Hello. I am still in the process of business planning and I have a couple of questions first payment. How do I charge so I will know exactly what my take home pay will be? say I charge 350 plus groceries or is it better to charge all inclusive. I was told by other PC boards that I should cahrge fee plus because I could take home $350 a day. My goal is at least $300 a day so I can eventually work 4days a weeks use one day for paperwork and make around $1200 a week. My goal once I can have four regular clients is to make at least 60,000 a year to live comfy and pay student loans off. I just do not understand how I can know how much I can pocket each day and how much I need to put back into my business for marketing and advertising. Also Im not yet a member but can I attend conventions and programs offered by your org. or do I have to wait until I have joined? Thank You
Hey Angela...I saw that you already posted this questin...& Chef Pierre did respond...it's right below this one. As far as conventions go, when you become a member you can go at a member's rate. To become a member, all you have to do is pick out a "training" package...one that I would suggest is the seminar. Attending the seminar includes 1 yrs membership fee, access to the forums & personal chef office, and much more.
Remember, terms like "take home pay" are used by "employees", not business owners. Yes, both are concerned with having enough money to pay personal expenses, but there is an entirely different "mind set" involved. Businesses run by "employee(s)" will, IMHO, fail quickly.
