Your Starter Calligraphy Business Plan

Forget the 40-page business plan. Here's what actually works when you're just starting out.

In this episode, I'm walking you through my Calligraphy Starter Business Plan: 3 categories, 9 questions, and zero room for overthinking yourself into paralysis.


1. 🖊️Your Product/Service

  • What to offer first (choose one for now!)

  • What related upgrades you could add for the same clients

  • The focused practice so you can deliver it well

2. 👰Your Clients & Pricing

  • How to get clear on your dream client

  • How to build a portfolio that speaks directly to them

  • Where to focus to land your first 3 clients (hint: start closer than you think)

  • A simple pricing exercise that gets you past the fear


3. 💰 Your Finances & Legal

  • The 3 financial steps to set up first

  • Sole prop, LLC, or S-corp — what decision you actually need to make right now

Traditional business plans didn't work for me. This did. It's scrappy, focused, and designed to get you moving with intention — not spinning in place.

ABOUT CROOKED CALLIGRAPHY

Hey - I'm Shinah! A former miserable corporate lawyer turned sassy calligrapher and teacher. Ten years ago, I was WISHING I could create beautiful calligraphy but feeling really un-creative and LOST about how to achieve that... and now I truly believe that ANYONE can learn this beautiful craft - because I've already taught it to THOUSANDS of people, from all different backgrounds.

Calligraphy has given me a gorgeous life. It's helped my students find PASSION, PURPOSE, and a reason to JUMP OUT OF BED each morning. What could it do for you? =)
