Heather Bishop’s career as an internationally renowned cultural worker for over 4 decades, from a small hamlet in rural Manitoba (no big city address needed), is due in large part to her many skills as a small business owner. Studying at the knee of her mistakes, Heather has become a small business guru to scores of students and mentees she has guided with her expertise and support. This workshop will discuss developing effective business skills including envisioning and developing a career strategy, developing a business plan, marketing and promoting your work, bookkeeping and budgeting tips. When we combine our formidable creative drive with solid business skills, our goals can become reality.
