    Default £1200 pah!! - Warning, a big head moment.

    Firstly, I will apologise for – talking about money, bragging and being cocky – all in the same thread.

    This week has been an amazing week for confirmed bookings for me (and it’s only Wednesday) – So far I have over £5k worth of bookings including one tonight for a wedding where my charge is in excess of £2k AND only using me and my services. What makes it even better was the bride actually offered MORE as it is going to be such a long day.

    I know compared to some of the big guys out there this is ‘normal’ but I am really pleased with myself especially as 3 years ago I was stuck in the £150 a disco rut. I never believe I am brilliant but now have the confidence and belief in myself which is starting to show. I know the whole country is suffering but in the North East we are having a pretty rough time of things, but hopefully goes to show that these challenging times can be overcome. I don’t want to sound big headed or anything and people who know me know how modest I am especially when it comes to my own ability and skills, so thought I rightfully deserve a ‘show off moment’.

    My fees are going to be taking quite a substantial hike next year which I have no fear about, my challenge now is to get booking like I have had this week on a more regular basis.

    Brag over, off to be chuffed with myself.

    Wow. In that case that is truly amazing!

    Would you be willing to share the services that you sold and the value?

    Well done that man I think it is just having the confidence to believe in yourself and the type of service you provide. Over the last year or so I have invested in good quality equipment and will continue to do so. Hopefully this will allow me to confidently increase my prices.
