I discovered Isabella through purchasing her book, “Macrame for the Modern Home” back in 2020. I fell in love with the projects, and from that moment I was hooked and have followed Isabella and joined her courses ever since.
I didn’t officially have a business before joining the course, rather, I joined as I was considering turning my hobby into a business, and wanted to learn what would be involved to make that happen.
It all starts with an idea...
Meet Cherie, from her home State of Queensland, Australia founder of @Summerspiritdesigns. She had no idea on how to start a business from her hobby when she began her business journey.
It was the perfect starting point for me, as I now have a very clear roadmap of the steps I need to take.
I literally didn’t know where to start in terms of setting up my business.
I naively thought it would be a matter of making a bunch of my favourite macrame pieces and approaching various business owners to see if they would be interested in stocking them!
I would constantly overthink decisions that together with my discomfort with social media would effectively put the brakes on everything. rather than just taking small steps forward.
The excitement to start the course & making an investment in myself met reality as soon as I realised that there was so much I needed to learn if I was going to make this work!
I had also not seen a course previously that was sharing information specifically relating to a creative business. This is a game changer, and Isabella’s course is unique in this respect.
The course and Isabella’s support have helped me achieve my objective, which was to learn what I needed to do to get my business off the ground. I have ticked that goal, because I now have a roadmap of exactly what I need to implement to make it happen.
I have received custom orders and also gained the confidence through the course to offer a collection of macrame gifts at Christmas time. I have also begun teaching macrame to a dear friend who is struggling with mental health and using macrame for its calming effect and I'm finding this incredibly rewarding.
I have learned so much, and the additional resources Isabella shares are fabulous.
I love her infectious energy and passion, Isabella genuinely wants her students to succeed, but also to identify and achieve what success means to them personally. It is different for all of us.
Having Isabella as a mentor is like having a coffee or a hot chocolate with an old friend - it’s relaxed, it’s fun, invigorating and inspiring all rolled into one!
i learned That there is room for everyone’s work in business.
I started the course with so many fears, lack of confidence in my work.
The encouragement I’ve received from Isabella, my classmates and Isabella’s macrame community as a whole has been so inspiring and I am truly grateful for that.
When you implement the strategies, you see results......
Regardless of whether you have an established business and are looking to take it to the next level, or whether you are a beginner like me, you will benefit from Isabella’s training and experience in this course.
