 Claire and Coe Music came about because I'm a singer, songwriter and performer and I do a lot of events on the weekends, at weddings, wineries, council events, that sort of thing and three days a week I teach vocal lessons. The bushfires had a pretty big impact on my music business and then COVID came along and I lost nearly 18 months of events and weddings and gigs and everything fun to do with live music and it made me feel very defeated. I was really excited when I saw the Business Recovery Advisory Service online I was really looking for new opportunities, how to grow and move forward We were able to pull in all those creative ideas that gave good structure and good foundation to what she actually wanted to do in her business We worked together online through Zoom sessions over about six months The greatest takeaway from working with my advisor has been learning so much more about marketing and strategies I'm really excited that that service is there any time that I need it I'm feeling really optimistic about my business now Tonight I'm watching my second original album at Squires Winery It's really about that one-on-one connections, building those relationships and providing clarity through planning to build resilient businesses It's been an incredible experience I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to gain more insight into these amazing things that come along with running a business
