If you've found yourself wringing your hands in frustration or having a cheeky cry (no shame, we've all been there!) because you simply don't know what steps you need to take to get your business off the ground, take a breath — we've got you. This course will teach you everything you need to know to lay solid foundations for your forthcoming entrepreneurial venture.
Creative Start-Up is the beginners guide to creative entrepreneurialism. In the thousands of hours that we've spent teaching and advising our clients, we've noticed a glaring knowledge gap: the foundations of best practice in business. Across four modules, the course explores getting started and your legal obligations, how to manage your money and make sound financial decisions, how to figure out who your audience is and how to build reciprocal relationships with them, and of course, some guidance on how to stay happy, healthy, and creative in business.
You can expect engaging video content, downloadable worksheets, and a bunch of supporting resources to help you develop your ideas and move towards meeting your goals.
