yearbook
a must have tool for organising + growing your handmade or maker business
I have found the Maker’s Yearbook to be an absolute godsend. I have really enjoyed using it so far- I have even found that I look forward to completing tasks that I thought would be tedious.
My favourite saying is “schedule it in” and that saying has transformed the way that I organise my business. I recommend the Maker’s Yearbook to practically everyone I meet.
Nicola, this has been great. My life can often descend into chaos through illness and family commitments, and it’s so easy just to walk away from the business. But this year I have been able to keep some perspective, stay creative and organised, and feel on top of things. I’m finally feeling like I am able to run a business. Thank you.
