Debunking the Myths Behind Makers Scaling Their Business

Debunking the Myths Behind Makers Scaling Their Business

We all want to know that we can make a million dollars, so we're debunking outdated myths around the makers' business model to help you feel inspired to build and scale your company to its full potential. 

As a business, you need to figure out how to make money from your trade.  

First off, makers do not have to make everything they sell. Outsourcing does not depersonalize your connection to the brand or dilute your product's value. 

Secondly, makers can be millionaires. It's all about surrounding yourself with the right people and seeing real-life maker-to-rich stories you can relate to. Tune in to hear about just a few of our incredible self-starters who turned their maker business into a well-oiled product machine. 

Still don't believe us? Join our free Makers Guide to Scaling Workshop to uncover the secrets to uplevel your business and reach your dream goals. Let's MAKE it happen!
