Paying Yourself as a Business Owner - with Hanna Lisa of Making Stories Magazine
Show Notes

Do you struggle with paying yourself as a knitting pattern designer? Are you wondering how to increase your pattern prices or how to make additional money for the work you're already doing? You are not alone.

In this episode, I bring in Hanna Lisa, the owner of Making Stories magazine, to talk all about paying yourself inside the knit and crochet industry. Just two months ago, Hanna Lisa made a vulnerable and transparent announcement to the world: she hasn't been able to pay herself. In this podcast episode we dive deeper into that conversation.

We discuss:

  • the value of transparency and vulnerability in business
  • the ability to show up as you are and not playing any roles as a business owner
  • the struggle to pay yourself as a designer, including industry pricing, money mindset, and fear mindsets
  • Hanna Lisa's wishes for the industry
  • other ways to make money as a designer

We hope you truly love this episode and find it valuable, inspiring, and insightful. If you'd like to continue the conversation, feel free to send us a message on Instagram or email!
