Mar 6, 2020, 12:30 – 3:00 AM

No matter how unconventional or creative your business is, there are a few conventions all business owners should understand if you want to turn your passion into a real paycheck. When you're more "right-brained" than business trained, you need someone who speaks your language to go through those core conventions in a way that makes practical sense to you and the type of business you're in.

How to Run a Successful Business as a Creative Scatterbrain Workshop

No matter how unconventional or creative your business is, there are a few conventions all business owners should understand if you want to turn your passion into a real paycheck. And when you're more "right-brained" than business trained, sometimes you need someone who speaks your language to go through those core conventions in a way that makes practical sense to you and the type of business you're in.

Enter Liz London.

Whether you own a tattoo shop, a pet business, a pole dance fitness studio, or a unicorn-themed cannabis bakery, Liz serves up serious business advice in a not-so-serious manner. 

If you have several business ideas but aren't sure of the skills and resources you need to start-this is for you!

Are you overflowing with ideas? Maybe your ideas don't fit in the mainstream of business ideas?  Do you want to master multiple streams of income? Passionate about different causes? Are you trying to balance your 9 to 5 with your side hustle?  Then you should be at this interactive and engaging workshop!

All materials are provided for this workshop. Light food and beverages will be provided.

Register early and receive a copy of Liz's book "The Business Bible for the Unconventional Entrepreneur". 

"London's advice is direct, clever, and funny to boot." -Barbara Corcoran, ABC's Shark Tank
