My idea for Artist Hue is to "Connect Creative People Together." I want to do this through my art blog, art courses and online store first, then expand Artist Hue as a platform that will launch a podcast to interview artists and learn from their stories.

“After taking our previous business from zero to a multi-million exit, we now help business owners and managers, to grow and scale their businesses” Jamie Christoforou FCIM, CEO of Zero to Exit Ltd
We have taken a real business from zero, through to a multi-million exit. We mentor and train from real life experience. You can read our story below.
Back in November 2001, Jamie Christoforou arrived in Plymouth on a National Express coach, with two bags and £50 in his pocket. He didn’t have a job or any form of income and barely had enough to cover one week’s rent for a bedsit near the train station. He just hoped that the landlord who said he would meet him there, actually turned up, otherwise he would have been sleeping on the streets. Some would say he was the definition of a lost cause. But that didn’t stop him. In 2002, with no business qualifications or degrees, Jamie and Kevin, decided to start their own business. With no money and no idea what they were doing, it’s safe to say that their friends and family weren’t exactly optimistic about it. In fact, Kevin’s parents whose house they were planning on running the business from, said they couldn’t do it from their house. But they were adamant about proving everyone that doubted them wrong. 19 years later at the age of 37 and 45, Jamie &amp; Kevin officially retired!  After pulling off a multi-million business exit, retiring themselves and their family, and accumulating a wealth of knowledge about starting, scaling, and selling businesses, they made it their mission to help businesses and start-ups like you, formulate strategies for consistent growth.
Jamie mentors business owners and managers using the Zero to Exit 4-Step Formula. Jamie works with a select few businesses at any one time. If you are an ambitious business owner, and you are open, willing and have the ability to invest time, money and energy into a solution to take your business from where you are currently, to where you want to be, please visit <a href=&apos;https://calendly.com/zte-jc/discovery-call&apos; target=&apos;_self&apos;>Jamie&apos;s calendar here</a> to book your free Zero to Exit discovery call.
Zero to Exit Ltd also runs online training courses at various times during the year. These are both live in small group via Zoom, as well as recorded on-demand, to learn at your own pace (coming later this year).
