Reclaim Your Weekends 
Without Sacrificing 
Your Revenue

Michelle Simmons – Founder, Slow North • Community Lead

You're Running Two Businesses Right Now. One Pays the Bills. One Fuels Your Soul.

Sunday nights hit different when you're building something that matters.

You spend all week at your day job, counting down the hours until you can get back to your real work. The business that lights you up. The thing you'd do full-time tomorrow if the numbers were there.

So you squeeze it into the margins — early mornings before your commute, lunch breaks at your desk, evenings when you're already running on empty, weekends that vanish into production runs and shipping orders.

You're working harder than ever. Two businesses. Two schedules. One very tired you.
And the hardest part? You can't see the finish line yet.

You know you want out of your 9-5. You know your business could replace your paycheck. But the path from here to there? It's blurry. And you're running out of steam.

You need more than motivation. You need a plan. And people who've actually done it.

Start building your no-burnout exit strategy

If Nothing Changes, Where Will You Be in Two Years?

Still juggling both. Still exhausted every Sunday night. Still wondering when it gets easier. 

Or maybe you hit a wall so hard you had to step back from the business you built. 

Here's what you already know: this pace isn't sustainable. 

You can't keep running two businesses on willpower alone, squeezing your real work into the cracks of someone else's schedule, without strategy, without support, without a clear path to full-time. Something has to shift. You can either build sustainably now, or watch burnout make the decision for you.

What If You Had a Real Exit Strategy (and a Community With The Same Goals)?

Momentum Makers is a community of handmade business owners who are exactly where you are: juggling day jobs, building their businesses, and strategically planning their escape from corporate.

This isn't another course you won't finish or a Facebook group full of noise. This is real support. Real strategies. Real people who understand what it's like to build your freedom while still showing up to the job you're trying to leave.

You'll get the roadmap, the accountability, and the community to finally make this work, without burning out first.

Momentum Makers gives you the roadmap, community, and accountability to:

Your Road Map From Day Job to Full-Time Maker

Step 1: Get Clear on Your Numbers
Know exactly what your business needs to earn to replace your paycheck. Fix your pricing so you're actually making money, not just staying busy.

Step 2: Build Systems That Sell While You Sleep
Create consistent revenue streams that don't require you working 24/7. Develop marketing that fits your schedule. Land wholesale accounts that bring predictable income.

Step 3: Scale Without Burning Out
Hit your revenue goals while protecting your evenings and weekends. Automate the repetitive stuff. Delegate what drains you. Build a business that doesn't run you.

Step 4: Leave Your 9-5 With Confidence
You've built the financial foundation. You've proven the model works. Now you get to do what you've been dreaming about—full-time.

No reckless leaps. Just a clear plan to replace your income with confidence.

I Spent 10 Years Building Slow North. Let Me Save You Some of the Hard Lessons.

Hi, I'm Michelle Simmons, founder of Slow North, which I built starting in my kitchen. Fast-forward to 10 years later, and Slow North is a 7-figure handmade business with 40,000 customers.

But here's what nobody tells you: success almost burned me out completely.

I was working 70-hour weeks, saying yes to every opportunity, and watching my profit margins shrink even as revenue grew. I had built the business I wanted... and lost myself in the process.

The systems I teach in Momentum Makers? They're the exact ones that saved my business.

Now I help other makers skip the burnout phase and build sustainable growth from day one. Because you shouldn't have to sacrifice your weekends (or your sanity) to build a profitable handmade business.

From Overwhelmed to Organized, Here's Your Roadmap Over the Next Year.

Q: I'm still working my day job full-time. Will I have time for this?

A: Absolutely. Most members are juggling day jobs right now. Monthly lLive calls are recorded so you can watch on your schedule. The community is async—you engage when it works for you. Early mornings, lunch breaks, evenings. This is designed for people with limited time.

Q: How long until I can realistically leave my 9-5?

A: It depends on your current revenue, your salary, and how much time you can dedicate. Some members go full-time in 6-12 months, others take 18-24 months to build financial safety. We'll help you create your specific timeline based on your numbers and goals.

Q: What if I'm not sure I'm ready to leave my job yet?

A: That's exactly why you should join. This community will help you figure out if/when going full-time is right for you. You'll get clarity on your numbers, test your business model, and connect with others who've made the leap. No pressure to quit tomorrow, just strategic support for the journey.

Q: I'm afraid of leaving my stable income. Will this help with that fear?

A: Yes. We focus on building financial safety BEFORE you quit. You'll learn how to price profitably, build consistent revenue streams, and create the runway you need to leave with confidence, not panic. Plus, you'll be surrounded by people who understand that fear.



Q: What's the cancellation policy?

A: No contracts, no commitments. Stay as long as it's helping you. Cancel anytime.
