I also make plates, pictures, bulls, colanders and things like that. The goal of my business is really to support me financially and allowed me to quit my day job that I'm in currently on and also to help people live simply and means meaningful e in their own lives. I think the biggest challenge is to reaching that goal right now for me, I just don't feel like I have enough time with my day job and with everything that I need to do to build up my business. Um, one thing that I have done in my business that I'm very proud of is starting to build up my website it's definitely still in the beginning stages, and I'm certainly not a web designer, but I've put in a lot of effort, and I think I'm getting to where I'd like it to be.

Love the shorter and longer format to this class. It keeps me interested and I don't have to schedule a whole day at once, during the free play. Well worth the money if you pay for the class too. Megan is amazing! She really knows business, marketing and has strategies which apply to all kinds of businesses. The work book is 150 pages long and breaks everything down into small bits and teaches you to really think about all aspects of your business. Where you were, are now and best of all where you want to be and how to get there. Highly recommend any of her classes. Thank you so much Megan and Creative Live for bringing us such wonderful content!

This course was totally awesome!!! I cannot express enough how fantastic Megan Auman is, what a great teacher she is, and am so thankful she offered it for FREE!!! Wow!!! It was exactly where I was at, stuck and frustrated. Exactly what I needed to begin to get my business off the ground. I am currently implementing all I have learned from her. Rebranding my self, rebuilding my website, new product shots, model shots, list building, etc., etc. I am still connected with the Facebook group, and that is awesome we have that connection to continue helping each other out and using each other as a sounding board. I plan on purchasing the course as soon as I can. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone who is struggling to get their business off the ground and going!!!
