🙄 oh yeah…that


Taxes.

Ugh.


In the past, I would have said that I am not a ‘numbers person’. The creative and artistic right side of my brain is quite active, while the factual and practical left side of my brain is full of language and science (sorry math, no vacancies at the inn).


What I’ve learned, though, is that by simply shifting my language (see what I did there) to say “I am a person who is learning to be good with numbers”, I am suddenly in a place of ability and empowerment.


Here’s the deal: taxes are an unavoidable part of doing business and a part of life.

But....you already know that.

You have a choice, though, in how you approach them. You can either come from a place of scarcity and look at it as a burden, OR, you can empower yourself to rise up as a business owner and take control.

In today’s post, I’m sharing some of my favorite resources for getting your business’ tax “stuff” together in a way that is 100% doable…even if you are also a person who is learning to be good with numbers 😉

P.S.: Looking for a resource that will help you sort out all of that "business-y" stuff without hassle? I've got ya covered! The Business School for Makers is your all-in-one resource for the ins and outs of what you need to get your biz legit – plus it's a tax-deductible and very budget-friendly $27 🤯

Hey there friend! Thank you so much for signing up for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday planning session. We covered a LOT in our time together! I am trying something new here with these workshops: they are hosted/stored on a platform called Thrivecart. You have been added as a "student" in there but you will need to create a password: you should have received an email from Thrivecart with the subject line 'Verify your email to access your courses'.

Happy Fri-yay Reader! I wanted to pop in with a quick reminder that I've got three live sessions next week for my brand new free workshop, the Handmade Holiday Sales Accelerator. >>YES! I need this workshop!<< My robot assistant tells me that you haven't signed up yet, and unless you're planning on sitting this holiday sales season out – which would be totally fine (we all need a break!) – this is going to be THE most valuable 90 minutes you spend on your business this summer! Your holiday...

There are questions I see asked over and over again in art fair groups, craft market communities, and various other corners of the internet where creatives like us hang out: “Any shows this upcoming weekend with spots open?” “Looking for shows next weekend” “Any good shows under $30?” “Looking for shows this month that still have space” There are always answers, always shows, always some venue that is more than happy to take that table fee check...especially during these slower summer months....
