If you've ever taken a traditional business course, then you'll know they tend to make assumptions that just aren't relevant to us creative
freelancers. They usually assume that the business will deal primarily in goods - making them, selling them, or both. They also assume that creative
people should run their businesses the same way as everyone else. That's not only untrue, but some of us just aren't natural business people. And
we suck at maths. However, we still need to know how to take care of ourselves. If this all sounds familiar, this is the business course for you.

The Running Your Own Creative Business course is absolutely essential for those seeking a successful
career in the creative industries. Although as creatives we often prefer to concentrate on creative output,
financial viability and success relies on our ability to navigate the business arena.

How do you manage an irregular income stream? What are the legal and taxation obligations of your
business? How do you develop a valuable and workable business plan? How should you structure your
contracts ? And what should you look for prior to signing one? How does copyright law work in regards to
your own work and that of others? How can you market and present your business in a memorable and
unique way? Is word of mouth the only way to get clients?

These questions and more will be answered and participants will walk away with new understanding and a
defined path forward.

All the Freelance Success workshops and courses give you a real-life look at the practicalities, hardships
and joys of being freelance, because they are devised and supervised by Monica Davidson. Monica is a
freelance filmmaker and writer since 1987 who has never had a so-called 'proper' job. An award-winning
speaker and trainer, she leads as many of the Freelance Success workshops as she can. She also sucks
at maths. She will be leading this course.
