I’m pleased to announce the launch of a major new Lateral Action course: The Creative Pathfinder – Your Guide to Success as a Creative Professional.
And this one is completely free. 
It’s designed to equip you with the creative and professional skills you need to succeed in your chosen career path – whether you’re an employee, freelancer or creative entrepreneur.
The course is a distillation of what I’ve learned from 14 years of coaching professional artists, creatives and other creative people, plus my own experience of earning a living as a creative freelancer and entrepreneur. So it’s based on tried-and-tested solutions to the unique challenges you face when you set out on a creative career.
It offers you a ‘foundation course’ in the essential knowledge and skills you need to thrive in the creative economy. So as well as lessons on creativity that are specially tailored to your needs as a creative pro, it covers things like productivity, career paths, marketing, sales, collaboration, managing money and intellectual property.
That’s a lot of ground to cover, and I don’t like to do things by halves – so you’re looking at 20-25 weekly lessons, delivered over a period of 6 months. As well as actionable advice and concrete examples, the lessons include practical worksheets and links to additional resources.
Enrolment is now open – there’s no fee for the course, so you can have access to the entire 6-month program for free. More details on the Creative Pathfinder page.
Enjoy!

Excellent! This is the course I’ve been waiting for since I saw Lateral Action launch and read the ebook on Time Management for Creative People.
Thanks Hashim, glad I got there eventually.
You are such a giver! Thanks for helping the world of creative folk
Thanks Mark! I’m looking forward to it.
What an amazing resource! Thank you so much for your generosity. I can’t wait to begin.
Thank you all, very glad to have you on board!
Congrats Mark! I’m very excited. I’m loving the Entrepreneur Roadmap program and know that this is going to rock too!
Thanks Ian, great you could join us and hope you’ll find the two courses dovetail well together.
I signed up for the course and just going through the modules alone, I can’t wait to get started!
Thanks Mark, you’re the man!
My pleasure Tito, great to have you on the course.
Just finished reading the second lesson, Mark (and now have a row of tabs lined up for further reading, thanks to your generous assortment of links), and wanted to give you kudos, express my thanks, etc. This is great stuff. You have an excellent knack for boiling down the trends and memes swirling in the career-cultural air around us, and presenting spot-on analyses coupled with specific action advice. Obviously, this quality has already been on display here at Lateral Action for some time, but equally obviously, the new course is the product of a massive amount of work, and I can already tell it’s going to deliver some valuable goods. Amazing that you’re offering it for free. Thank you!
Thanks Matt, I really appreciate the detailed feedback. Very encouraging!
