Get It Done: Maker Business Work Session

You make the products. Now make time for the business side.

Consider this your dedicated time and space to work on the behind-the-scenes parts of your business — marketing, admin, planning, pricing, systems, follow-up, and more.

This is not a product-making session. Instead, bring your laptop, notebook, planner, to-do list, or whatever you need to make progress on your business.

You’ll have time to focus on your own priorities, and as desired, connect with other makers, share ideas, brainstorm solutions, and get accountability to keep moving forward. You’ll also have the opportunity to grab a few minutes with Coach Kate to talk through a business question, challenge, or next step as needed.

You might work on:

• Website or online shop updates
• Social media or email planning
• Product pricing or market prep
• Business admin, inventory, or finances
• Product descriptions, bios, or messaging
• Marketing ideas and next-step planning

Come if you want:

• Dedicated time to work on your business
• A little structure and accountability
• Peer support and idea-sharing
• A chance to problem-solve with other makers
• Optional quick coaching with Coach Kate

Bring a project, task, question, or business to-do list. You do not need to have everything figured out — just come ready to make progress.

The mission is to take you to the next step in your creative flow, entrepreneurship dreams, and for you to feel at home at the Clear Creek Makerspace. As a member of CCM you have EXCLUSIVE access to professional coaches.

Workshops with Coach Kate of guide participants in focused learning, development and conversation on specific topics, where she - along with additional subject matter experts at times - will provide specific guidance and resources; and answer your related questions. Think about everything from the maker’s mindset and burnout management to how to write a business plan; the nuts and bolts of starting a business; or building a brand and marketing strategy.

Kate Peabody, MBA, is an International Coaching Federation Professional Certified Coach pairing positive-psychology-based coaching with more than fifteen years of corporate & small business leadership, creative confidence and design-thinking experience. Kate loves being part of the CCM community to help makers balance work, life and time for their holistic wellbeing, and explore and take action on their potential as a professional maker.

You can expect to hear cheesy puns and alliterations, and see her learning and making in the space herself – as 75% of what Kate owns are art and craft supplies. Clay, paint, markers, chalk, charcoal, yarn, embroidery, stamps, paper and canvases, fabric, bits and bobs she thinks she could make something great out of…
