Make It University will be celebrating its one-year birthday this March! Almost a year ago this time, I told my coach Marie Forleo about my idea to help creative entrepreneurs become super successful doing what they are passionate about. Her response was “dude, you gotta put this baby online!” I had no idea how I was going to do this. At the time I knew hardly anything about online education and...
I hope your 2013 is off to a sparkly start! I am thrilled to be back in front of my trusty MacBook Air and ready to shift this year into high gear. There is so much I want to do to help you be super successful doing what you love. To kick off the year, I went to beautiful Cabo San Lucas for a week of rest and relaxation. As a fairly seasoned backpacker, I was always a turned off by the idea of...
Since the holidays are in full swing and I know you are super busy celebrating, I decided to take a little break from blogging. Next week I will be driving down to Arizona with my brother Chandler to spend a couple weeks with our parents. It is always a bit weird to celebrate Christmas in a warm climate surrounded by cacti, but I am really looking forward to it. I am also really excited to get...
It is snowing like crazy in Edmonton! Almost to the point where I am not sure how I am going to get the car out of the garage later on today. Anyways, staying by myself at my parent’s place over the past week has allowed lots of quiet time to reflect and get introspective. When life gets SO busy, as it has been for me the last month, it is super important to get quite and reflect on what you...
It has been a pretty intense month for me to say the least. Here’s how it all went down: I was trapped in NYC without power during Sandy. It was both a terrifying and incredible experience. Because of airport closures, I came home only a week before Make It Vancouver which turned out to be our best show to date. The Following weekend helped my brother Chandler sell a zillion Ole Originals...
When you are an artisan or crafter, the holiday season is when you really need to put your game face on and put everything into high gear. Leading up it can be a time of sleepless nights, panic attacks and complete overwhelm. Since I organize craft shows for a living, I see first hand the wear and tear it can have on our exhibitors. They arrive in the morning of set up with raccoon eyes, holding...
I am writing this from my parent’s house in snowy Edmonton, AB. Right now, I am wearing my pj’s and a big scarf wrapped around my neck (it’s my usual look when I am here!). I intended on making a video, but the thought of putting on make up and real clothes just seems like a lot of work. I think I am still recovering. Last weekend feels like a blur to me. Our Make It Vancouver show was our most...
I am crazy busy getting ready for Make It! Vancouver so I thought I would just post the coupon flyer.

Lot's of yummy stuff I hope you can put to use as you get ready for all your shows. Hope to see all y'all at Make It!! Sparkly love, xo Jenna
