Made Local Market

05/01/2026

Not all markets are created equal — and choosing the wrong one can make you question a business that actually has potential.

We see it all the time.....
Great products. Hard-working vendors.
...But the wrong crowd, no support, and zero guidance. That’s why at Made Local, we don’t just host markets — we help vendors learn before they leap.

If you’re thinking about selling at pop-ups (or already have and felt discouraged), this is your sign.

Registration is open for the Marketplace Series — a 100% FREE program brought to you by the Small Business Development Center, open to Riverside County, CA residents.

✨ Retail + Food Vendors

✨ Real education + real markets

✨ We provide your setup at your first market

✨ We cover your booth fee at a Made Local Market event

No risk. No cost. No more guessing.
📅 Classes start January 14th

If I were starting a business from scratch, these are the FIRST 6 books I’d read.

This book explains why most small businesses struggle — and how to avoid building a job instead of a business.

2️⃣ Atomic Habits – James Clear
Why it matters:
You’ll learn how small habits compound into big success and how to stay disciplined when results are slow.

3️⃣ Profit First – Mike Michalowicz
Why it matters:
You can be busy and still be broke. This book teaches cash flow, paying yourself first, and building a profitable business from day one.

4️⃣ Start With Why – Simon Sinek
Why it matters:
You’ll learn gow to clearly communicate your purpose, build a brand, and why storytelling matters.

5️⃣ Zero to One – Peter Thiel
Why it matters:
This book challenges you to stop copying what already exists and instead create something truly unique in your market.

6️⃣ I Will Teach You to Be Rich – Ramit Sethi
Why it matters:
Money mindset matters. This book teaches practical systems for managing money so your business supports your life — not the other way around.

🙌 Tips that GUARANTEE customers show up:

• Finally make a run to the bathroom
• Take ONE bite of your food
• Start a “quick” convo with the booth next to you
• Touch a box like you’re about to pack up
• The kid emergency activates (snacks or potty, no in-between)
• Check your phone for “two seconds”
• Say the forbidden words: “It’s been kinda slow or quiet…”

Every. Single. Time. 😅
If you know, you KNOW.
