I never felt like I fit into the 9-5 J-O-B model.

I hated the idea of making money for someone else, and was tired of exchanging my time for 💰

I was super down, felt lost and like I was a failure for having this ultimate dream I craved.

A emergency hospital trip, last-minute surgery and 3 weeks bedrest taught me one thing...

Regret is a mind-F 🙄

I realised that if the lights had gone out that day, I would have regretted not taking the chance on my idea, and my business.

So I toddled off and bought some supplies and began self teaching myself how to open an online jewellery boutique.

It was HARD. Like tear your hair out hard. BUT when I made my first $6000 my first Christmas.

I realised I had hit on something... 🥇

It was a real business

It could be done

It would be done

Fast forward to 2016 where I quit my job, and I could work on my etsy shop FULL TIME - eeeeek! 🎉

In the beginning of 2019, I had outsourced all of the boring backend stuff, and I managed to do 3 things in my business:

• Make jewellery & wrap orders (part time)

• Customer service

• Listing and SEO

That’s it.

But I had another calling.. 

Through various etsy groups and friends of friends, I began to have a whole host of people asking me to help them do what I had done...

...Build a 6-figure handmade business.

It was after doing a mini shop critique for a friend that a 💡 appeared above my head.

and guess what...

I then started my YouTube channel "Handmade Bosses", and the rest as they say, is history! ✨

I've now dedicated my life to help others. I'm passionate about this fact:

We all have a special skill or knowledge to make something incredible, and build the life of our dreams.

I would know, I've lived it.

I've helped 100's of students build their own handmade businesses, and make REAL money, for a amazing lifestyle, backed by creativity.

And I can help you too!

 I bet you’re saying - but there LOADS of etsy gurus out there - what makes you special? Well..

• I have helped 1000's of Etsy shop owners better their business.

• I am in the top 1% of Etsy shops on etsy

• I get 100,000s of views on my YouTube videos, and daily emails telling me how my advice has helped them.

• I give loads of free information that most "Etsy experts" would charge big $$$ for.

• I have an actual ACTIVE full time 6 figure etsy shop- I challenge you. With the other etsy gurus out there - go take a look and see if they have an etsy shop active that makes a full time income…I’ll wait. As they say, learn from people who are where you want to be.
