OPLOTKI Punch needle/Tufting PORTAL. I feel it will hang in Handmade Hotel/Home for Handmade. After over a Year of work it is finally DONE. Exactly around my 40th b-day. Coincidence? I don’t think so… Lordy, Lordy…look, who’s 40!

So my self-development addiction just went to a whole new level

Just realized my big bold mission is not only “empowering Polish handmade artists to build sustainable world class business on their unique skills “

NOPE…that would be just too obvious looking at Oplotki.

I just realized, why HAND-MADE SUCCESS is the phrase I just can NOT stop obsessing about…

It takes ….

courage

bold moves

talent

creativity

daring to be different

[and loooots more! …]

TO become a HANDMADE MILLIONAIRE

Yep.

Not an easy job, not an easy industry…

Or Quite the contrary if You choose to believe so!

but…

One thing is to nail the identity of Polish HANDMADE BIZ QUEEN (Yes, totally self-proclaimed!, just gave myself full permission to use this title after realizing my clients’ effects )

The whole other level is to inspire millions to follow the path of endless possibilities in this industry….

It takes huge

heart,

audacity,

[yep, and lots more..]

to take MILLIONS with YOU.

but it finally landed!

It was in my heart, soul since forever, finally landed also in my mind!

HANDMADE SUCCES is all about (not me!, but…) MILLIONS of people who can be touched by the power of

HAND-MADE.

And Yes, handmade means “crafting” skills, but

to me it is also …

the art of mindful everyday- just like weaving a piece of fine tapestry – thread by thread, day by day LIVING the masterpiece

the permission of making pattern different each time You knit -> just like in life! one goal, yet so many ways of getting there YOUR OWN UNIQUE WAYS! (ps. knitting doesn’t work? Try crocheting… )

NOT focusing on the FINAL PRODUCT, but on the PROCESS (Yep, I repeat myself after my very own speech ) that makes rooms for downfalls, triumphs, changing-your-mind, taking chances, giving and receiving help and soooo much more…)

[AND SOOOOO MUCH MORE…]

No ONE will silence me.

Remember who You are.

Whom You speak to.

And WHY.

BALI memories

“Life is not about breathing…It is about those moments that take Your breath away” Maya Angelou

I feel 3 categories for prices of success

My first online mentor and why I now mentor onboard her programs.

(a self-filfilling story/A memory from the future)

I sat by the fire and started telling them the story…

…

“She grew up as passionate artistic soul  between entrepreneurial parents of two.

Coal-mining grandfathers poured work ethics, consistency and enormous resilience. Wounded grandmas gifted sis/daughter/mum wounds to heal. She took the challenge.

Patriarchy was never the thing at home, but she felt its’ stinky breath through Polish societal norms. 

Studied hard, worked even harder to fight it. 

Camouflaged inner wounds with external success until her own kids cracked her open. 

She no longer could wear a mask. She had three human beings WATCHING. 

Masculine ways for success-building no longer served her. 

She womened up to explore what inside-out fulfillment looks like. 

She went on a quest to find herself. 

Through motherhood, crafting workshops, business/life coaching, wealth building she learned that handmade practice is like a compass. 

With each milestone she crossed, she drew a map for others to follow. 

HANDMADE SUCCESS she called it. 

And pledged devoting professional life to crafting the way to excavate womens’ inner wisdom through business, wealth, artistic expression, relationships.

She knew how to handle external obstacles. 

They just lit a fire under her butt. 

Fueled more expansion. 

Like rocket fuel blows a spaceship to explore the unknown realms, hostile environment just charged her batteries to reach more and more distant lands.

She landed herself in a vision from decade ago. 

Realized she lives a dream life.

At 40 she realized her space-ship needs more ambitious goal to stop going in circles. 

AND THEN…(PLOT TWIST)…THE VISION

She realized SHE was the gateway to abundance, joy and massive wealth for her family and clients. She did the work. Healed sis/mum/dad wounds. She took radical responsibility for making herself happier than ever and could overflow to kids/hubbie/friends/family/clients. 

SHE EMBRACED HER MISSION.

She opened handmade hotel – a beating heart of OPLOTKI. 

That’s where she could share her learnings, teach other teachers, spread HANDMADE SUCCESS like wildfire!

It quickly became a network, worldwide web of crafting centres. 

Interconnected hubs for inner growth. It was no longer about her. 

It became a movement, a legacy, a MASTERPIECE!

Endless collaborations, lifechanging conversations, tangible works of art symbolizing the way human hand connects to the mind and heart. 

MILLIONS touched by the power of handmade.

She achieved her mission and because of that … she touched millions who crafted their way to own definitions of HANDMADE SUCCESS. 

Not only artists, craftsmen! 

Entrepreneurs, Mums, Corporate…

They all drew inspiration from what she has created over her lifetime!

The ripple effect was beyond her imagination. 

On her deathbed she released that all her BIG DREAMS she carried in her heart at 40 came true … as a by-product of pursuing THE MISSION! 

She travelled the world … to tell her story.

She connected to inspiring people…by becoming true inspiration.

She rekindled her marriage again and again … through passionate overflow of abundance.

She modelled for her kids how to be nothing but THEMSELVES … by how

She fully became who she truly was.

SHE DARED GREATLY. 

She experienced it all. 

The joy. 

The sadness. 

The love. 

The hate. 

The new begginings and definite endings. 

She navigated life with compassion and grace, living it fully.

She played to win.  She did NOT play not-to-lose.

HANDMADE SUCCESS was her North Star.”
