Women's 8 Week Creative
​Business Start Programme

Could you turn your love of art or craft into a successful business!?!
Have you ever wanted to explore how you could use your skill, drawing, art, or creative side to create a small business? Ever wondered if you could earn an income from something you’re passionate about? Perhaps you bake or paint, or maybe you’re good at crafting, gardening, or organising parties or events?
 
This 8 week programme will enable you to explore ideas around starting your own small business. It will include ‘thinking time’ to look at key areas such as defining your business idea, goal setting, marketing and more. You’ll receive support to progress your idea and begin to visualise success. It also includes "creative time" through journalling and artistic tasks, which will enable you to boost your confidence and creative thinking, and develop new skills.
 
This programme is for women who would like to begin the journey to becoming their own boss, working through an initial action plan in an encouraging and supportive environment.
"Many thanks again for your wonderful business course in the Women's Centre, Magherafelt.  I continue to journal everyday and find such a great comfort in knowing even on my days of doubt I can go back to my journal and see all of the strong and positive reasons why I want to go forward with this as a business. Once again, many thanks for your wonderful course."
