The holidays are right around the corner, but there is even one more BIG reason to celebrate this week! Grab your dancing shoes—we here at Team indie are shouting out the loudest and brightest HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our wonderful friend, founder, and fearless leader, Donna Maria!
Donna Maria started Indie Business Network in 2000 with the goal of helping makers and artisans smash down the corporate ladder and build their very own business. For nearly 23 years (almost half her life!), she has full-heartedly dedicated herself to uplifting others and cheering them on to their entrepreneurial dreams.
Well today, we turn the tables and shine the spotlight back onto this spectacular woman! She has inspired us, and thousands of other entrepreneurs, artisans, and maker businesses in countless ways.
We at Team Indie are so proud to call her both a mentor and friend—and send her extra special love on this BIG DAY!
If Donna Maria has inspired you over the years, head on over to our Instagram party to wish her a very happy birthday as she sets out on another beautiful trip around the sun!
