Inside this course · Your tutor
How do I price my services when I'm just starting out? I don't want to be too cheap or too expensive.
That's a very common question. The course covers several pricing models. For a new planner, a flat-fee package for a defined service can be a great starting point. This gives the client certainty and protects you from unpaid work if the scope changes. Would you like to walk through how to calculate a flat fee for a 'Day-of Coordination' package?

Set up a plant styling business, and maintain it too

The content was clear and practical — including the set-up of a plant styling business, and ongoing maintenance too.

The first weeks are the foundation, not a warm-up

The first weeks in the home are not a warm-up phase, they are the foundation. The guidance we give owners during this window can prevent months of remedial work later, making early intervention one of the most powerful tools we have as trainers.

More from students

“I love that it has different ways to learn! I'll keep learning about each flower's conditioning needs — I feel I've learnt so much already.”

Tammie O. · Verified student

“Very informative, and I like the focus on clients. It's better to give advice in small segments — just as we do with our dogs. Small steps.”

John H. · Verified student

“Real world responses — wow. The laws, and what it means to run a facility, is an eye opener. Even the less-common-pets section was eye opening — rabbits are illegal to keep as pets here in Queensland!”
