Took Action. Now I'm about to Choke on my tongue...
That is until today. I got a bite in a most unexpected way, and now I'm about to freak out.
I spoke with an older gentlemen who runs photography club for seniors, who was interested in the service, but was more interested in something else contained in my gord.
The photo club has about 80-120 members. It turns out they've been salivating to get someone in there to give a class on Photoshop Elements. And, as a recovering graphic designer, who do you think has a boatload of knowledge of the entire Adobe Suite; including Elements and lightroom??? That's right; This guy!
So, long story made short, I'm meeting with him on Monday to hammer out the details of an all day class.
You guys have to understand something; for most of my adult life I've had an action-phobia. I have a history of falling flat on my face with one failed business after another. Until this week, I had gotten to the point where I would get a great idea, but when leap-time would come, the pressure would literally squeeze me into paralisys.
Except this time.
I can teach this class, upside down, sideways in and out. I know so much about Photoshop Elements, Workflows, and handy tutorials that I would have to trim it down to keep the class from being overloaded.
But I have one question. One question only. I've never been a public speaker. I've never done any type of paid speaking engagement, and I have a history of undervaluing what I have to sell... soooooooooooo how much do I charge?
It's more than likely that the organization is going to fit the tab, and I just don't even know where to start. I took action, and now I have a sales meeting on Wednesday to sell a hitherto non-existent class, and now I'm about to freak out... It's going to be a long weekend hammering this out...
Any simple pricing advice would be most appreciated.
OK... I'm going to sleep now, and try to figure out exactly how I got here.
