Hey Friend!
Be inspired to build your passion.
Let me guess...
- You have a brilliant idea to sell children's teethers, pacifier leashes, clothing, and other children's products online, at craft shows, or even grow into a brick and mortar shop!
- You just heard this word "compliance" and you are now scrambling to catch up and are even more overwhelmed with this business idea than before.
- You are uncertain about what to believe because your Google-ing ability isn't quite up to par for this kind of topic.
- You are a parent and really just don't have time to search it all yourself.
- You are trying to help cover bills, get out of debt, pay for extracurriculars, or save for a small (or big!) vacation with your business idea.
I've pulled together just the things you need to build your passion and create that shop you've been dreaming of.
I started right where you are over 10 years ago. I was beginning to make cloth diapers for my newborn and got the "business advice" to start selling. I thought, "Wow! Why not?!"
Long story short, I fell head first into these regulations and was SO overwhelmed with how many agencies had their fingers in such a small little thing I was making! As I learned something new, I told all of my maker friends about it and eventually started a whole group about it.
Thousands of members and 7 years later, after finishing grad school and having 4 kids, I finally started to offer my services helping hundreds more individually. I can't wait to start helping you too!
Many of us (yep, me included) start out as a hobby with the "business advice" from their friends that they should totally sell this amazing thing they've created. They jump in, head first, and start making more of the thing and list it on Facebook, Shopify, ETSY, and craft shows hoping to at least cover their hobby costs.
Sound familiar? What we tend to forget about, or not know about, are the requirements for our business.
Wouldn't it be nice if there was someone that could guide you and answer questions as they pop up?

Here are some words of love from others!
“Always helpful in getting me the answers I seek. If you are looking for a direct way to get the inforamtion you need to legally run your handmade business, this is it. I can't tell you how many confusing hours I spent reading things I didn't totally understand until I was recommended this program. It saved me a huge amount of time and gotten rid of a lot of stress. It's truly one of a kind.”
Amanda Jackson
“Misty is like a secret weapon in your back pocket. I recently launched a children's toy and was getting conflicting inforamtion from suppliers and labs. I reached out to Misty and paid for some email correspondence. Misty was super knowledgable and very responsive. She made me feel a whole lot more confident in my testing strategy and material choices.”
