Running your business without a plan is like getting into a car and driving with no idea where you are going. You might get lucky and end up somewhere cool, but most likely the best case scenario is to end up somewhere mediocre, eating fast food, and crossing your fingers that you don't run out of gas on the way to the next town. You need a plan!⁠

Artists and creatives can really struggle with the mundane, business-based tasks, because they fail to recognize business as a creative endeavor. The planning strategies in this podcast are freeform creativity and brainstorming exercises, mixed with practical steps to help you plan for the year.

This episode is recorded workshop style so you can pause to complete the activities if you want.
