Finance Training Session: Your Money & Your Life with Alison Grade

Training Session: YOUR MONEY AND YOUR LIFE
Monday 9 December,  2 – 5 p.m. online via Zoom, Delivered by Alison Grade, £10

To be a successful freelancer or micro-business, you have to take ownership of your finances and know what you need to earn to survive.

The good news is – it’s not that difficult to do.

What do you need? And how much are you worth?

In this workshop, Alison Grade will help you determine the market value of your work, take you through the steps to creating your Individual Living Budget, and show you how to use this to decide how much work you need to do across a year to pay the bills.

The workshop will cover:

• What is my value in the marketplace?
• How much do I need to earn to live the life I want to lead?
• What do I need to charge my clients/customers to achieve this?
• How much work do I need to do in any year?

This session will give you a clear pathway to making your practice both viable and fulfilling.
