Your questions, my answers.

Achieve success by strengthening your creative business foundation

**Update 11/20/19: I’m experimenting with doing Ask Kiff via Instagram Stories! You can see all the questions I’ve answered so far here.

You can view past episodes via Facebook, YouTube, iTunes, and the blog.

Like it or not, having a strong legal foundation helps you build a thriving, sustainable creative business.

But rather than blindly following an expert’s formula or chasing the next flash-in-the-pan trend, you should be finding your own path.

To help you find your own path and confidently take the next step in strengthening your business foundation, we share our experiences and knowledge.

And one of the ways we do this is with our weekly Ask Kiff series. Where Kiffanie answers one question submitted by creative business owners just like you.
