Business as a Creative Act - Class 3

Class 3: How to Listen to the Story Your Financials Are Telling You, and Track the Lifeblood of Your Business

Your financials aren’t just numbers; they’re your business talking back. In this class, Mariko shows you how to read that story clearly, track what actually keeps your work alive, and stop treating spreadsheets like the enemy of creativity. Made for a creative community that’s building businesses as living, evolving works of art.

Mariko Gordon, CFA, CFP® will be leading this free and open-to-the-public series that shows you how to integrate business into your creative practice in a way that is scaffolding, not encaging.

-You’ll get an introduction to developing financial intimacy with your creative practice.

-How to understand the story its numbers are telling you.

-How to monitor its vital signs.

-How to grow sustainably.

-How to weave your creative self into the fabric of your business.

-How to create the ecosystem that supports, rather than crushes, your creative practice.

If you’re someone:

-who’s afraid of ruining your creative practice with business

-who’s struggling with figuring how to make your creative practice profitable

-who wants to be more creative in the running of their business

Then this workshop series is for you.
