Ever wanted to turn your creative dream into a business reality? Are you already freelancing and want to know if you’re doing things properly? This fast, fun and information-packed workshop covers all the basics for creative people who want to work for themselves. It includes goal setting, planning, money matters, tax, contracts and marketing tips. It’s ideal for recent graduates, freelancers and anyone struggling with the business aspects of their creativity.

The workshop has been created to be relevant no matter what your profession – filmmakers, writers, designers, visual artists, musicians, composers, dancers, performers – everyone can benefit from a quick introduction or refresher to the basics of business.

Business Basics for Creative People is presented by creative industries expert Monica Davidson from the Creative Plus Business Group, in her fourth partnership with Vivid Ideas Sydney! Monica is a writer and filmmaker by trade, who learned how to run a successful creative business and now shares that knowledge with others.

All participants also receive a printed workbook and access to a dedicated webpage full of links and resources to help them get ahead in their creative business. The workshop is relaxed and informal, you can ask all the questions you’ve never been able to ask before, and participants will also be given ample opportunity to network and get to know each other.
