Frequently asked questions
How long to sign first clients?
1-4 months for the first 3, if you actively prospect your personal and professional network. Many take 6-12 months because they wait. Waiting doesn't work.
When to raise rates?
Three signals: declining over 30% of prospects, calendar full 3 weeks out, clients calling your price 'reasonable'. If 2/3 true, it's time.
Do I need a contract from the first client?
Yes. 2-3 pages, signed before the first session. A contract prevents 80% of potential disputes.
