As a serial entrepreneur, EMD's founder Christine Ortiz has spent her entire career trying to figure out how to start and run her business is in a way that both does good, and feels good while also allowing her to live a full life. Traditional entrepreneurship and small business best practices or conventional wisdom either just doesn't work or feels misaligned with liberatory and justice based values.
How to start a business without betraying yourself
This workshop will share key insights and lessons learned over the course of almost 30 years as an entrepreneur across 4 different industries about how to think about these tensions - and where they're actually just a mirage.
We'll explore some common topics like
- Is entrepreneurship right for me?
- Getting started
- Legal Stuff
- Pricing & Marketing
- Managing Time
- Measuring Success
For justice minded folks, it can often feel like the only way requires personal sacrifice - either you do work you're proud of, or you make decent money, but not both. And either way, it's often at the cost of your wellbeing. There is a different way.
Registration to the workshop gets you into the live session and access to a recording that will be available for 30 days.
