Great ways to get your business humming and more
Hello shiny people
May has been slightly glorious and while Aussies prepare for Winter next week, I thought I’d use this unseasonably warm weather to spring up and say hi!
There are some pretty cool things happening at and around Unashamedly Creative, so I thought I’d use it as an excuse to pop by, start (or restart) our conversations and see what you have been up to.
Ready?
Great, let’s do this thing!

AND if you are under 30, worried about your future due to changes to uni, TAFE or support, I am offering FREE help you get freelancing or into solo entrepreneurship. Forget waiting 6 months for assistance and let’s get you in charge of your own destiny. Look for the ‘Unemployed? Become a Future Entrepreneur’ heading for details.
All details for the promotions and the course for under 30’s are available via the Budget Smuggling Landing Page. Get into it now!
