Making a Living Engaging in your creative business encompasses various aspects. We have identified several facets that help in developing a more robust business. The process is structured linearly, beginning with first considerations and continuing through subsequent stages. However, it’s important to note that the process is iterative—each step and worksheet can influence and inform the others as you move forward. While we suggest following this order, you are welcome to start at any point that feels most relevant to your current situation. If you're new to this, beginning with the first stage and following the sequence step-by-step is a solid approach. On the other hand, if you are already further along, you may want to explore and focus on the steps that provide the most immediate benefit. Feel free to mix and match, moving back and forth as needed—each stage brings value to your business development.
