Creative Business Consulting

Creative Business Consulting with Ming-Zhu Hii

You’re a creative entrepreneur and a real artist.

This doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an artist in the “fine” or traditional sense, formally trained or even have crap-loads of runs on the board.

It means you take yourself and your work seriously – you want your creative business to thrive.

You are rigorous and committed, but you’re not precious.

You are driven and ambitious: you’re ready to take full responsibility for your own success.

You want to serve. You know your Why. You’re passionate about the work. Whatever it is.

I want to work with you.

My formal “fine” arts background is as a professionally trained actor, and self-taught theatre auteur. But I come from a ridiculously successful small business family, I’ve freelanced non-stop since I could step up onto a stage, and I’ve been working as an entrepreneur and a creative business coach and consultant for over five years. I’ve got a Cert IV in Small Business Management, a BA in Dramatic Art, and a fully qualified belief that art can and should change the world.

I have a passion for getting to the heart of creative business strategy, branding and finance – and working with other creators who have massive vision for their businesses and a passionately dedicated work-ethic to match.

I believe that in order to consistently do great work – to develop deep integrity in your creative practice, then you need to do far more than keep the wolf from the door – you need to need to set up a hundred-mile-wolf-free-radius, and thrive the crap out of your creative enterprise.

In addition – I know that artists who are also highly functioning businesses have more fun. That’s not a belief, it’s a fact.

So, what I want to do is tailor a customised consulting solution specifically for you and your work.

Just to give you an idea of how I can help you – when we work together we can cover any of the following aspects, processes and functions of your creative business:

  • Specific project-management & producing
  • Self-management, marketing, branding & PR (aka: “fame creation”)
  • Goal setting & strategic planning for growth & expansion
  • Efficiency & organisation
  • Workflows & systems
  • Cashflow, financial planning, pricing and market positioning
  • Confidence, presentation & networking skills
  • Building partnerships & sourcing support
  • Big change, movement & momentum
