I agree, many other biz owners REALLY struggle with content however and writing so I understand. I personally like using it to flesh out ideas and then like to write anyway. Some people probably don’t notice at all. Whats your biz?

@@picklepreneurs I don’t have a business, I used the word as, “if a company wants me as a customer.” Also if a person struggles with content they can either learn, of pay someone to do that. And I would have infinitely more respect for them than just using generative ai. I guess using it as a starting point isn’t the worst route but still I am fundamentally against the use of generative ai, especially on copyrighted works, which companies like open ai are aging they should have access to without paying or they won’t be able to make money. Well, I say they shouldn’t be able to make money. Generative ai shouldn’t exist. I understand the struggle of now knowing where to start. That’s the hardest part of the writing process for me. Just practice and write fan fiction. Get practice. You’re writing will get better. And you won’t need ai.

@@kento1957 I agree to an extent let me clarify because it’s based on what I observe. If someone is charging $20 or $35 per hour 1-1 (private) which I have seen and the person says “I have two friends can they come along during the session ” and the coach says yes, that’s what I’m saying not to do. If the coach charges $20 per person and they have four people they make $80 if they don’t split the costs. Now if they do a group of 8 that is $160 - this for some would be fair to pay for a 1-1 private - some would not pay this but others would. But if the coach does a group of 16 yes most likely the price would be too much for many. And this is to your point, it’s up to the coach to decide how much to charge for a private lesson vs group of at all. But, I have clients who are charging $50 per person when the group size is 8, 12, 16 and the students come back they are happy and the coach is able to build a sustainable business. In the example of the $20 or $35 person (1-1 and splitting costs) that is prob not sustainable and they will get burned out trying to grow their biz. The other point I want to make here is, does the outcome change for one person vs 8 people as ex example? No. Which is why you dont split costs, it’s more of a person preference. If someone really wants a 1-1 then fine but that comes at a cost and that’s based on the demands of the coach, how much they value their time based on their demand etc. Fine for someone tho who just wants a bit of extra money. “You have to offer a discount for group rates” that’s not true. You can. Ultimately that’s a business decision.

@@picklepreneurs "“You have to offer a discount for group rates” that’s not true. You can. Ultimately that’s a business decision." - You CAN do anything, but it would be a bad business decision because you'll never get a group coaching session because clients would never pay to be part of a group when they can a personal private session for the same price.

Let me know how you get on :-)

@@Om-gg5tk show your face as much as possible with the products and start selling only what you would absolutely buy yourself. It makes marketing it a lot easier.

@@picklepreneurs thanks for your response! I am not very comfortable on camera plus my native language is not English. I do speak English well but with a heavy accent. In this case, what are my options?

@@Om-gg5tk nobody is comfortable when they start. The accent isn't an issue. But if you choose not to, then you could make it unique by developing characters and a story - people also want to know WHY you started it, besides making money. I would need to see the products honestly to get an idea.

@@Om-gg5tk also stuff that is funny sells well if you can make people laugh, you could use memes and other funny videos and attach the product to the video.

@@leejorgensen7606 how do you define a sport? Lol

It's a deformed cucumber that goes through the pickling process and comes out in a ball shape instead of an oval. You then use a paddle and hit the ball made from the pickle back and forth. The loser has to eat the ball after.

Great model! Definitely drop into the super community and we should chat about this.

And I just realized this is my business profile for KZbin. This is Christianne, your “stalker”, from the other day 😂

Got it! I will definitely take you up on that. I can use all the help I can get. I’m still gathering lots of questions so once I have a good chunk I’ll schedule it. I’ve learned a lot from you already. Thank you 🙏 Also, my membership for Picklepreneurs Success Games is still pending.

Oh I love these especially the wall that’s great one! That could be fun. Where do you train now?

@@picklepreneurs Drilling is done at my local outdoor court (which is cold now), never at a club. I haven’t seen any club do those sessions reguarly. There may be one very rarely, but it’s usually during the day during the work week.

I’m addicted I have to say I played a bit of badminton but never really tennis so pickleball has really grabbed me!

Oh this is awesome Dave. You are also my first comment I just started this channel a few days ago! Excited for your journey! Whooo! When did you start pickleball and what prompted you to certify? Also let me know any topics you want covered on the channel!

I started about 2 1/2 years ago. I was an adjunct professor for a handful of years and I’m really passionate about seeing other people do well and succeed. I’m super customer focused and love providing great experiences. As my skill level increased, I’ve noticed others asking for my opinion. I have run a few small training sessions, but nothing too big. I decided to really dive into coaching for 2014 and make this more of a focus.

@@pickleballinwithdaveI love that you have a focus on giving people a good experience that means so much to people and will create a great foundation for success! Excited to see how you progress this year, keep me updated!

I think for topics, off the top of my head, I would saying pricing strategy just starting out and when to increase those fees, what coaching equipment is needed to start, managing business expenses and revenue (accounting and finance side of this), going llc or just going sole proprietorship, how taxes work from this, tips for building repeat business, other ways coaches can generate revenue. Hope that helps.

@@pickleballinwithdavegreat suggestions thanks I’ll add these to my list :-)
