What It's About
A listener seeks advice on how to price her services to help families with autistic children.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1295
What about a side hustle that deals with a sensitive important issue? On one of the Third Way calls, we heard from someone who’s doing end-of-life care, serving both individuals in that situation as well as their families. If you think about it, it’s a very important need to navigate all sorts of issues related to that, so if someone can be helpful in that process and knows what questions to ask, what suggestions to make, etc. - Then it’s very valuable. But of course it can also be difficult to think about charging money for a service like that, even though it’s needed. In this episode, another listener who’s part of the Third Way group recently launched a coaching service for parents and caregivers of autistic kids. How can she decide on her pricing?"Hi, Chris. This is Judy from Asheville, North Carolina. I love your show and your side hustle encouragement. I recently launched a parenting coaching service for people like me, parents and caregivers of autistic kids. It's called the parenting champion. My question is, how do I price my services? I have two service options. The first is a one-time parent coaching session, and the second is a customized parent coaching option for a more individualized and long term plan as the parents of an autistic child. I know the budget for services that are not covered by insurance can be tight. I don't want to underprice my service and expertise, but I don't want to price over what families can afford. Is a sliding scale. A good idea where I can adjust or set the price each time? Or should I just use a flat fee? Thanks, Chris, for your thoughts and any suggestions that you have."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
