Business Strategy & Planning For Surface Pattern Designers

This class is about taking control of your surface pattern design business as the CEO and visionary that you are, or will be.
In this class you will learn:
How to create a long term strategy with a vision and mission
How to organize your business in functions in order to get an overview of all the things you actually do in your business and for creating a solid business plan for your next year
How to review your past year and the measurables you can use
How to create a 3-year business plan
How to plan your next year's objectives and tasks
How to plan your next year's big development projects
How to set a budget
You will also get a workbook to help you work through the steps. You'll find the workbook pdf under the section called Projects and Resources (accessible when logging in with desktop), on the right hand side.
This course is helpful for you who have never created a thorough business plan before, whether you are just now planning to start up a pattern design business, or have been doing this for a while already.
The steps in this class are founded in big corporate business strategies that I have here adapted to work for a one-person or small creative business like yours - and mine :-).
