Your business matters. I'm here to help.

I’m fiercely passionate about the small, creative home business. 

I’ve been operating my own for 14 years and have generated over a million dollars in revenue.

 The blessings and opportunities it has provided for my family have been incredible.

When creatives learn how to take their skills and talents to the market, great things can happen! 

But you may find you need a little help along the way . . . You have the talent but need a few basic business skills.

Please see below for all the ways I can help you in your small creative business journey!

For Antique Booth Sellers
The Booth Sellers Bootcamp

The Booth Sellers Bootcamp is my signature online course, created and filmed entirely by me.  It draws on my 14 years of experience starting and running a profitable resale business from an antique booth and passes everything I have learned down to you.

Who is it for?

  • New sellers just starting out in their resale journey
  • Existing hobby booth owners looking to level up

For Existing Creative Sellers in any Field
How to Think Like a Business Owner Mini Course

New Fall 2025! The How to Think Like a Business Owner Mini Course is the reset you need if your side hustle is stuck in hobby mode.

So many small business owners I talk with are struggling to legitimize their businesses. The secret to success lies in a surprising place: how you think.

When you start thinking like a business owner instead of just a seller, you make different choices – choices that lead to consistent profit over occasional good months.  Stop chasing sales and learn how to build a business.

Learn strategies for planning and time management, setting financial goals, creating professional relationships, and managing inventory with more success and less emotional attachment.

Who is it for?

    • Existing sellers who know something is missing
    • Burned out business owners wondering if this can work
    • Anyone looking for better advice than “hustle more”
