![]() ![]() Now is a good time to ask yourself if you have made plans for the success of your own business. ![]() They often assume you will work for free or almost nothing at all, often offering exposure as a way of payment (this is a topic that deserves its own discussion, so I’ll get back to you on that one with some tips and advice on how to deal with it). Having worked in the performing arts industry for almost 20 years now in various leadership roles, I know first hand of the struggles to raise funds to pay for activities and how hard it can be when you feel that you are under-valued and under-appreciated by potential clients. Because, let´s face it, most of us didn’t start working in the arts to make money, but as it happens money is necessary to keep us afloat, survive and thrive. Want to know how to do your own bookkeeping, charge VAT in the arts industry or run a business? Well, look no further – this is a great place to get started. During this week, or even the whole month in many places such as Swedenfor instance, you will get access to seminars, workshops, competitions, events and much more, all with the aim of supporting you as a business owner. This is a great initiative, even for arts entrepreneurs who have a career in the cultural and creative industries, so if you haven´t checked it out then I recommend that you do so. As I am writing this, I just noticed that the Global Entrepreneurship Week started all over the world and that I – had I not been researching entrepreneurship as part of an online programme I am working on – would have missed it. ![]()
