Amd I'm talking raining for errands running like groceries/store runs, when clients may give you cards to buy purchases

@@yoccm15 thats a mindset shift. I dont "worry" about my people "stealing" - instead I hire people whom I put through a hiring process. Then I TRUST that they are good people - VS believing they're not. You'll never get beyond "yourself" without developing trust in other humans. So it's part a logical hiring process - BUT first, it's 100% a mindset shift.

I think I plan to charge around 40 or 50 an hr? But should I charge more, I live in baltimore city

have you done the math? No - 16K months was not feasible by JUST me. Can you do 8K a month? Work the math backwards. How many hours a week are you going to work to make that? Then the harder part is not whether or not you can "make 8K" - But will you do the work needed to create 8K months? ( the marketing to get clients ).

When I first started out: I collected "on site" that day. Once my confidence was built up : I required half up front then half at job. If selling packages: always up front.

@TheKellySchaefer thank you Kelly, I have a question about grocery shopping errands as well? Do you want me to post it or am I able to contact you directly?

@TheKellySchaefer thank you. I have another question about grocery errands may I contact you directly?

Oh yay!!! Whats a GOAL card you're writing for yourself??

There are organizations and places you can take classes. But for many who offer this as a service - it often "comes natural" which is what drives people to start a business in that arena. There's also many varying degrees of organizing. Cool thing - you can just offer things that feel aligned to you - or you're naturally "good at".

this is training inside my coaching programs - it requires more thoughtful consideration. at a high level - just come up with 2 offers: X number of hours for X amt of dollars.

HI Travis! We are in the process of updating our Book Bundle pages and are working out some kinks. I see your email in the support inbox. My assistant will manually add you in today. Stay tuned!

depending on your demographics, area you live in - it could be a "pricing" issues. If your pricing is in line- but you are new to the industry - it could be a - you haven't proven the "value" yet to your market. If the pricing is right - it's a marketing issue ( not enough "right fit" people know about you )

so welcome!

Its an amazing way to help seniors outside the "confines" of traditional home-care/healthcare

its always something to consider. In the industry many people have "10 miles included" in their pricing. Over time - I got rid of that practice unless it was significant mileage. reason = lots of additional tracking, billing + admin work

YAY you Paul!!! Who do you plan on helping with your services?? Your niche/ideal client?? Oh - and if you want to enroll for 2025 - we're open for enrollment Dec 5th - 13th - You can hop on the waitlist if you like : yourconciergeacademy.com/fully-booked-waitlist2

AWWW - Thanks for being here!!

you're so welcome

I think in the world of "gurus" we've waaaay over-complicated things - BE Human 😆

AWESOME!! If you're confident about doing memberships - go for it - But for most people it's a little harder. BUT - you CAN start as simply as "consolidate" the days you run errands and simply just offer THOSE days. For ex: For me _ I only offered Tues /Weds and Thurs

hahaha!! Thats awesome!!! And so smart

Oh for sure!!!! I'll be doing a behind the scenes for FBBC folks on how to logistically do this

it helps to start right for the beginning and then flex and flow as you grow

using what feels most natural to us - is key

you're so welcome!!

These are deeper questions that we discuss inside the Fully Booked Business Club : There's a 7 part pricing course that covers all of this

HA! Wish my kids felt that way 🤣

I talk about this and how to talk to and find a broker in this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4ibeqlnhtKEhZIsi=lWMNkmU9zVHMJmBG

you get to make that decision - whatever feels easier for you. But I will tell you that intentionally seeking out opportunities to work with 2 different demographics like that - can be tiring - This video explains why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOnlZigq8Smoposi=Og0UJ3imDeMg0T-H

Im based in US. There are many people from Canada in my community and coaching groups. In Canada is is slightly different because depending on how much you make, there are taxes you have to charge.

Because it's a personal and unique answer for each person based on where they live, market awareness, and how/what you want to charge and your primary business model. But I can say on average - $40 - $50/hr. ( That being said - My methodology is not to charge by the hour - but rather in packages and memberships ( for a variety of reasons ). I have several other "pricing" videos you can use. The people i interviewed have VERY different pricing, so it can become confusing for people just starting out.

Awesome Gail!! Honestly, the only way to get better at it - is to just keep doing it - and start when you're uncomfortable.

Align yourself with people who do/host/put on events!! Start locally with people and organizations. You could even consider offering to help at a local annual non profit event/conference. Bonus points if it's an event with a mission that you feel passionate about. Celebrating your ideas with you @ggardner2929

@@TheKellySchaefer Thank you!!😊 My name is Gail…I should have started with that!! 🤣 I really love all your knowledge on serving and helping people!! This is my passion!! Thank you again!!

you're so welcome!! I'm glad the videos are you helping you find what feels right for you!

YESSSS queen!! We can talk about this in more detail today also !

100%% The sooner you begin - the faster you'll get clients. Plus inside FB we have a live workshop focused on "holiday marketing" and some strategies that work really well for getting clients during holiday season

@@TheKellySchaefer Thank you so much! I will get signed up today.

This is a fabulous dream! As a "free voluntary service" - there will be some questions you'll want to consider. Who and how people will qualify and how you'll stay operational as a volunteer entity. Concierge VS homecare model - that part is easy.

You're so welcome!

So glad Lola!!!
