Hey, Im Steph!
My Handmade business journey started out with a bangā¦(no literally my appendix exploded!) š¤£
Thanks to my body holding up a huge STOP sign, I opened my Etsy shop during my post operation recovery period.
I HATED my job, It was awful and It destroyed my confidence. Having worked in Jewellery most of my life, being trained in Gemmology and jewellery making, I decided to start creating my own jewellery.
Something that wasnāt replicable, something that was unique to the customer (Very UNLIKE the āfineā jewellery I sold in my job).

2014
Started my website and things were slowwwww to begin with. Kinda gave up on the whole thing and carried on at my day job.
2015
During post op recovery I realised I hated my working life as it currently stood. With bosses who mentally dragged me down, team members who felt trapped in the job, and far away from everything I knew. I started my etsy shop 2 days after my operation.
Later in 2015ā¦During november-december, I made Ā£6500+ and realised this COULD replace my job.

2016
100% committed to leaving my job, and spent every waking moment doubling down on the exact strategy I would use to scale my shop
April 2016ā¦FINALLY left my job to pursue jewellery making full-time
2017-2019
2017ā¦Saved up for our dream wedding AND moved into our first home from the proceeds of my etsy shop
Ā
2019ā¦Started Handmade Bosses when a bunch of Etsy sellers I knew asked me for shop critiques
Plugged in a mic, filmed on my phone camera and the Youtube channel was born!

Can I see your
Etsy Shop?
I get it. You want to make sure that Iām not just some fly-by-night coach that you see SO MANY OF on Youtube, Instagram and especially TikTok.
But hereās the dealā¦The ones that have active shops (NOT the endless shops they have on āholiday modeā..) that they CARE about will never link them. Hereās why I donāt freely share my Etsy shop linkā¦

I donāt want to get 1000ās of sales from my audience of 55,000 people, because thatās not replicable for the average crafter. You may just be starting out, or have a small audience and I want to show you what WORKS for YOU. Not what works for people with huge audiences.

If I getĀ TONSĀ of traffic from people who arenāt my target market, my listingsĀ conversion rates will plummet, showing me much lower in Etsy search results. I love my Etsy shop and obviously want to keep itĀ profitable!
![](https://kajabi-storefronts-production.kajabi-cdn.com/kajabi-storefronts-production/file-uploads/themes/3098133/settings_images/4ffa8d-3452-305e-6f8c-c864f6ad8e2_w27.png)
I runĀ testsĀ in my shop so I canĀ report back to you.Ā If I drive 1000ās of views everyday from my own socials, It wouldnāt be a āfairā test and what I report back would beĀ bogus.

THAT is what makes me different from all the other ācoachesā out there.
But what I DO share is screenshots of my results. And If you want to see what kind of results I get my students, check the wall of fame out here.
I truly believe that everyone has at least one special creative gift that they can turn into a full-time business if they want to, and Iām here to encourage you, unleash your potential and guide you along your handmade business journey, as I have done for the 1294+ people in our paid programmes and products.
I can confidently say that myself and my team are some of the most creative, brilliant, systematic and collaborative people I have ever met, and our work supporting budding handmade business owners with all aspects of their businesses has touched my heart over and over.
