Three days after receiving a copy of this book I had finished it. It was easy to follow, enjoyable to read and I carried it everywhere with me. If you want the nuts and bolts, the “where to start” and are keen to learn how to get your creative mind thinking about business this is the book for you. It covers everything from marketing to intellectual property.

Craft Inc.
Meg Mateo Ilasco
The first crafty business book I read was Meg Mateo Ilasco’s Craft Inc; Turn your creative hobby into a business. I asked for it for Christmas one year – loved it! I learnt so much and found it really easy to follow. I also had a number of moments reading the book where I thought “How does she know that about me!” It was the perfect book for me and helped me find the confidence to launch my first business.
