​The Fun, Affordable Way to Learn & Grow Your Business.

​Have you ever felt like starting a business is like staring at a 1000-piece jigsaw with no picture to guide you?

​

If you’ve ever dreamed of making money from your handmade creations but felt overwhelmed by where to start (or worried about forking out loads of cash on expensive courses), then I can confidently say The Jigsaw Method   is for you.

 

I know you’re busy—maybe you’re juggling kids, a day job, or just craving something for you. You don’t have time (or money!) to waste on AI generated courses that make false promises and leave you more confused than when you started. That’s why I created The Jigsaw Method  —a step-by-step, pick and mix way to turn your hobby into a business.

how it works

Step 1: Get your jigsaw pieces facing the right way so that you are clear on your vision – Know WHO you’re serving and WHY your 'at home' business matters. Without this essential stage you your picture wont be clear.
 

Step 2: Next we build the sides of your puzzle this will add structure– Start & set up your business with confidence and support.
 

Step 3: Now we fill in the outside edge– Learn how to brand yourself & attract the right customers. Make your business Stand Out.
 

Step 4: Complete the picture – Master pricing, Selling, and marketing without feeling pushy or overwhelmed.

 

Pay as you go – No scary price tags!
Each lesson is affordable (starting from just £20) and packed with value, plus workbooks & downloads from under £5

 Take one piece at a time or grab the whole jigsaw for a reduced price.

 

You’re in control!

 The Jigsaw Method  CAN make you money, even if.....
 

You’ve never sold anything before
 

You feel lost in a sea of Etsy shops & craft fairs
 

You have zero marketing experience
 

You only have a few hours a week to work on it

 

This isn’t about spending big. It’s about starting smart. Small steps, small investments, and BIG results over time.
