Pricing Wasn’t Built for Hobbyists - Let’s Fix That
Most hobbyists are taught to price based only on supplies, if they’re taught at all.
That usually leads to undercharging, confusion, or feeling unsure about what’s okay to charge, even when the work takes real time and effort.
In this free lab, we slow pricing down and look at it in a clear, realistic way. You’ll learn how to think about labor, materials, and profit so your hobby can support itself, without pressure to turn it into a full-time business.
