Every year begins with such determination. Lists of ambitions are compiled – things you really will start, or finish, by December 31st. But before you know it, the hazy days of summer have arrived and your good intentions to achieve this year’s resolutions are but a distant memory.
Don’t let 2015 be yet another year of only nearly doing something great. Guardian Masterclasses are on hand to help you achieve what you set out to do. Whether it’s launching your very own food start-up or getting your novel out of your head and into print, we have a class that can help make it happen.
