You find life as an entrepreneur intoxicating and fulfilling. You started your crochet business because you were craving a challenge. Adventure is your love language! Every roadblock you run into with your biz is an opportunity to learn. You’re looking at ways to scale your business so you can continue to explore new opportunities. You can’t be in 10 places at once so it might be time to outsource some business tasks. You also need workflows to streamline your day-to-day duties. Getting organized will allow you to unlock potential new sources of income. Be sure to listen to your community. What are they asking for? If you can find the answer to that question you’ll be onto something!
Your Roadmap 🗺

Ideas:
Do you have a source of passive income yet?? Adding income streams to your business that doesn’t require your constant attention is a great way to grow! Here are some ideas:
Affiliate Programs
Website/blog ad income
Monetized YouTube channel
Drop shipped merchandise
Digital downloads (templates, planners, patterns)
Plan:
Create a workflow to optimize your efforts! Trello is a helpful free tool for tracking business tasks and scheduling. Theme days can be helpful as well. Here’s my weekly content schedule: Monday-YouTube, Tuesday-Blog, Wednesday-Email, Thursday-Pinterest, Friday-Instagram, Saturday-Fiming & editing. You can do theme days for other business tasks as well!
Action:
Outsource ONE of your business tasks. That doesn’t necessarily mean hiring someone. You could pay a tech editor to edit your patterns, purchase templates/planners to make content creation quicker, or pay for your website to be SEO optimized. If something has been sitting on your to-do list for ages then consider outsourcing!
Treat yourself:
Don’t forget to feed yourself when you’re in the zone! Grab your fave flavor of popcorn 🍿 (mine is kettle corn) and snack as you make groundbreaking progress on your business goals 💪🏻
Hi friend,
I’m Taylor Bento. I’m a thirty-something millennial from Knoxville, TN. I’m a crochet designer with a marketing flare.
I bet you’re wondering “Which one is her crochet journey?” The answer is a little of ALL OF THEM. At some point or another, I’ve been at each stage, and you probably will be too! I’m on a mission to connect crocheters and provide crochet business resources to make them feel seen, heard & empowered. Instagram is where I connect with my crochet friends. Come join the fun!
