Whether that’s a job, kids, a caretaker role – chances are, you’ve got something else going on in your life that’s taking up your time and sapping your energy.

In this episode we give you our top tips on this, as well as sharing our own (very different!) experiences of building our own businesses. We hope you enjoy this episode – when you’re done listening, make sure to come and let us know what you thought in our free Facebook group. ~ Jess, Mik & Deb

We need you to help us tailor this event to what YOU really need to work on in your handmade business + you’ll get to help us pick which cities we should travel to!
