The Chad Muncy Show

Today Chad talks about the basics of starting a local business. 

Assuming you have already checked laws and regulations...and you have met the requirements,

Understand what your job is. It is actually being punctual, it is having a quality service, product and treating people with kindness, it is being able to deal with people and problems… there are a lot of things, all of which you can get great at with practice, however, you can be the best at all of these things, and still not get any business.

Pricing has a direct effect on whether or not you get business. If your prices are too high and people don’t see the value then you won’t get customers, if your prices are too low, you’ll get tons of people who haggle and complain because you can’t afford to put the right amount of time into whatever product or service your offering.

First when you start landing clients from the stuff we are getting ready to talk about, don’t guess or let people haggle you on the pricing. Have set prices based on something. If you’re a painter that is painting animal portraits, have a price per square inch based on what type it is. If you’re a cleaner, have a price based on square foot or based on how many beds how many baths plus what services you’re providing.

What is a good price? Search the businesses that are similar to yours…that are closest to you and make sure you are not the cheapest. Here’s a secret. Create a package during the week or on the weekend based on what days your industry slows down. This package is cheaper than all of your competitors at that particular time but it has stipulations to make sure it’s well worth your time.

Foundational Setup (in order of importance)

Google Listing (over 3.5 billion searches per day on Google) if you're not on Google somewhere, you’re missing out on business.

• Get a google my business account and listing. You will sign up and they will send you a postcard to verify. Then your business will show up on Google Maps when someone is searching for an officiant in your area.

Networking if you are a wedding photographer (Rental Companies, Wedding Venues, Bridal Stores, DJ’s, Catering Companies, Wedding Bakers, Venues) 

•  Networking doesn’t mean selling yourself, it means getting to know them. Asking if you might be able to suggest them to your clients and if they would consider doing the same. Even Competition...Get to know them and let them know that if they are fully booked you’d be happy to assist and you will do the same if you’re booked and you get a call.

Facebook Page

• 1.62 billion users are on Facebook everyday. Create a business page with your logo and the packages you offer.
• Make sure you respond to messages and comments on the stuff you post.
• Post stuff from your page on the groups in your town that will allow it. I’ve gotten many customers from this.

Facebook Groups in your town and around your town

• Facebook Groups are an incredible way to network with businesses, customers, and people who know people who are looking for your services. Groups in the towns that you are willing to drive to will let you join most of the time and these are incredible places to meet people. Comment often on posts that position you as an expert. Answer questions that experts in your industry would answer.

Website

• Squarespace, Wix, Fiverr.com. 
• Get a one-page webpage up with an intro to you, services & pricing, and contact info...the rest can come later. and make sure it is on your Facebook, Google listing, and anywhere else that will allow you to put it.

In this episode, Chad talks about turning your skill, money, or talent into cash.

Most people dream of doing something that they absolutely love as a career that pays them very well. But that’s usually where it stops.

There are so many ways to make money with your skills, talent, or knowledge both online and offline, locally, or in person.

It can be your knowledge, not just something you are talented at that people want to learn about and are willing to pay you for.

1. People will pay you if you know 20-30% more than they do about something they want to learn about.
2. Your skill or talent can be taught or used to produce something. ie: painter, artist, cleaner, graphic designer, writer, etc.

Business and talent should be one and the same. No one wants to learn from someone or buy something from someone who isn’t knowledgeable or talented at what they are providing. It’s the foundation for a successful business. 

There’s a podcast that took off that shocked me. It was about HAMM radios and the technical side of it…about broadcasting. It would bore most people. This guy started a podcast and started selling coursed based on his knowledge. He’s doing very well.

1. Course creators are making great money. Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, host your courses and sell them.
2. Start blogging or get a small webpage that talks about your skill set. You need somewhere to send people to when you tell them about it. It needs: your story, contact info, and a way to get their contact information.

Making money isn’t that hard. You can coach, tutor, teach, create a course online, or in person, write an ebook, start a podcast…it’s endless.

If your idea is something that could start locally as a small business…maybe you are teaching classes once a week at the rotary club or lodge building in your town, maybe you are wanting to clean a few houses and make an extra $500 per week, maybe you want to do graphic design for people in your town…I’m going to go over the basics of starting a local business in the next podcast.

In this episode Chad covers an area that most people sway away from. Do you see an area where you know you could make a difference? Do you wish you were in a place of authority to make decisions that could positively change your life, others lives, an organization, or your business? Chad talks about how to get yourself into a place of authority so that you can become a leader that people want to follow. Listen to this episode to hear exactly what to do. Enjoy!

Many of you know my story. You know and have heard all of the tidbits. However, in this episode I go over the moments in my life that I decided to displace the fear of quitting my job. I talk about exactly what I did to get over the fear that I experienced about the future. I tell you what I did to move forward, the decisions I made, and the business that I got into and then I talk about exactly how I got it kicked off the ground.

My goal in this episode is to get you moving your butt in the right direction. I hope this episode inspires you to quit thinking and dreaming and start moving and going toward your future.

Here's her story:
"I'm French Canadian, born and raised in Montreal, where I earned my Law Degree and MBA. I spent several years as a lawyer as well as a Management Executive before being uprooted to Alabama, where I was forced to reinvent myself.

Not knowing anyone and feeling completely out of my element, I joined the Team at New York Life (NYL) in the Fast Track Program to become a Partner within the Mobile Office which covered the Southeastern region of the U.S. In 2017. I became the first woman Partner after 172 years for the Gulf Coast at NYL and in 2019 I received the Partner of the Year award. In 2020, I was introduced to Bob Proctor's methodology and decided to apply this 12-step process and was astounded by the outcome for both my team and own personal results.

Soon after, I had to move back to Canada.  I decided to pivot my career into full-time coaching and use my experience, high energy and processes to help other people to bring their lives and businesses to the next level, as I did. In December of 2020, after only a few months of being a full-time coach, I was already classified as one of the top 25 coaches around the world.

Every day, I ensure people reach their highest potential at lightning speed with the proven methodology."
