Discover how to harness the power of 'can't' and turn it into creative energy to help you pursue your passions - both personal and professional - and shape a successful, thriving life. Shelley Brander was no stranger to the word 'can't'. You can't be an athlete, you have asthma. You can't be a successful copywriter, you're a girl. Your son has autism, he can't be cured. You can't make a living with yarn. But she proved all her detractors wrong when she opened Loops, a local yarn store in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1994. Since then, Loops has thrived, expanding from a single storefront to a global creative brand with a passionate and active membership community of knitters, crocheters and crafters. This book is about pursuing your life's passions no matter how weird or impossible they may seem. We're still living in a time where the entrepreneurial maker is too often told, 'You can't make a business out of that', but in this book you will learn how to turn your can'ts into cans and: * make your creative side hustle your main gig * celebrate creativity and experimentation * accept failure as a part of the process * have hope against the odds * surround yourself with supportive people * cut ties with those who weigh you down * believe in you and your weird, impossible dream!
