Read on Twitter
I actually thought it would be harder to step away from Twitter for a little bit. In actual fact, it was exactly what I needed to focus for a little while.
One thing that became clear quite quickly was how reliant I was on Twitter for news. The first couple of days off here (and insta) I literally had no clue what was going on in the world. It was quite blissful, but also quite worrying. Had to diversify where I got my info from.
Anyway, I& #39;ve only really come back to share the fact that @AllWeDoIsVIM has released its first programme & #39;The Building Blocks Series& #39;. The series looks at what I call the unsexy elements of creative entrepreneurship - business formation, accounting, contracts, etc.
The first event is next Wednesday (Oct 21st @ 7pm) & it& #39;s all about & #39;Registering Your Business& #39;. We want to make sure you understand that the way you register your business impacts how you operate your business. You can register for tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/122258880603 ">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1222588...
The second event is on October 28th @ 7pm and it& #39;s all about managing your money as a freelancer or first time entrepreneur. Let& #39;s keep your house in order and records in check! You can register for tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/122266505409 ">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1222665...
Next up is Creative Law & Order on November 4th @ 7:30pm & this one will be especially useful to those who are in the business of creating content. This session will give you an overview of IP, licensing & brand contracts. Register for tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/122283295629 ">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1222832...
And the last in the series is Branding 101 on November 11th. What the heck is branding anyway and how do you develop a brand without the backing of large branding agencies? This session will cover that! Register for tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/122283761021 ">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1222837...
This programme is in beta, we& #39;re testing things out and therefore only making a small amount of tickets available. However, registration is free :) would really appreciate your feedback at the end of it though! I want to know what worked and how we could have made it better.
When I released our research project in July - August (though it& #39;s still live & I& #39;d still love to hear from you: https://visualiseinmotion.typeform.com/to/Dxk6vT )">https://visualiseinmotion.typeform.com/to/Dxk6vT... I was able to get so much clarity. It was reassuring to know that what I had planned actually resonated with people.
I& #39;ll also add that the creation of that survey was months in the making. I& #39;m talking 6 months of consideration and planning. So much care went into the framing of those questions, thinking about what it was I really wanted to find out, etc. So if you took part, shared, thank you!
It& #39;s the researcher in me, but 30% of it was also the procrastinator and imposter living rent free in my head, but that& #39;s an episode on our podcast I& #39;m producing and blog post I& #39;m writing.
I& #39;m learning at record speed. I& #39;m constantly having new found respect for 1 wo(man) band designers, strategists, copywriters, social media managers, podcast producers, etc. You lot are really next level and I salute you.
Nothing is perfect, but at least it& #39;s getting done. That& #39;s my philosophy at the moment. You& #39;ll have to deal with rough around the edges for now - I& #39;m just happy to have something to share that I can tidy up as I go along

In the meantime, sharing the links to the events in this thread would be much appreciated. I hope everyone is keeping safe, this world is still crazy and everyone is apparently still mad https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏾‍♀️" title="Achselzuckende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">
