When Katie hit $100K in sales, she thought the hard part was behind her. But real growth didn't come until she changed her role, stopped trying to do everything herself, and built a business designed to scale.

In this episode, Katie shares what happened when she outsourced embroidery (spoiler alert- it was a disaster), how she hired her first employee—and then her second—and how she grew her subscription box from 70 to over 400 monthly subscribers by focusing on the numbers that mattered.

What You'll Learn:

✔️ Why outsourcing didn't solve her time problem
✔️ How hiring one person helped—and why it wasn't enough
✔️ The metric that tells her when to grow her team
✔️ How she pays herself based on facts, not feelings
✔️ Why she no longer considers herself a maker—and what she is instead
