Those of us running small micro businesses are often faced with having to do things that we've never had to do before. From keeping track of the money / finance, through to artwork and marketing... and then technology... social media... legal... the list goes on and on.
It is sometimes very tempting to throw money (we don't have) at a task in order to get the job done.
What you will learn :- There are a huge number of free and very low cost resources that can fill in the knowledge gaps.
In this workshop you will learn about many tools that are simple to use, effective and mostly free. These can be deployed right away and remove some of the obstacles you many be experiencing.

Running your own business doesn't mean you have to go it alone. If you would prefer to work with a team all looking out for each other, this 'Learning Session' will open the door to begin that journey... focusing on 4 types of growth...
- Personal Growth (develop yourself)
- Connections Growth (widening your personal network)
- Business Growth (supporting and helping each other)
- Community Growth (giving back to our local community)
Once seen as the 'bright new world' social media has now evolved. It is driving quickly towards 'people and relationships' rather than 'buy my stuff'. This requires us to have a 'strategy' for engagement rather than just post more stuff that progressively will be seen by fewer and fewer people.
By working together we can co-create new, cleaner, crisper ways of working together and providing information in a much more organised and varied way.
