A couple of years ago I wrote a starting a service business guideIt was only short, about 30 pages. But filled with real actionable in the trenches content.(Scroll down to see the chapters of the new book)Mods, I am just letting you know I am more after feedback. This is a long way from being done and I'm interested in opinions of what people may want to see in a guide like this.My ExperienceAround 3 months after that, I won "Young Trade Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023".I've recently just sold my landscaping business, and decided I want to write the most comprehensive, no nonsense guide there is. I have so much knowledge I want to share, and a lot of it I had to learn myself, you could not find the information anywhere.Granted, now with AI, you probably could, but I still think it wane's in comparison to first hand experience.ThoughtsIf any of you are in the trades, or a service business(hairdresser, car detailer, cleaner etc.), you may have noticed your Facebook being flooded with these "Tradie Guru Courses". I can tell you right now they are filled with a LOT of fluff.All these topics I came up with myself (not rocket science but for transparency I want to let everyone know I won't be writing any of this with AI, I have tried in the past and it doesn't come close to the intimate knowledge I've got related to this stuff)I'm going to share the structure of the book here, but I wanted your guys opinions on how YOU (if you had a copy) would prefer to digest it.Would you prefer one big guide / book? would you prefer smaller, more easily digestible parts of the book having their own smaller book?Also, please comment if when it's finished, you'd like a free copy, and I will make a spreadsheet of those interested.Anyway, here is the basic structure at the moment.FIRST CAB OFF THE RANKSoftware StackCRM WebsiteAccountingGETTING THE WORKMarketingLead ManagementCommunicationSetting Up Your Documents & Templates (Scopes, Expense Tracking, T&C’s)OrganizationLANDING THE WORKQuotingFactoring In ProfitSite Visits & What To Look Out ForWriting The Most Professional Scope Of WorksLanding & Converting JobsHandling & Tracking VariationsInvoicingPay Terms / StructuresGetting PaidKNOWLEDGEReading PlansSelf LearningInvesting In The Right ToolsLearning On The JobProcesses & ProceduresUsing Debt OR Bootstrapping To ScaleExitingDOING THE WORKSetting StandardsWorking MethodicallyLogisticsTime ManagementFinding SuppliersBuilding Rapport With SuppliersCUSTOMER RELATIONSHandling DisputesBad DebtOnly Collecting 5 Star ReviewsKeeping It ProfessionalSTAFFEmployeesSubcontractorsDelegationCultureTHE SHIT STUFFOverheadsTaxesAccounting via /r/ebooks https://ift.tt/nZNlyhb
