If you have a desire to work for yourself, build a dream business, turn your creative passion into a career, or generally just need help getting your ideas off the ground – then this class is for you.

Artists, musicians, writers, designers – anyone within the creative sector and self-employed lifestyle, will find all the tools and guidance you need, to bring your ideas to life.

My journey from a weekly drop in session organised by 3 friends, to director of a multi-award winning company and charity founder, that employs multiple staff, is all shared here.

We’ll cover:

• How to move past imposter syndrome and take those first steps

• Turning your interests into income (without losing the love for your creative outlets)

• Refining your business idea, to ensure it’s greatest success

• Building multiple income streams that compliment your lifestyle

• The importance, benefits and methods of outsourcing

• Management of your time, energy and wellbeing

• Networking

• Useful productivity apps and approaches

You’ll also get plenty of honest insights, lessons I’ve learned and real-life examples from my journey as a teenage music lover, to music charity founder.

I love hearing from students and am available for any questions, so please reach out any time on Udemy or email.

I wish you all the best with your ideas and creative output – and hope to see you in the next lesson.
