APPLY FOR M4M TODAY!

Made 4 More is a good fit if you are:

  • a service provider, brick & mortar, or product-based business owner looking for more consistent sales without literally selling your soul or riding the feast-or-famine rollercoaster 
  • a budding small business owner who wants to build something sustainable, ethical, that also pays your bills (rather than starting a business just to remain stuck in the time-for-money hustle and eventually burning it to the ground) 
  • a corporate employee (with the heart of a small business owner) tired of being confined to endless Teams meetings & 24/7 emails and fully aware you're capable of so much more (ahem...like starting a business) 
  • someone who is exhausted and honestly angry with the "business as usual" while so much of our world is burning. you're ready to explore doing business differently, willing to push against dominant culture and status quo norms, and knows the capitalist system we're all existing in isn't actually benefiting us or the folks we serve

I've been in other business coaching relationships before and this is the first time I've felt like I'm building systems and practices tailor-made for me and how I work best.

In my first 1:1 conversation with Emily, she immediately dialed in on how my strengths were actually operating at such a high that they were getting in the way of some of my other goals. I felt so seen and valued for who I uniquely am - without any sense of judgement.

SHOW ME THE COURSES

Tell me more about doing Made 4 More with Emily... 

If you choose the Made 4 More with me version, here's a bit of what you can expect! 

Step 1: needs assessment & 90-day plan creation

Over the course of 4 months we'll have 8 one-on-one calls. In our first call we'll do what I like to call a needs assessment. What do you, the folks who rely on you, and your business need right now? From there we'll develop our first 90-day plan. 

Step 2: start the curriculum 

After completing your needs assessment you will fall into one of 3 buckets: market research & offer development, marketing, or sales. We will use the curriculum to support these activities and every other week you will come to your one-on-one call with homework complete and data to discuss. We will also begin to explore a deep unlearning I find all clients go through and enjoy: breaking up with hustle culture, finding your activist voice, and refusing "business as usual".

Step 3: monitor & assess 

Sessions 3-7 will be dedicated to monitoring how your work is progressing and influecing your needs and goals. We'll make adjustments as necessary and hold space for the inherent contradictions between prioritizing people and planet over profit while living in a capitalist system. 

Step 4: reflect & plan next steps 

In our final session we will reflect on all the work you've done (and gleefully not done!) and strategize on what makes the most sense for next steps and feels fun and joyful. If it's extending our container to work more, amazing, and if it's you going out and finding more resources to support your journey, totally rad. You'll leave the 4 months feeling like you know exactly what's next. 

SOUNDS AMAZING. I'M IN!

and tell me more about doing M4M solo...

There are two different tracks for the M4M curriculum: the Scientist Track and the Storyteller Track. There's also a bonus track called the Shopkeeper that is available when you buy all the courses together. Click the boxes below to read more about these tracks and feel free to email me [email protected] to get my opinion on which one would be most useful to you right now! 

a note on money and pricing...

 

It can often be challenging to know how much to price something. I work with clients on this every day in Made 4 More. While I readily acknowledge that “charge what you’re worth” has helped lots of marginalized folks ask for more, it also reinforces internalized capitalism. There is truly no dollar amount to ascribe to your worth. Your worth is beyond financial metrics. 

Instead I hope to help you identify what you must charge to meet your needs, the needs of your team, family, and community. In order to meet my personal needs and the needs of others who depend on me, I charge $3,000 to work with me 1:1. 

I know that the price point I have come to is out of reach for some. If that is you, I strongly encourage you to reach out and see how I work with folks experiencing financial hardship. I have limited scholarships available, I work with 2 separate grant providers, and I'm also quite savvy at helping you find money. All you have to do is ask! 

Can we talk money?

questions your fellow comrades have asked...

 

Hey! I'm Emily.  

I'm an Anti-Capitalist Business Coach and fierce advocate for small business owners. I've spent the last 8 years studying capitalism, individualism, neoliberalism and labor. Understanding power is at the root of essentially everything I do.

I've devoted my career to teaching folks how to grow ethics-based and values-driven businesses without exploiting their energy, the planet's energy, or anyone else's. I do this mostly through my anti-capitalist business coaching program, Made 4 More. In addition to running Emily Eley Creative, I'm also a mama to two tiny humans, a partner, a CrossFit athlete, an activist, and a small scale carpenter.

My mission is to empower womxn-owned business, BIPOC-owned business, queer-owned business and other folx from marginalized communities to generate social and ecological value with and without financial return.

If you speak strengths, my top 5 CliftonStrengths are: Activator, Maximizer, Strategic, Communication, and Futuristic.
