SUMMARY:LITHGOW: Money is NOT a Dirty Word
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LIVE AND LOCAL \n\n\n\nThe starving artist is a pervasive idea\, and in reality many creative people struggle in self-employment because money is a constant battle. This isn’t always just due to lack of funds. Creative practitioners sometimes need the basics of business money and financial literacy explained in a way that is easy to understand. \n\n\n\nThis workshop helps to bridge that gap in financial literacy with an entertaining and real-world discussion of money that makes sense to the artistic brain. \n\n\n\nThe most common financial questions that creatives have are answered\, including:+ How do I weather the ups and downs of creative income?+ Do I have to keep working for free?+ What should I charge? How do I work that out?+ What’s the deal with cash flow and budgets?+ How do I invoice? How do I enforce an invoice?+ What’s the deal with tax\, and what is cloud accounting?+ Where can I go for more help? \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be relaxed and informal. You can ask all the questions you have never been able to ask before and will have ample opportunity to network and get to know each other. \n\n\n\nIdeal for: This workshop is tailored specifically to creative people who are (or want to be) self-employed in some capacity. It is ideal for recent graduates\, freelancers and small arts organisations. \n\n\n\nWhat do I get?All participants of this workshop also receive:+ Printed materials to help during the workshop;+ Lifetime access to a dedicated MONEY dropbox folder full of additional resources and help;+ Access to a web page full of links and resources to help you get ahead in their creative business. \n\n\n\nWho is presenting?Monica Davidson is an award-winning expert on the creative industries\, who began her professional life as a freelance journalist and filmmaker. In 2014 Monica completed her Masters degree in Screen Arts and Business at AFTRS\, and was appointed as the first NSW Creative Industries Business Advisor by the Department of Industry. Shortly after she founded the social enterprise Creative Plus Business\, which is dedicated to educating creative people about small business and marketing skills. In 2019\, Monica was awarded the QUT Creative Enterprise Australia award for being a Creative Trailblazer that “advocates\, mentors\, donates\, educates and advises within Australia’s creative economy”. Monica continues to work as a writer\, filmmaker and occasional performer. \n\n\n\nWhat’s Creative Plus Business?We’re a social enterprise dedicated to educating creative people and arts organisations about business skills. We help through sharing practical knowledge in a fun and irreverent way\, and everything we do is designed to help creatives to feel more confident and comfortable about the entrepreneurial aspects of their creative practice. We believe that a bit of naughtiness\, tempered with a kind heart and a big dose of professionalism\, is the key to helping creative people understand the boring basics of business. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: if you have any access requirements\, please email hello@creativeplusbusiness.com \n\n\n\nVenue: Lithgow Transformation Hub\, Mort St & Bridge St\, Lithgow NSW 2790 \n\n\n\nBOOK NOW:https://events.humanitix.com/live-and-local-creative-plus-business-presents-money
