13. Planning.
There is nothing wrong
with star+ng small, as
long as you have a clear
idea of what you want
to achieve.
MB
If you have a great idea that you
really want to do but aren’t sure
where to start, don’t be afraid to
ask for help.

The devil is in the detail
~ The angels are in the

Know your audience
and needs

Know who to go to for help

Make sure you read
everything about the
funding you are applying
for so you don’t miss
anything on the
applica+on.
MB
Be absolutely clear about
what you are aiming to
achieve and what the money
is for. If you aren’t sure, you
won’t get the funding.

Make sure you use
everything at your

one marke+ng method

Word of mouth
spreads fast. Talk to
people at every
opportunity.
