Next Steps Let’s pause for a bit and take in this moment… because
you’ve done it! You followed the GPS through your SuccessGuide and traveled down the road of your first 30, 60, and 90 days as a successful Maker. We couldn’t be more proud of you and the strong business habits you created these last 90 days. Your hard work will lead to a sustainable, growing business built upon a solid foundation. You probably experienced a detour or two. You can probably think back to a roadblock you had to work hard to overcome. We’re confident you reached your desired destination, but even if you didn’t get exactly where you planned to go, you’re likely very, very close. Remember where you were 90 days ago and compare it to where you are today. Congratulations are certainly in order for all the amazing progress you made! You are becoming known for helping people in your community find their creative side. You have stepped into a leadership role by helping others unleash their creativity and find financial freedom alongside you. You are an entrepreneur. A creator. A business owner. A leader. A difference Maker. You are a Maker!
