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.
This workshop is for you if:
--> you're looking for some stability and control, and it no longer feels like traditional employment can provide that for you
--> you are rethinking what a good life looks like, and you know what you're doing for work right now isn't it, but you aren't sure what else is possible
--> you've been thinking or even dreaming of doing your own thing, but don't even know where to start
--> you've been in startup or entrepreneurship spaces - reading books and blogs, listening to podcasts, maybe taking some classes - but something just doesn't sit right about what they're telling you to do
--> part of why you want to go out on your own is to work less, not more, and you're afraid that isn't possible on your own
--> you want to do work that is focused on equity, justice and liberation and aren't sure how to do that and also pay your rent
--> you know there must be a better way to do things, but you don't always know what that is or where to find support
There are no silver bullets, no hacks, no easy buttons, no one-and-done solutions . . . but most of the mainstream entrepreneurship best practice and conventional wisdom DID NOT work for us. It took us a lot of time, money and energy to test things out, find aligned experts and build a way of doing business that felt like it was truly values aligned. We want to keep sharing that with you!
This 90 minute workshop is based on Christine's almost 30 years of entrepreneurship experience spanning 4 different industries, working to create a just business.
Registration to the workshop gets you into the live session and access to a recording that will be available for 30 days.
