Lucky Break is all about life, liberty and the pursuit of an empire. Whether you're developing a new brand or on a quest to transform a spark of success into a full-on solar flare, I bet lunch and a pedicure that I can help.

My name is Lela Barker, and I'm a business strategist for makers and product designers who are serious about getting off the hamster wheel of running an artisan business. I foster emerging creative brands by infusing passion with the wisdom and strategic tools needed to evolve that passion into a sustainable business.

I've been a product-based entrepreneur myself since 2003, and my time in the entrepreneurial trenches has taught me heaps about wholesale strategy, product pricing, and brand development. I spend my days helping other moguls-in-the-making navigate those tricky areas so you can enjoy more traction, sleep better at night, and put more beauty out into the world, while building a business that makes you doing-cartwheels-excited.

Entrepreneurship is a wild ride and an intoxicating adventure, but it needn't be a white-knuckle affair. I'd be honored to help you work smarter this year by infusing your brand with nimble small business strategy. I hope you'll make yourself right at home here... I'll be cheering you on!
