Basically… what you want to avoid when starting your own business! You need to be different, unique, stand out from the crowd.
However… cliches are also commonplace; they are well known and comforting. Believe it or not, people use them in everyday conversation without even realising. And actually, you want to become that too – a business that can be relied on, that is recognisable and trustworthy.
Testimonials:
“Pearls of Wisdom from the Crafty Lass at the CLICHE Workshop.
Thank you Paula for a thoroughly enjoyable, informative and inspiring morning where you generously shared your crafty business journey. The relaxed atmosphere in the studio, (including strawberries and choc chip shortbread), enabled a great group of ladies to exchange tips, advice, encouragement and fears. I am so glad that I made the journey from North Norfolk.” Ann Mason, Norfolk
“A really inspiring workshop full of practical advice and some clear notes to take away. Paula was very generous in sharing her own Crafty Lass journey and her persistence on this has certainly given me the self belief to pursue my own ‘crafty’ route. This workshop is for everyone, whatever stage you’re at!” Caroline Colam, Market Harborough @caroline.create
Please note: I am not a trained ‘career expert’. These views are purely my own and based on what I have learnt along my crafty business journey so far. Running your own business is amazing: it provides you the flexibility to adapt your career and ‘normal’ life around whatever you are doing that day, week, month. The sky is the limit. However – it requires a real decision to just go for it, passion, dedication, to be willing to work long hours and wear many hats… To start with, it is scary. But, it doesn’t need to be – once you are up and running, you will be living the dream!
Nearer to the time, I will confirm participants the ‘Zoom’ meeting link for this workshop. You will need a ‘Zoom’ account and the ‘Zoom’ app installed to be able to join and ‘attend’ the meeting. If you have any questions (and don’t forget, this will be my first online workshop of this kind too) please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
I have deliberately kept the numbers limited to a small group to ensure we all have adequate time to talk, ask, share. Everyone will have their own time to voice their dreams, their fears, ask questions and hopefully leave feel inspired to start following their dream in some small, or big, way!
