Free in-person workshop: Creative Clarity → Bold Marketing → Sustainable Profit You didn’t start a creative business because you love spreadsheets—but ignoring your numbers can quietly limit your creativity.

You’ll learn: • What bookkeeping is (and isn’t) • Why it matters to you • How to read your numbers so you know what ideas you can afford to test, scale, or scrap • Software options that fit creative workflows (not just QuickBooks) Once you have financial clarity, we’ll pivot into Guerrilla Marketing—where creativity becomes your unfair advantage. This workshop will show how creatives can market their business and use AI tools to: • Generate high-impact marketing ideas fast • Stretch tiny budgets into big visibility • Test unconventional concepts safely because they understand their financial runway • Replace expensive ads with creativity, strategy, and smart experimentation As marketing costs rise, creative businesses that understand both their numbers and their narrative win. This free workshop is ideal for creatives & small business owners who want to: • Stop guessing and start experimenting confidently • Market in ways that feel authentic (not salesy) • Build a sustainable business without sacrificing creativity Create boldly—without risking your business.
