What's included in this course?
Start by getting to know Mònica and her professional background as a business mentor and founder of Empresas Creadoras, a business school for creatives. Get to know some of the people who have made an impact on her career, among them writers, economists, coaching experts, lecturers, and more.
Using the creative business models template Mònica has devised, learn why this way of conducting business is different to the rest and what you can do about it.
Rethink your relationship with money by making a list of your outgoings and their importance in your day-to-day operations. Then, analyze the information obtained and study yourself as a client before becoming a vendor.
Discover that numbers are your friends and not a constraint when it comes to creating. Look at how to plan your sales funnel and use the special business canvas for creators and creatives as a guide.
Learn to put a price on your work using basic accounting concepts, calculating personal spending, and that of your business.
Finally, Mònica guides you through the sea of decisions that a businessperson in the creative industry has to make every day, like how to accept or reject proposals, using a tool she created to help you in this process. Now it's your turn to apply all you've learned to your own business!

Using your business criteria, define your sources of income, their prices, and the sales arguments for your communication and marketing actions.
