Creative people often start businesses because they have a passion for their work, and then dive immediately into serving clients. You probably started your own business this way. But then, a little way down the road, you realized you were running a business. Now you’re caught up in trying to bring in business and keep your books and chase down payments and coordinate with vendors. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your business actually took your stress away, gave order to the chaos, and provided you with the support you need?
In this class you’ll learn how to reduce time managing your business; spend less time chasing clients; be more creative; reduce stress; increase productivity; gain control, focus, and momentum; increase your peace of mind; and increase profits.
