FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & PRICING INFORMATION
how does your pricing work?
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all pricing model because no two business have the same needs, but a generic project would be around $100 per hour of our time. After meeting with you and discussing your needs, we customize pricing based on a combination of factors such as:
The project scope & timeline
Level of expertise required
Your specific circumstances
The “fun” factor of the project
We are not a traditional consulting company in that earning an income is only a piece of the puzzle for us. We get a lot of life satisfaction both from having a positive impact on the world and enjoying our work, and our pricing and how we structure payments will reflect that. Our primary goal is to find ways we can be of service to businesses and entrepreneurs looking for assistance.
I do want assistance but i'm not sure about consulting or coaching. Is it a good fit?
We fully get the skepticism. It’s one reason we try to take a different approach with our business. All we can suggest is reaching out and having a free discussion with us and see how you feel after that. Worst case, you’ve wasted a bit of time.
what size projects do you take on?
We can work with you for a few hours on a specific issue, or we can meet with you regularly as a business coach for years (or anything in between). Our pricing can be set by project or by time depending on our specific role.
my business is shuttered from COVID-19. we could use guidance but have no money.
We totally get this, and this is part of why we exist right now. It makes no sense for you to spend money on non-necessities when you are on the verge of a disaster, even if they can provide real value. But we still want to help.
Depending on your business, we can work out trades or future payments if you come out of this healthy on the other side. One benefit of being a true small business is that we don’t have to follow any specific rules in how we price our services.
how many projects do you take on and will you have time for me?
Our projects vary over time, but we guarantee this: we won’t take on more than we can handle because we value having the freedom to enjoy life and never want to feel like work is a burden. If you’re a current client and don’t feel like you’re getting the attention you need, please talk to us.
how big is your company?
It’s a little confusing, because you’ll see many references to “we” and “us”, but then the Our Experience references just one consultant. So to clarify, this is a solo enterprise, but we have connections with a whole array of people we’ve worked with who can be helpful along the way. Think of us as hybrid between business coach and consulting company.
