I've built and sold a small business. I know what it takes to run one.

I've owned small businesses for over a decade.

I launched a community pottery studio with $20,000 and sold it 24 months later for $150,000. Not because of a clever idea. Because I built the systems that let it run without me standing in the room. A twelve month schedule that planned for the holiday rush before it arrived. Safety procedures for a room full of kilns and heavy equipment. We never had an incident. A program where students worked studio shifts in exchange for memberships, which solved staffing and community at the same time. I built out the space myself and saved $10,000 doing it.

Before that I grew a handmade art project from my kitchen table to 36 states and 9 countries, with coverage in Upworthy, The Huffington Post, and My Modern Met. No budget. Just knowing how to get people to care about something they'd never heard of.

So when I say I know what it's like when everything lands on you, I'm not guessing.

You already know what your business needs. I just help you build the systems to act on it.
