Jozara Training with co-founder Sam Dunstan

After training for years in a creative profession, it can be tough to know that you are doing the right things with your finances, sales and administration. It can be difficult to feel in control of everything that happens “beyond the stage”: finances, admin, tax, budgets, the best ways to approach funding, talking about yourself, framing your offering… and the list goes on. This series of personal development seminars, brought to you by Jozara and Cast, are designed to help you better manage your administration, finance and mental health so you can focus on being a successful artist.
