right?Maybe you’ve been stuck between doing what lights you up and doing what, well… pays the rent. You daydream about turning your hobby into something more, but it feels like this foggy “someday” thing. Or worse, you feel like you’re just playing business: posting, hoping, praying someone finds you, buys something, cares. Here’s the truth no one told me when I was

2025/05/02

If you’re running a handmade business and think you need expensive materials to charge higher prices, we need to talk.I’m about to show you why that idea doesn’t work and what to do instead. I use a counterintuitive process that has helped me build multiple six- and seven-figure businesses. And here’s the crazy part: the products I sell cost me less than $2 in materials to make. Yep, under $2. And my customers? They happily pay between $30 and $100 for these products and they keep coming back for

When I tell people I make over a million dollars a year, their reaction is usually one of disbelief.They look at me like, “Whaaat?” I wear the same clothes I bought five years ago. I drive a used 2018 Chevy Bolt that’s fully paid off. I don’t get my nails done, I cut my own hair. And I use an iPhone 12 mini that I bought secondhand. This probably isn’t what you picture when you think of someone making seven figures. But that’s exactly why I’m sharing this story. The image we have of … The

Ever spent way too long obsessing over the tiniest details in your creative business? Is the packaging perfect? Is my product good enough? Will my website impress everyone who visits? What will people think of my work? For years, I was trapped in this endless cycle of perfectionism. And you know what? It was exhausting. It kept me stuck, delayed my progress, and made running my business way harder than it needed to be. But then, I made a simple mindset shift that changed everything: most of

Having so many products in your shop is not doing what you think it is.If you’re thinking, “I wanted to make more sales, so I’ll make something for everyone who visits my online store!” But that’s not the way it works. More products doesn’t mean you’re appealing to everyone and it doesn’t increase your chances of making a sale. In fact, it does quite the opposite.

Even services or digital products! Now, here’s the kicker: Reverse Pricing is a counterintuitive approach. It flips the conventional pricing methods on their
