“Thank you so much for joining me throughout this course as we explored the amazing opportunity of starting your own small business as an artist! Now it’s time for you to embark on your own creative journey. Creating and running a small business doesn’t have to be scary. In order to do your course project, you'll first need to analyze your creative process and determine what products/services that inspire you and also have the potential of selling well in your niche.

Create a business plan that outlines the essential aspects of starting and running your business. This should include who will be running the business, what you will sell, a marketing strategy, where you will work, start up costs, as well as the regular cost of running the business, and legal considerations.
