A lot of creatives I talk to hesitate when it comes to teaching their craft.
They say things like:
“I’m not ready yet.”
“I’d rather just focus on making.”
“If I teach, I’ll give away my secrets.”
But here’s what I’ve seen again and again:
👉 Teaching your craft is one of the smartest business strategies you can add.
Why? Because teaching doesn’t just share your skills — it grows your business in ways you might not expect.
Here are 5 reasons why:
1️⃣ You build authority. The moment you start teaching, you position yourself as the go-to person in your field.
2️⃣ You create trust. Sharing your process and knowledge shows transparency and builds strong relationships with your audience.
3️⃣ You open a new income stream. Workshops, courses, and training can bring reliable revenue alongside your main work.
4️⃣ You attract opportunities. Speaking engagements, collaborations, and partnerships often come to those who teach.
5️⃣ You expand visibility. Teaching puts you in front of people who may later become your customers, collectors, or biggest supporters.
And about that “secret” fear? ✨ The truth is: people don’t just come for your techniques — they come for you, your perspective, your way of guiding them. Teaching doesn’t take away your uniqueness, it highlights it.
That’s why I created The Workshop Way™: a step-by-step method that helps artists and makers turn their craft into profitable workshops. It’s not just about teaching — it’s about creating a business model that supports your creativity and your income.
