Business Basics Bootcamp

Business Basics Bootcamp is a free, eleven week, sequential course designed to get your small business formalized. Focused on artists who are self employed or sole proprietors, this course will cover legal and tax entities; marketing basics; finance basics; intellectual property; contracts; and accessing other resources. This will help you access small business funding and supports, as well as organize your business skills in support of your artistic practice. You are encouraged to attend all of the sessions, but it is not required. The classes will be recorded and available to view here the day after the class. Mollie will hold office hours each week, you can either drop in to Zoom office hours between 3 and 4pm and Thursdays, or set up an appointment to ask questions, get additional support, or fill out/start paperwork discussed in the course. All resources, links, class slides, and readings will be available on this page.

Week One

Introduction, Values Identification, Goal Setting.

Note: Since this session was very interactive, and we spent the majority of the time either doing work or sharing the results, I have only shared the slides and not the recording. The slides will take you through the exercises we did.
