The Handmade Business Holiday Command Center
Get the holiday season out of your head and into one place you trust.
A free 17-page Q4 planner for handmade and creative businesses — orders, inventory, launches, marketing, shipping, and all the little things your brain should not have to remember.
What's inside
- The Big Holiday Brain Dump — empty your head onto paper in 20 minutes, then sort every item into Do Now, This Week, Schedule It, or Not Now.
- October, November and December calendars with Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and every holiday already marked.
- A work-backward launch planner so your important dates stop sneaking up on you.
- Order & shipping cutoff worksheets you can post everywhere you sell.
- Inventory & supply control — find what can stop production before it does.
- The Weekly Top 3 planner and a 15-minute Friday reset, so Monday doesn't start with detective work.
- Six copy-paste AI prompts that do the sorting for you.
- A holiday readiness scorecard that shows you where the next useful improvement actually is.
Print the whole thing or only the pages you need. Write on it. Cross things out. Spill coffee on it. This is a working business tool — not a pretty planner you're afraid to use.
I'm John. I make metal signs for wreath makers and help small handmade businesses stop fighting their own technology. I built this planner because I needed it myself — and because "I'll remember it" has never once worked in November.
