I'm Rosie, and I have spent the last twenty seven years running a bespoke commission business on the Isle of Man — engraving stone house signs, awards, memorial pieces, gifts and plaques for individuals, businesses and organisations across the island and beyond.
Every job is different. Every client brings their own brief, their own timeline, their own idea of what they want — and my job is to listen carefully, make something that fits, and deliver it in a way that feels personal rather than transactional.
That kind of work teaches you things that no business course covers. How to manage multiple bespoke commissions simultaneously without losing your mind. How to price something unique with confidence. How to keep clients informed without the whole thing becoming a second job. How to build a business on reputation and relationship rather than volume and visibility.
I learned most of it by trial and error, over many years, while also raising a family, organising community events, and generally getting on with things.
Just Three Places is the system I built for myself and now offer to other one-person businesses — people who do ALL THE THINGS and need a system that keeps the making part from drowning in everything else. Available as a DIY download or as a done-for-you service at three levels.
Plain English, always
Small, achievable steps rather than overwhelming systems
Honest about what works and what doesn't
No hype, no pressure, no false urgency
I am based on the Isle of Man, where I live on a farm in the Manx hills with my dog Ruby. I work from a studio in a converted sheep shed at Grenaby, where nine independent artists each get on quietly with their own work.
