Money Maker Membership

You're MAKING DECENT SALES, AND YET... You're not new at this. You look at your shop stats from time to time… but when you check your bank account balance, you're consistently surprised. Every month ends with the same quiet question, am I doing this right? You've told yourself you're "not a numbers person" so often it's engrained in your personality. After 12 years and 15,000+ sellers, here's my humble opinion: you aren't numbers-challenged. You have a knowledge gap! It's a CFO-shaped hole. Bigger businesses hire someone to fill it. Businesses like ours instead perform desperate, late-night, Oreo-fueled Google searches and get confused. The shift It's not just about more information You've tried more info. You've asked ChatGPT about it. Maybe you've even read a book about it. You looked at the software (built for accountants, priced like a car payment, and somehow it's your job to learn it!!). You maybe even asked a question or two in a Facebook group and got a lecture instead of an answer. More bland, boring, one-size-fits-all info is not the answer. My suggestion? A consistent, done-with-you financial rhythm, sprinkled with non-condescending, actually-applicable training specifically for self-employed folks. Profitable entrepreneurs don't do anything magical. They know how to look at their numbers, glean the important takeaways, and act on them. Consciously or not, they run the same simple loop: Update your books → Understand the results → Act on what you find → Pay yourself That rhythm is the difference between a business that pays its owner and a business that eats her alive. What's inside The container Serious results, gentle process No shame, no failing, no falling "behind." I'm in my cozy gaming era right now — and I've built that coziness right into this done-with-you program. ⭐ Quarterly CFO Weeks Four times a year (the month after each quarter closes), we run the loop live, together: a co-working sprint to catch up your books, a workshop where you run your numbers through the Money Maker Scorecard, and a session where you leave with 1–3 actual money moves for next quarter. It's like hiring a CFO for your business every quarter to look at your results, find the holes, and tell you what to work on next quarter to make more money. 📚 Live seasonal trainings Taught to match the rhythm of your business year. Topics include strategic tax planning before year-end, new year financial goal-setting, Profit First made to fit you, projecting cash flow, planning for holiday busy season, retirement & savings for self-employed folks, and more. Every training is recorded, edited, and added to the membership vault. 📅 Financial First Fridays Every month, 90 minutes of office hours + co-working. Lo-fi on, cameras optional, beverage strongly encouraged. Bring your books and your questions and get it done with company & a CPA watching. (Does that sound threatening??) 💬 Ask-the-Accountant, all year A Telegram group chat for every money question you've been carrying around, answered within 48 hours or less. Want to stay anonymous? That's what the No-Judgment Box is for. The goal: you get support and get unstuck, year-round. 📊 The Money Maker Dashboard Your members-only command center. Enter your numbers once a month (about 10 minutes & it plays nicely with your Paper + Spark spreadsheet) and it turns them into answers: which products actually pay you, whether the money's growing, and what you paid yourself. Plus a monthly check-in (meaning I'm watching your numbers with you!) and a quarterly recap email showing exactly how far you've come. Why me Hi, I'm Janet CPA, maker, and mother. I started an Etsy jewelry shop in 2011, left corporate accounting, and I've spent the last 12 years helping over 15,000 makers and e-commerce sellers get their money right at Paper + Spark®. I'm one of the few people on the internet who can read a financial statement, reconcile an Etsy 1099-K, and know what an ecomm CSV export does to a person's soul. My job is to make the unpredictability of self-employed finances less of a headache for you. Recent feedback from real life P+S community members "Your spreadsheets are out-of-this world. The classes I've taken with you encourage me, calm me, make me feel like I can do this." "You've been a major influence on the success of my business and I'm so grateful to have had your guidance." "You add REAL value to the small business. Thank you! Seriously, you make such a difference." "Your trainings have been so helpful! I appreciate everything you do to help small businesses understand the business side of things and confidently track everything for taxes." The math Let's RUN THE NUMBERS A bookkeeper runs about $200/month ($600 a quarter)… and does the books for you while teaching you nothing. Your numbers (and what they mean) are still ✨ a mystery .✨ QuickBooks (and that's just Simple Start) is about $40/month and climbing… built for accountants, which (checking my notes) you are not, on purpose. One mis-priced bestseller. One quietly unprofitable product line. One year of over-paying your taxes out of fear. Each costs more than everything above combined. The Money Maker Membership is $197/quarter — or $697/year if you'd rather save on the annual plan. Founding members join at $147/quarter · $547/year Locked in for as long as you stay. This rate only exists until August 27. It pays for itself the first time it catches a pricing mistake. Through August 27 only Founding member perks $147/quarter (or $547/year) for lifeThe price never goes up on you, as long as your membership stays active. The Founding BallotYou vote on which trainings I build first. This program's fall lineup gets shaped by its founding class. Bonus 1:1 Async DayOne day in September, it's just you and me via Voxer or Telegram — bring your biggest money questions, tell me about your business, get real feedback and support. Founding members only. A new ending to the story Somewhere along the way, "I'm not a numbers person" became your story. Here's the new ending I want to write with you: the numbers were never the problem. Nobody ever sat next to you and showed you what they meant, and how to make more from them. That's the whole membership! A done-with-you rhythm, a room, and a CPA who will never make you feel dumb for asking questions. One day soon, checking your numbers will feel less like a chore and more like (dare I say it) your happy place. 😍 Play the long game. Profit with purpose. It all starts with joining the Money Maker Membership — and the founding version of that decision disappears August 27.
