Scaling Your Creative Dream

There comes a point in many artist’s or maker’s journey where they ask: "Can I keep doing this all by myself?”  or “How do I grow my business from here?"

If you’ve been dreaming of a studio outside the garage, opening a brick-and-mortar shop, or hiring your first set of hands, you won’t want to miss this talk. We’re sitting down with Kathleen Laprise (a SCORE mentor, creative and former store owner) to discuss the big questions you should ask yourself before you scale to the next level. It’s a supportive, "no-pressure" look at what it takes to move from a solo-operation to a growing brand.

Currently Kathie is a certified SCORE Mentor. She has had more than 30 years experience in retail, owning her own store for 11 years. She had also shown her Needle Art at various art/craft shows in the Chicago area in the past.
