Wait .. are you saying .. a business plan should be done first?
Don't listen to Jeff....

Before you know it, you'll be telling me he uses CONTRACTS!

You're probably right about making more than me right now. Things for me depend on how long it will take for me to get back into it after my surgery.Mix I get the urge to buy gear trust me when I say I buy s**t I don't need all the time. Sometimes I buy it and resell it very quick sometimes I make a few bucks on it sometimes I lose a few bucks on it and sometimes (more often than not) I keep it. I got gear coming out my ears here much of it I don't use on a regular or even semi regular basis
The difference is I've had a reason to buy it. There was a solid plan in place to make money or it was a toy. You buy with no solid plan hoping you may use it someday. I'll put money on it that I'll make more profit this month, the slowest month of the year, than you will all year.
Make yourself the rule that if it's not making you long term money you don't buy it. Take the hundreds you save and put it in to a website and business cards. Follow that and this time next year you and your bank account will thank me
As far as contracts go hood rats or people spending $250-300 are not used to signing contracts. So to get people like that to sign a contract is nearly impossible. That's another reason to upgrade the price I want people to pay.
That $150 event won't seem much worthwhile once you have a lawsuit on your desk that threatens to take your business.....
Good point.In some cases, the business wouldn't THAT BIG of a loss
... but because our liability insurance is not valid without a contract. Let that sink in. We have no insurance if we have no contract. The amount of the contract has little to do with it.
You don't need a lengthy contract .. you can get the basics down on a single side of a single page ... What, where, when, who and how much .. it just makes sure there is an agreement of all parties. You can move to more complex contracts when your events warrant it.You're probably right about making more than me right now.
