This book is for everyone out there that has a head full of ideas and the notion that earning a living from their own creative endeavour would be the best thing ever.”

“The book is designed to help you reflect on your creativity and to inspire and energise you to get your business heading in the right direction. It’s about testing your ideas and products, defining your niche and marketplace, and about telling the story of your work in a way that engages and enthuses people – and encourages them to buy from you. It’s the immutable truths, if you like, of creative self-employment.

Quotes & Testimonials

'This is a truly inspirational book and a must for any fledgling creative business, or anyone working for themselves within the creative world. I bought the downloadable version of this book and read it in one go and then read it again. It is a really good read, it is completely jargon free and it just flows. I was engrossed from beginning to end. Pete Mosley really knows his stuff. I have been working for myself as a Ceramist for five years and it has helped me to review my business, in particular my marketing, in a whole new way. If you work for yourself within the creative arts, you will not regret buying this book.'

"So often, business books drift into an ever thickening back cover. Not this one; it remains fresh and compelling throughout. Pete pulls many tantalising and important business elements together into one place and demystifies them. The book is equally useful when read cover to cover, or as a working document to be dipped into when the need arises.
I enjoyed it, I and took a great deal from it, and I highly recommend it.”
