Читать книгу Start & Run an Art Teaching Business - Tanya Freedman - Страница 11

Sometimes eager entrepreneurs may skip seemingly unimportant steps in the planning, marketing, and strategizing stages at the start. Mistakes are inevitable, but if we are equipped with the right knowledge, and we prioritize and remind ourselves to be patient, we are halfway down the road to success.

You may find that reading this book will prepare you for or confirm your ideas about your impending venture. I cannot overstate the importance of doing the preliminary homework and, if necessary, delaying your dream by a few months or even a year or two. Always keep your long-term success in focus. You are building a stronger foothold for your business to flourish and last. Adopt the sure and methodical approach of the tortoise over that of the erratic and risky hare. The latter may bring fast apparent success, but quickly leads to burnout.

No one but you can do the work of researching into what is right for you — not even your spouse or partner, unless you plan to work together. You know yourself better than anyone else, and I hope this book can help you gain more insight into starting and running a successful art teaching business, whether you plan to do it alone or with the support of others.
