How to make money as a Creative Services Firm
Working in a creative industry can be a joy, doing what you love to do, helping your clients with your expertise, but then there's the question of making money. As a freelancer it was easy to make money, but now that I have employees, and offices, and phone systems, and insurance, it's gotten much more difficult. Brad Farris, helps owners of creative services firms to build their business. In doing so he's found some rules of the road that can multiply the profits you receive from your creative business without ruining the joy that the work brings.
The specialty of Anchor Advisors is working with creative services to help build entrepreneurial best practices, and to help small companies build and grow a powerful and sustainable business, at any stage of your company's growth. It's a great opportunity to talk about real strategic growth, and what you may be doing that's getting in the way. I highly encourage you to join us. Keep an eye on your in-box. Tickets will be available a week before the event.
