WOW! "Take the Leap," confirmed I am on the right track. I will be celebrating 2 years with my Itty, bitty studio in the next couple of weeks. With this milestone on the horizon I am presenting my clients with a rate increase off-set with studio improvements that I can afford and my growing expertise. I have 3 clients who have been with me from my very first class. I consider these ladies my Core Clients! I have decided to award their commitment to me and their practice by not raising their current rate. I feel this is the right thing to do. Each of them has brought me new clients, respect my business model, arrive on time and honor their practice.
