Profit from Your Passion

This is a workshop on finding your Passion (I call it your JEWEL, and everyone has one) and creating income from it.

The workshop has two parts -- first part is creative, instructor-led exercises that help us discover what your unique contribution to the world should be. The second part is about the techniques to use to create one to three income streams that can support you.

Emphasis is on learning how to create income streams, not on creating a business plan.

This is highly-focused, highly targeted creative career coaching in workshop format. Bring your willingness to be open, learn about yourself, and launch your life's work.
