The Business of Being an eLearning Consultant with Kevin Thorn


Listen Later

Most new small businesses fail.  You've heard that, right?  It seems even more common within our industry.  But don't let it scare you. Some succeed where most fail.  

One of our industry success stories is Kevin Thorn.  He's joined us for several Drink'n'Draw episodes over the years.  But in this episode, The Chief Nuggethead of Nuggethead Studioz wants to help YOU start your eLearning consulting business.

He'll be sketchnoting some of the pitfalls of starting your own business and point out some simple budgeting ideas that will save you from learning lessons the hard way.

Did you forget to budget for your software?  And hardware isn't cheap. Your technology will also fail you at times.  Have you budgeted for support, anti-virus, VPN, off-site backups?

Kevin has made all the mistakes for you.  And he's willing to share his success stories and secrets with us on this episode.
