I've been there, rockstar.

Over a decade ago, I dug in to start my own soap business so I could stay home with my (at the time) newborn baby and 13 month old. I wanted to break free from relying on someone else for a paycheck.

Even though I knew better, I left my core philosophy (research, plan, test, market) in the dust! 

I did what most folks do – try this, try that. 

A little website design here, a little craft show there. 

A whole lot of making soap and a bit of random marketing everywhere I could.

After a lot of sleepless nights and crying in the shower, I slowly figured it out...

I worked my tail off to get my production processes as efficient as possible. I massaged the heck out of my branding and pricing.  

And within a year, I was smashing sales goals and running a profitable soap business.

And then I did it all over again with a second company (Gratitude Soapery) that I sold in 2018.

And then I built Soapmaker to Moneymaker, which has taught hundreds of soapmakers to do the same.

And now it's your turn to build the successful soap biz of your dreams.

Is Soapmaker to Moneymaker right for you?

Not everyone is ready to turn their passion into a profitable powerhouse, and that's okay. Here's how to know if this is the right move for you:

• You are ready to dive in and create the business of your dreams rather than continuing to watch other soapmakers do it instead
• You take action instead of sitting idly by hoping that everything will work out in your favor and to your expectations
• You want to skip all the costly mistakes that other soapmakers make in this journey because it makes no sense to lose thousands of dollars in the course of business when you really don't have to
• You crave a guided experience where you know exactly what to do every step of the way so you never fall behind, feel lost, or get overwhelmed
• You want to surround yourself with other badass soapmakers who know what being successful is really like, and are tired of seeing bad advice in Facebook groups
• You aren't afraid to create and live your life as an example to those around you, especially your kids and community
