Once you’ve been a self-employed Gardener for a couple of years or more, it’s easy to get swept up in the seasons, and to lose sight of your initial goals.
This online Workshop aims to help you take a fresh look at your business, to deal with any problems or issues that might have arisen, and to encourage you to look beyond your current situation.
With a style that has been variously described as “chatty and informal” and “appropriately bossy”, Rachel will take you through the commonest problems and pitfalls: wasting time; un-necessary paperwork; increasing your income; targets and how to use them; dissatisfaction with your Clients and how to deal with them.
After a short break, Rachel covers specialising; how to increase and stabilise your hourly rate, and why you should do so; how to deal with late payers and low payers; when and how to ‘sack’ unsatisfactory Clients, and how to replace them with better ones; then some pointers on Expanding and Looking Forwards; with questions being asked all along the way.
All delegates can submit questions by email beforehand: and all delegates will receive a pdf version of the presentation, with some additional handouts. There will be time for questions and discussion at the end of the Zoom session.
Timings:
Start: 9:30am via Zoom (with breaks)
End: 12.30pm approx.

NB: I'm only at my desk first thing every morning - usually 6.15-6.45am - and again briefly after work, so don't expect an instant answer... unless it's raining!Or, if you are still at the "thinking about a change of career, always wanted to be a gardener but not quite sure if I can do it..." stage, then check my book, available from Amazon Kindle:
It's less than a tenner, and if you have Kindle Unlimited, it's FREE!!
Don't worry if you don't have a Kindle, you can download it to your PC, to your laptop, to your tablet, or to any other kindle-style device.
Do it now! And take the first step into a better life..... *laughs*
