Ep: 305 - A Virtual Home for Makers with Rebecca Ickes Carra

<p><b>12 years ago, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t go to business school. And I definitely had never dreamed of starting my own business. But, I managed to keep putting one foot in front of the other and climb up the hill that is self-employment, learning when to adjust course or totally change plans when necessary thanks to the support of an incredible Community of peers.</b></p><p><b>On today’s solo episode, I’m sharing why I’ve spent the last 4 months building a virtual home for makers - </b><a href='http://www.makersplaybook.com/community'><b>The Community by the Maker’s Playbook</b></a><b> - and a few of the things that make this online space particularly special to me. I know without a doubt that I would not have the business I have today without the support of a community of colleagues.  The depth of this support is what I dream about bringing to the maker community. Not only tactical how-to’s from the makers that have come before you, but side-by-side emotional support when the going gets tough. Because if there’s one other thing I know it’s this: Making a living from the things you make is a marathon, not a sprint. And while it might always be hard, it’s a heck of a lot more enjoyable with friends by your side.</b></p><p><b>Find out more about The Community by the Maker’s Playbook by clicking here: www.makersplaybook.com/community<br/><br/></b>For full show notes and links to all of our guests&apos; resources visit: <a href='https://www.makersplaybook.com/podcast/'>www.makersplaybook.com/podcast</a><b><br/></b><br/></p><p>Full show notes and an archive of all our episodes can be found at: <a href='https://www.makersplaybook.com/podcast/'><b>makersplaybook.com/podcast</b></a><b><br/><br/></b>Follow The Maker&apos;s Playbook on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/themakersplaybook/'><b>@themakersplaybook</b></a><b><br/><br/></b>Have questions about the show or want to say Hi?
