Conquering Creatives: Mastering your craft and the business of your craft

At best, it’s just a boring necessary evil. At worst, it’s terrifying and paralyzing. However, with a few simple mindset shifts and by using a few simple strategies, you can become “good enough” at the business side to grow an unstoppable creative business and unlock your greatest potential. Join William Warren as we discuss a few “conquering creative” business topics to help you take the next step toward the creative career of your dreams.
