The monthly membership for creative small business owners who want to do more effective marketing more consistently ⚡️

Making Good Happen is designed to help you create a marketing plan that will support your business and goals — and give you the ongoing accountability, support, and tools to make sure you consistently execute it.

 
 

Making Good Happen is for you if you’re a maker, business owner, or service provider and…

 
 
 

  • you have more ideas than you know what to do with, but rarely see them come to fruition

  • you feel like you’re stuck in a permanent state of overwhelm with all of the marketing things you “should” be doing

  • you find yourself constantly “researching”, consuming, and ideating… making vague plans without ever actually moving the needle

  • you aren’t yet seeing the impact and sales you know your business is capable of making

 
 

Nodding your head “yes” to one or more of these?

You’re in the right place.

 

Imagine this…

 
 

How amazing would it feel to:

 

  • have created a tailor-made marketing plan to help you achieve your business goals

  • know *EXACTLY* what marketing activities are on your plate each week (and do them consistently)

  • take so much action you hardly recognize yourself

  • be a part of [the *BEST*] community of other creative biz owners to lean on

  • make more sales and a bigger impact than ever before


Making Good Happen is here to help you do exactly that.

“This program has without a doubt been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself and my business.”

— Miranda, owner + jewelry designer at And Arlen

 

Hey, I’m Lauren 🥰

I’m an amateur baker, chronic procrastinator, solo travel lover, recovering perfectionist, bright color enthusiast, and Murder, She Wrote devotee.

And, also - a marketing coach for creative small business owners who want to get out of their own way and start taking action so they can have a business that makes them income and creates an impact.

After 8 years in corporate marketing, I quit my great-on-paper job in 2017 and started selling my handmade calligraphy greeting cards to my mom’s retail store.

A lot of ups, downs, and all-arounds later… I now own two creative businesses, host the Making Good podcast, and get to work with some of the most amazing small businesses around.

Here are a few things I believe:

💛 I believe in putting your values and what matters most to you at the heart of everything you do in your business.

💛 I believe that small businesses that lead with their values can make a huge impact on the world.

💛 And I believe that great marketing is one of the best ways to make that happen.

If you want to make a strategic, intentional marketing plan — and then CONSISTENTLY execute it (that’s the hard part!)…

… so you can experience the results and make the impact you KNOW your business is capable of…

I made Making Good Happen just for you.

What members are saying…

  • "Since joining Making Good Happen, I've learned new strategies for my marketing.

    I've become much more consistent across all my marketing, thanks to MGH's monthly plan template and support via Office Hours and Slack.

    I've gained a whole community of fellow small business owners who are smart, talented, supportive, and fun, and we're there for each other."

    Faye, Queen Fayzel
    greeting cards + paper goods

  • ”Lauren has this magnetic energy that just screams ‘YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES’. I've always felt seen with Lauren and that was really important in building my confidence.

    I finally saw that it was possible to grow my business with consistency and accountability, two things that Making Good Happen has opened my eyes to.”

    Christy, Full Bloom & Co
    paper goods + stickers

  • "Before joining MGH I felt like I was alone in trying to market my business. I was overwhelmed and have previously spent thousands of dollars on programs that didn't do anything for me or my business.

    MGH is a community that helps each other and cheers each other on.

    Lauren is that best friend in your marketing class who wants you to succeed. The know-how and enthusiasm she shares with all of us is incomparable to anything else I've experienced before."

    Zuza, Nicely Made
    brand designer

  • “Making Good Happen has changed the way that I plan, prepare, and think about my marketing. Not only was I not really actively marketing before I joined (hello analysis paralysis), but I was doing it on the fly if at all. Lauren really provides the tools and resources to better understand what can work for your specific business and how to implement it.”

    Sarah, Making Local
    small biz resources + events

  • “I was tired of trying to figure things out on my own. I was in desperate need of community, and MGH has been a perfect solution for that.

    Making Good Happen has totally changed how I approach my business - just in the first month, I learned so much about things like DIY PR, goal-setting, and building a marketing plan.”

    Gabby, Wooly Weenie
    handmade dog accessories

“This is the membership that I cannot say enough good things about. The people, the support, the guidance. It's the best place on the internet.”

— Stacey, feel-good systems strategist at Monday Made

 

Making Good Happen has exactly what you need to:

 
 

  • get out of your head and finally start taking the important marketing actions

  • build strong, supportive friendships with other small business owners who GET IT

  • start making more sales so you can make more of an impact

Ya ready? Let’s do this.

 

It’s time for you to reach more people, make more sales, and make the world a better place.

 

FAQs

  • No… and yes. Enrollment will be closed after February 2nd.

    We will open the doors back up several months down the line, however: the current bonuses and prices will no longer be available.

  • There is only one difference between these two memberships: the Premium membership includes everything in the Standard membership, as well as Office Hours.

    I host Office Hours once every week for 2 hours. You can drop-in and we’ll chat either via Slack DM or voice message. I’m there to help you with whatever I can support with: strategy, brainstorming, content reviews, planning, handling overwhelm, figuring out the next step… whatever!

  • Making Good Happen is designed to help you get the right things done in your marketing and business… not add to your “to do” list for the sake of it 🥰

    Think of Making Good Happen as a “choose your own adventure” kind of membership. How much time you spend in the membership will vary based on your business needs, bandwidth, working style, etc.

  • A new private podcast episode is released EVERY SINGLE WEEKDAY. Whaaat? I know.

  • We’d love to have you! The meeting times for the live events vary but are generally between 9am and 5pm Pacific time. However, not all members attend the events — there are plenty of ways to participate in this group and community aside from the calls.

  • Making Good Happen has members located in many different time zones, and we also have members with day jobs. For this reason, we vary the timing of events widely.

    I also want to say: there is no expectation whatsoever that you attend every event.

    (I would be surprised if you COULD attend all of the events.)

    Making Good Happen has a variety of different types of events and sessions — come for the ones that make sense for you given your business needs, interests and schedule.

  • I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all marketing.

    Just like we’re all different, so are our businesses and goals.

    Making Good Happen is designed to help you custom-build a marketing plan for your specific business.

    Our current members are made up of both product-based businesses and service-based businesses.

    If you’d like to talk through whether Making Good Happen is a good fit for you based on your specific business, feel free to start a conversation via DM over on Instagram: @laurentilden.

  • While Making Good Happen isn’t a 1-on-1 coaching program, you’ll have the opportunity to questions of me Lauren!), guest experts, and the other group members. There are also drop-in Office Hours once per week where you can ask me questions, brainstorm, get advice, etc.

  • I do my best to make Making Good Happen content available in a variety of formats to make it as available and useful to as many people as possible.

    All video recordings have optional closed captioning, and the transcript for every daily podcast episode is in the member portal.

  • Yes! If you’re on a monthly subscription, you can pause your membership if you know you can’t participate for a month or two given life circumstances. Just contact us to let us know and we’ll get you set up. You won’t be charged while your membership is paused.

  • I’m so confident that you’ll love this program that I offer a full refund if you decide that Making Good Happen isn’t for you within 7 days of joining.

  • Absolutely! We have many members who are side-hustling as they build their business.

    I encourage you to view Making Good Happen as a [most incredible!] buffet — take what works best for you and leave the rest!

“I cannot say enough good things about Lauren and MGH! The marketing guidance is consistently simple and highly effective, the tools evolve with the needs of the group, and the community is packed with skill, compassion, and support.

It's amplified my confidence as both a marketer and a business owner and fuels my motivation every day!”

Stacey, Monday Made
feel-good systems strategist

 
 
 

 “Lauren has put together an amazing program with Making Good Happen! She's so sweet and incredibly generous with her time and insight into all things small business. The community she's built is equally encouraging and helps keep me going even on the hard days of running a small biz.

The resources are a goldmine as well...particularly if you need help setting a strategy and consistent marketing plan. MGH has definitely helped me stay on task and check off my to do list rather than aimlessly wandering as is my usual habit.”

Ali, Wild Clementine

“Making Good Happen is worth way beyond the monthly subscription fee. Lauren provides a smorgasbord of helpful information that you can pick and choose what best works for your business and what you need in the moment.

I felt like I had a good start on my business, and the resources, information, and community I've gained through Making Good Happen is allowing me to feel more confident as a business owner. I am learning and gaining exactly what I need to take my business to higher levels of success.”

Matt, Here’s Your Host

”Before MGH, I felt like I was winging it with no real plans or guidance, and just hoping customers would find me, love me, and become instant super fans. I was discouraged and frustrated and knew I needed change, but had no idea how to even get started.

Even after just the first month of MGH, I felt like I had defined my business, had clear goals, and had a focused path forward with actionable tasks to make things happen.

Now I feel like I have endless resources, a support system, a place to turn for feedback, and am actually excited to continue to build my business.”

Kim, Bauble Bee

“This group has been life-changing for me.”

- Melissa, business owner + jewelry designer True Warrior Jewelry

“What’s your favorite part of MGH?”

  • The community for sure! But I like that whether you use ALL the tools and resources or only a few of them, there's a level of support and interaction that suits all needs and functions!

    Sarah, Making Local

  • (hard to choose! SO many elements I love!) I have found so much benefit in the Deep Work Sessions. The accountability really inspires me to focus on tasks that I would otherwise put off. The Deep Work Sessions have been so impactful for many of us, that we even initiate our own sessions through the Slack community, even when they aren't scheduled on the calendar. It is nice to know that there are other people there beside you in spirit.

    Matt, Here’s Your Host

  • I can't pick! 😅 Top three (in no specific order): Office Hours, Slack community, training

    Faye, Queen Fayzel

  • I think the guest experts have been particularly helpful. I also enjoy have the slack community and private podcast.

    Ali, Wild Clementine

  • I love the community and being able to interact with others.

    Melissa, True Warrior Jewelry

  • Slack community, training, guest experts and office hours

    Frieda, Seattle Learns German
