Lessons in Making It

April 2021

Written by Tony Ubertaccio


The Ubertaccios Settled in Asheville and Built a Six-Figure Business in Two Years, Learning Plenty of Lessons in Entrepreneurship Along the Way 

They said, “bring your own jobs,” So we did. In early May of 2019, just three days after arriving in town from Brooklyn, New York, my wife Sarah and I incorporated Making It Creative, LLC, in the great state of North Carolina. Since that day, we’ve used our LLC to run a small marketing business as well as produce our podcast called Making It in Asheville.

As we approach our two-year anniversary both in town and in business, we wanted to share some of the strategies we leveraged to quickly make friends, build a community, and—perhaps most relevant to this publication—grow a six-figure business in a town where we knew no one.

Whether you’re like us and picked up this copy of Capital at Play while doing some reconnaissance on the town to see if it’s right for you, or if you’ve called these hills your home your whole life, we think these lessons will be valuable to you.
