Makers Collective helps entrepreneurs grow and prosper

I love Jens desire to help other entrepreneurs grow and prosper.

I obviously do too – and if I was independently wealthy, I would probably help people for free.

Jen shares how Makers Collective came to be, and how they continue to develop the ability to help entrepreneurs grow and expand their businesses.

Jen gives some insight into their annual Makers Summit and how they strive to give the “how”, not just the “what” so entrepreneurs take away actionable step and practical techniques.

Makers Collective is also the proud creator of the Indie Craft Parade which brings hundreds of vendors together for a 3-day showcase drawing thousands of potential shoppers from all over the Southern United States. Many makers get their start at this special event and go on to prosper in their business.

Be sure to check out the Indie Craft Parade and The Makers Summit.
