Turning Skills Into Income – How Founders Make Money (Free Workshop London)

Founder Forge is London’s free business school for people who want to build a business from their skills, experience, or knowledge.
This session is for anyone who knows they have something valuable to offer but feels unsure how to turn it into actual income, or worries they need a big idea before they can start.
It’s led by a founder who has built and scaled multiple businesses to six figures and will break down how founders really make their first money, without investors, big audiences, or perfect plans.

why most people underprice or overcomplicate offers
