@martinaflorstudio: My first workshop? Completely free. One student showed up. I had no fancy plan—just the drive to teach and share what I loved. Today? That little seed grew into the leading lettering program in the world, teaching hundreds of students at a time. Here’s the truth: You need to create first and monetize later. Put those ideas into the world. Start small. Create tiny experiments and see what resonates. ✨ That’s how you find the overlap between what you LOVE doing and what people will actually pay you for. It all starts with showing up—before you feel “ready.”
