Passion. Purpose. Profit.

It’s one thing to have a business idea, or even to start a creative business. It’s quite another to scale it sustainably without increasing your financial and emotional stress. For most small business owners, what starts as something energising quickly turns into something overwhelming and energy depleting. You spend so much time in your business, it’s hard to find any time to work on your business.

In this practical guide, experienced business coach and creative consultant Fiona Killackey shows you how to scale the business without scaling the stress. From validating your business idea (whatever stage in its development), mapping out your money and specifying your business goals, through to hiring staff and defining your marketing plan, Passion Purpose Profit gives you a clear understanding of where you’re going and exactly how you’ll get there. Complete with step-by-step tips and templates, as well as case studies of successful creative business owners, Passion Purpose Profit will have you empowered and excited about business again.

Ok, so disclaimer... We are in this book and the brilliant mind behind it, Fiona Killackey, is a friend. But, that just makes any recommendation to buy it and savour every word, all the more sincere. And sincere we are when we say, gee whiz where was this book when we started Sage x Clare?!

We've read many a biz book and have found they sit somewhere between intimidating and overwhelming or so light and fluffy that we're left none the wiser. This one is different... It's heartfelt, it's practical, it's got substance, it's real life, it's achievable, it's attainable, it's resourceful. It's the perfect book for anyone considering taking the leap into their own biz or for anyone that's already done it - even the most seasoned of biz owner.

Even with years under our belt, this is a welcome resource that we'll return to over and over. Our only regret? That it wasn't written sooner...
