"I joined Tara in the factory when I was feeling overwhelmed and a little lost, struggling with working alone.
Being part of The Factory keeps me motivated and gives me the space to bounce business ideas, hear others share their experiences and get newfound direction or clarity on what I should be doing.
The workshops are also really helpful for improving or learning ne
w skills or practices for your business. Tara has been an amazing support keeping me focused on the right things in my business, as well as a great help at getting rid of that self doubt that constantly tries to take over!
The factory has been a huge benefit to me personally and my business so far!"

The community is so supportive, there is always someone who is at the same stage as you, or having the same problem, and everyone is more than happy to share their knowledge and expertise.
Whether you just need to feel that you are not alone, or you need advice grounded in real life experience, this is the place to be.
The sessions are very much community led teaching what is salient to the group. I love the atmosphere of gentle accountability.
And last but by no means least Tara has the remarkable knack of reminding you just what is important, and where you need to place your focus when you are feeling overwhelmed and a bit lost."

" Before I joined the Factory I had nearly 20 years experience as a glass artist but little experience in running a business. That is where I was stuck.
The Factory has so many workshops in the library, I'm still working my way through them.
Tara is so incredibly passionate about helping all the members in The Factory succeed via Q &A sessions & accountability calls which allow you to ask for the help.
Even when I don't have any questions I listen to other business owners and learn & get inspired by them.
Not all business schools can boast they are a community as well and that's what makes The Factory so incredibly unique. Would I recommend it ? I'd sing it from the roof tops, 100% yes."

I’m a serial entrepreneur and TEDx speaker with 29 years of business experience.
I’ve built and sold two successful businesses, faced the tough decision to fold one, and made a bold pivot with another.
I’ve shared my expertise at Ireland’s top university, Trinity College Dublin, and even designed programs for government bodies—all while growing my own six-figure online business.
Along the way, I’ve navigated 2 kiddos, 1 wedding, 7 house moves, 2 house sales, 2 years of travel, 4 businesses, a thriving 30,000+ Creative Community and helped thousands of Creatives just like you.
If you’re ready to learn from the best and take your business to new heights, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
"I can’t praise the Biscuit Factory highly enough to do them justice. Joining up was a bigger turning point than I hoped or imagined. If you’re thinking about joining, do it! "

"I recommend the Biscuit Factory to everyone who mentions they are trying or planning to sell their craft! Tara and the team are so amazing and I love being in this group.
The factory has so much to offer for example educational videos, several weekly calls, guest speakers, masterclasses etc.
I have been on plenty of courses and mentoring groups over the past few years, The Biscuit Factory is really special though. Its a great place to meet other creatives, ask questions and learn how to get our work out there, get it seen and make our dream livelihood a reality. "

" I came into Biscuit supports as a sort of last resort - my business was stagnating and I was losing the passion for it, something needed to happen. During my time with Biscuit, I was given every tool that I needed and I had actually increased sales and interaction from the first week! The biggest impact was the encouragement and feeling of complete support that I received throughout. I would encourage anyone to jump in and embrace it, it will be the best thing you ever do!!
