As the New Year approaches, do you or a loved one have an idea you’d love to see come to life? Have you been thinking about starting a business or rebranding an existing company but not sure where to begin?
Well I have a solution for you. It’s a 5 step program known as Brainstorm To Brand™ that will help you gain clarity, navigate the noise, and finally get down to business.
Brainstorm To Brand™ is a self-paced online course designed for dreamers, creatives, and solopreneurs who have dreams of starting their own passion-driven business.
However due to various obstacles – lack of resources, lack of confidence, analysis paralysis, full time job, family + kids etc – haven’t been able to get their idea off the ground.
Truthfully, you probably haven’t started because the thought of wearing all the hats – creative director, accountant, salesperson, social media guru – is not only daunting but intimidating.
All you want to do is go from your idea to executing what you love.
As a former corporate consultant who transitioned to running my own business in a completely different industry, I can totally relate to everything you are feeling!
As a matter of fact, I can confidently say I have probably made every possible mistake you can make – spending a fortune I didn’t have, operating without a business plan and just a gut feel, giving up on a plan of action too early, not pivoting from said action early enough, making the right decisions regarding clients and how to deal with feast / famine seasons and so much more.
I have looked failure in the eye more times that I would care to admit.
But through it all, I have learned that there are 5 Must-Do Activities For Creatives & Solopreneurs To Take Them From Brainstorm To Brand™ that had I known to put in place when I started down the path of entrepreneurship, would have mitigated several of the pitfalls I faced and I would have had a smoother transition.
