ONLINE: Cash Flow for Creatives
April 12, 2023 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
UNDERSTAND THOSE DOLLAR DOLLAR BILLS, Y’ALL
Understanding how to manage the flow of money in and out of a creative business is always a challenge – and in a pandemic, even more so. The roller coaster of income and expenses, the ‘famine and the feast’, can be managed – but only with some expert advice and real-world examples to help.
Cashflow for Creatives is an interactive online workshop that guides participants as they learn more about the irregularity of income that accompanies creative business, and how to manage their cash flow through practical tools and steps (NOT formulas).
With a focus on the arts and creative industries, this workshop will cover:
+ The reality of managing the Famine and the Feast
+ Understanding and creating your budgets
+ Tips from a pro to help ‘regularise’ your cashflow
+ Getting organised – and staying that way
At the completion of the workshop you will have:
+ Lifetime access to a Cashflow for Creatives Dropbox folder jam-packed with resources
+ A workbook to help with the practical elements of the workshop
+ The option of more one-to-one advice from a creative business specialist
All questions are welcome in this relaxed, safe and inclusive workshop. Participants are also encouraged to share their own experiences and network with their fellow practitioners.
