Even artistic geniuses need at least some business savvy to achieve the financial independence necessary to devote full-time to their art.  In this fast paced, entertaining program, you will learn the basic business, legal and tax skills necessary to survive, from a successful entrepreneur who is also an author and performer.

In this first seminar the following will be covered:
  • Who buys your creative product, and what are they looking for?
  • Giving the customer what they want without “selling out” and the art of making money from your art
  • Developing a recognizable “brand image”
  • Contracts, copyrights and trademarks
  • Dealing with taxes and avoiding lawsuits
