Elaine will lead discussions and activities to empower creative entrepreneurs and freelancers to follow their passions and build sustainable careers. Topics covered will include goal setting and the art of budgeting for projects both personal and professional. Elaine will also share the best ways to manage irregular cash flow, including the how to determine the “right” amount of cash to have on hand. Tax and healthcare questions common to creative entrepreneurs will be covered on Day 2, and throughout the workshop, Elaine will answer questions from participants in this intimate workshop-style session.

The event will take place at Millworks Studios which is located at 2020 Leonard Avenue in Columbus between Woodlawn and Brentnell Avenues.  Update: Registration is Open! Don’t wait — This will fill up!
