Someone asked me today, Katrina if you had to start all over again in business and you only had 3 months and $5,000 what would you do? 🤔

You know what, it kinda excited me thinking about it…why?

Because on this rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship I’ve learned a thing or two about what not to do. 🎢

When you start a business, many people try to get more for less…or in some cases, for free, so my answer would be – Don’t waste your money on unpaid opportunities!

🙅 🙅 🙅

When I first started out, sure, I would take what I could get, but over the years, I have learned to stand up for myself, my business, and my staff. 😫

So, no, I will not be doing that for free. 🚫

Here are a few suggestions of how to handle the situation if you find yourself in the same boat: 👇🏾

⭐⭐Part 1: Thank you so much for thinking of me. This sounds really awesome. Can you just confirm that this is a paid opportunity?

 

⭐⭐Part 2: Thank you so much for considering me. Here is the link to my services and pricing packages let me know if you have any questions.

⭐⭐Part 3: Thank you so much for considering me. I really appreciate it. I’m not able to take on any unpaid opportunities right now, but I am happy to circle back later if that changes.

 

⭐⭐Part 4:  Thank you so much for thinking of me. I typically charge a flat rate for that kind of advice so I’m not able to answer in the DM, but I will drop a link below and you can book a consultation with me.
