It takes a lot to be a successful artist, creative or solo business owner in Lincoln County. Keeping up with the latest marketing trends and technologies is part of it, but so are key fundamentals, like knowing how to fairly price your work - finding prices fair to you, and appropriate for the market at large. Jackie B. Peterson is a longtime business advisor in Portland and is the author of Better, Smarter, Richer, a business curriculum created specifically for solo-preneurs. This term, the OCCC SBDC has launched a special Small Business Management Program attended by some of the most talented artists and crafters on the Oregon Coast, and the program leans heavily on Jackies work. Next week, Jackie Peterson will visit the class here in Lincoln County, then will present a free workshop open to the public that evening.

Wed., Nov. 12 6pm OCCC Lincoln City Jackie Peterson Author of Better, Smarter, Richer THERE OUGHTA BE A LAW ...CLASS If youre like most Lincoln County business owners, you dont have your own attorney on retainer. You dont have a lawyer to whom you can direct specific questions about, for example, whether your independent contractor is really an independent contractor, or whether you should transfer your sole proprietorship to an S-Corp. or LLC. Well, now you DO have that lawyer. Richard Huntpalmer, a Newport attorney, will be back in early December, teaching his popular Fundamentals of Business Law class. Anyone who pre-registers for this class - coming to the Newport AND Lincoln City campuses - can send Mr. Huntpalmer questions in advance, or pose them during the class. To register, call 541-994-4166, or visit oregoncoastbusiness. SBDC IN THE NEWS: SBDC on TV We wanted to make sure you saw this video {click here}, featuring an interview with Rep. David Gomberg. Rep.
