KnoxBiz invites you to attend their upcoming networking event Turning Your Passion into Business Success.

Many people start with a passion—making, designing, baking, or styling products they love. However, turning that passion into a sustainable and scalable retail business requires a specific skill set. This event explores how to bridge the gap between creativity and commercial success through practical insights, real stories, and meaningful connections.

What to expect:

  • A panel of Finders Keepers Emporium stallholders discussing their journeys toward a successful business model, followed by a Q&A
  • A Q&A session with Paula and Adele, the owners and curators of Finders Keepers Emporium, on what it takes to make a brand retail-ready
  • Learn the essential first steps to transition your passion project into a registered, scalable business
  • A practical look at capital requirements and how to manage financial planning without losing your creative spark
  • Discover how to master professional packaging, storytelling, and marketing strategies that resonate with modern customers
  • A breakdown of the top three common mistakes new businesses make, and, more importantly, how you can avoid them to save time and resources.
