Thinking Like a Business

​Company banking? Tax filing? Business insurance? What does it all mean?!

​While it may not be the most glamourous aspect of being your own boss, independent writers will eventually need to start thinking like a business as they grow.

​In this highly practical workshop, Patrick McKenzie (aka Patio11) will demystify some of the technical components writers need to think about as they transition to going paid on Substack. From understanding the differences between an LLC and an SCorp to knowing what to do if you get sued, writers will leave with a better grasp of the complicated aspects of starting a business.

​
