Bulletproof Your Income
Your key to a financially viable art practice
The course titled "Bulletproof Your Income" is a response to the changing face of the creative sector in the past two years. It is a hands-on, active and interactive training course created for creative entrepreneurs to secure and grow their independent businesses. We will guide you with practical knowledge, but more importantly, we'll share real-life experiences with you. You'll be equipped with a lot of tools to make creativity your main income, instead of it being a side-hustle.
This course is delivered by two industry experts. You can find Monika's profile on this website and John's profile below. We are looking forward to welcoming you on your journey to financial independence.
Is this you?
Taking the first steps into the world of the creative enterpreneur is not easy. You have graduated from the school of "giving my services away for free". You have learnt a lot: you consumed videos, podcasts and poured over Youtube to find information relevant to your business. You accumulated information, yet have no idea how to apply it. One day you are productive and the next you don't want to do anything. And although you want to dedicate yourself fully to your business, you do not dare to leave your day job.
OR
You are a creative business owner yet you face new challenges. You needed to position your brand, went from theory to practice, but you don't see results. You don't have an identity. When you think about raising prices, your mind says that you will lose your customers. You dream of collaborating but you don't dare to approach anyone, and although you have good ideas, you see others implement them easily before you get the chance.
What will you learn?
Session 1. Business essentials for the 21st century
Session 2. Attracting clients + achieving high converting sales of products and services
Session 3. Making a living by installing multi stream incomes
Session 4. Maximising artists potential by monetising with the use of technology and data
Industry experts
”I like to place emphasis on self-reliance and self-discovery, meaning that I prefer to take on the role of a mentor. I won't serve you up a sea-bass dinner, instead, I will provide the fishing rod and show you where the best fishing is. The rest is up to you.”
- Monika Fischbein
