When it comes to navigating your business and creative practice, there is one F-word so dreadful, so terribly un-funky, that it brings a chill to your very bones... and that word is... (let's hear it from the perfectionists in the back) FAILURE! 

However, we also know that failure is an inevitable part of any process that involves creativity, collaboration and risk. Learning to fail sounds absolutely terrifying, but it's exactly what you need when it comes to figuring out how to succeed! 

In this webinar, our hosts with the most will discuss failure honestly and openly, the challenges and pitfalls of negotiating defeat, and practical ways to make friends with failure and turn a negative experience into a positive outcome. 

What’s Included? 
A 60 minute webinar with our creative industries experts (which you can access later if you want), plus lifetime access to additional resources on our website containing more resources to support your learning.

What's Creative Plus Business? 
We're an educational organisation dedicated to educating creative people and arts organisations about entrepreneurial skills. We help by sharing practical knowledge in a fun and irreverent way, and everything we do is designed to help creatives to feel more confident and comfortable about the entrepreneurial aspects of their creative practice. We believe that a bit of naughtiness, tempered with a kind heart and a big dose of professionalism, is the key to helping creative people understand the boring basics of business.
