You've got a service. You want to start a business. So, we're going to talk in this

video 6 steps to take to start a services business.

-Alright. Let's dive right in. You said there were 6 ways to start a

service business. A services business. a business built around services as

opposed to products. -We can talk technical stuff about how you go on the

website and register your LLC. We're going to talk more practical. 6

practical things. Okay. The first thing, offer your service for free. -Okay.

-But this is just in the beginning. Just for a couple clients. -Okay. -Why is

there value in that? -Why would there be value? Well, for starters, if you're just

getting started, you have to have a past, a history. You have to have a baseline. A

track record, yeah. You've got to have people who accept your services and

hopefully have a great experience from them... -Let's say the service is you fix

washing machines. You want to offer a washing machine repair business.

Hopefully you've repaired some washing machines before. -Yeah. How nice is that?

-Fix a couple washing machines for people. Do a good job. Okay? Or you know, obviously,

we do video editing. That could be... You could create a portfolio after you if

you want to create a photography business. If you want to do a lawn care

service. -Well and you're also starting the referral process and you have to

start somewhere. So if you can get 2 or 3 customers that will allow you to

do work work for them for free. Which almost everyone will. You'll have some

nice referrals from that and word-of-mouth and you go from there.

That's how you launch. -So you do public speaking. -Mm-hmm. -Was the first speech you

gave paid? -Absolutely not. No, the first several. And I consult other

up-and-coming speakers as well. And I'll always tell them where to go. some good

places, some good sources for them to start doing freebies. Where they can

videotape them and start getting a compilation of imagery as well. Proof as

they call it. Evidence that you actually can speak to an audience,

yeah. But free is the best. -So that's that's number 1 of the six.

So number 2. -Boy. -Number 2 is to create a portfolio. Now, a portfolio might

not be the word that applies in your situation. It could be testimonials. You

know, create a list of testimonials or some type of way that you can show the

results, show your history, show your experience to your clients. So really

just create that portfolio. I think that's good. Let's move on to

number 3. Number three is to market that portfolio or market those

testimonials to your target audience. How do you do that? -Well, I would suggest

that you use YouTube. -Now, this... We talk a lot of different ways you can market. We

talk to YouTube a lot. We obviously talk to LinkedIn a lot as well. But in... For the

sake of this video, we're just going to say you've got your portfolio, you've got

your testimonials, the next step is then to market it. Really, you got to find your

target audience and you want them to see your testimonials or your portfolio.

Okay, so we're talking about starting a services business. If you really want to

run a business and not just be self-employed, you've got to create

systems. You've really got to systematize things. So I have a video editing service

that I offer. But I don't do video editing. And how is that? Well, I created a

system. A step-by-step process that I then hired people that they now

run that that system. So, that's my recommendation for step number 4 is

create systems to run your business. To actually do those services or provide

those services. Step number 5 is closely tied in with it. It's hire people

to run that system. I'm going to recommend the e-myth revisited. I talked about that

book a lot. Listen to it or read it. The e-myth revisited. It talks about the

systems. It talks about creating experience. But then hiring people to run

those systems. So step number 6. It's actually related as well. Hire people in

the Philippines if it's computer-based. I talked about the Philippines a lot. I

was just there. I met my team for the first time after 9 years of having

people there. -Now, that's interesting, isn't it? I mean he's had this team of

employees of people that he's hired that he uses for this work for 9 years and

he just now met them face to face. It's incredible what all of this

technology allows you to do as an entrepreneur. -So, as you create these

systems. If part of your services are part of your systems involve work on the

computer or work that's done online, then I definitely recommend hiring people

specifically in the Philippines. If you want to know more specifically why do I

pick the Philippines versus any other country, there's a video you'll find

right there. Where I go into all the reasons why I hire people in the

Philippines. But that really is. I'm not joking. That is step number 6. If

you want to create a services-based business. Go through the first 5 steps

first and then hire people in the Philippines. -Now, let me ask you this. You

say you've been hiring people there for the last 9 years or you've had a team

composed of probably a revolving door of people. But do you have any that have

been with you the whole time? -One person that I just met for the first

time. He's been with me 8 and a half years. -It's amazing. Just met for the

first... -And if you want to know how I find them, you'll find a link below

virtualassistanttool.com. That's just the database where I find people

in the Philippines that want to work for... And clearly, it works because the

finished product you see before you, the fact that he still had one of the same

people for 8 and a half years. And he only has had to visit them once in all

of that time is testament. -Now that I found, I'm going to go back. It was a great,

great time. -I'm sure you would, yeah. I mean, that's pretty neat. It speaks to the

effectiveness of the whole model. -So, this was a short video. But I hope it was

helpful. I really hope that you internalized and applied these 6 steps

because that's... That's what I did to start my business. And I've pieced these

together. It took me a lot longer to get there to figure out these 6 steps. And

if I would have just known these 5 steps. Offer service for free, create a

portfolio, market, systematized, outsource, right? Hire people to run the system.

Use the people in the Philippines. -And then give away those 6 steps to however many

people want to take them off of YouTube or LinkedIn. -So, if you like this video, be

sure to subscribe and we'll see you tomorrow.

Offer Your Services as a Charitable Donation Through Paint it Forward | by DYB Coach Ron Ramsden - Duration: 10:32.

Contributions and Charitable giving.

How many times are you asked to provide a check or free services or discounted services?

I want to tell you how we handle that.

I am Ron Ramsden, I am a DYB coach, also a painting contractor up here in New England.

It's been a business; you have to expect people to ask you for contributions.

If you are a convenient store, a painting contractor, or you are the bank, someone is

going to ask you to write a check.

What we like to do is we do write checks when we feel the need and we can afford to write

a check.

Sometimes you get recognition, and we are not always looking for recognition, we are

giving from our heart, and when we believe it needs to happen.

But we also have some pretty cool services we offer, which is painting.

Not everybody can paint, not everybody has a crew, you don't need to have a crew to

offer these services.

And they tell you a couple of times, we do offer it, we do offer it a couple times here,

as a campaign, and the campaign as some of you might have heard of Paint It Forward.

I want to walk you through the different steps of painting it forward and how we go about

getting people to nominate other people, and that's how we get people to figure out who

we want to give this charitable donation to.

And our charitable donation is labor and paint, at no cost to the recipient.

There is no set amount, you could give $1,000 worth of labor and material, or you could

give $5,000.

We found out sweet spot to be $3,500, you can send a crew in there for a couple of days,

and work wonders with our paint.

So, let me walk you through first how you nominate someone, and how you get people to

nominate.

We go and we fill out a Google form, you can make Google forms on Google, we ask for people

to nominate other people, organizations or other charities.

Occasionally, we will get someone nominate someone in their own family, and it's usually

a wife nominating a husband, the husband has fallen into hard times, it maybe injury, sickness

or something like that, that financially in the house needs a little help.

So, what we ask is the person nominating, of course, their name first, all their contact

information, because if we have more questions that we have to narrow the field down to choose

one, sometimes we have to ask additional questions.

And if they are awarded the contribution, we have to know how to coordinate it, you

need all that information, and make that a must fill out.

Secondly, we want to know who they are nominating, what organization, person, or charity.

From there, we ask for the charities information, address and things.

If the charity has a website, we would like to check that out too, but it is anything

else, we then ask for a paragraph or two, or story on why this person should be chosen.

Sometimes you get a one or two line answers and sometimes you get 2 or 3 paragraphs and

sit down when you are reviewing these, because some of them are really [inaudible 03:10]

and it is really hard on some occasion to get a decision, because you just want to give

your services to everybody, so I want to warn you about that first.

So, what we do is we get the nomination pages.

And how do we get the word out?

The word goes out through all our networking groups, we ask at the end, usually, does anybody

have an announcement?

We use that time for our announcements, we also might want to print out something about

it, if you want to put a flyer together or our 60-second commercial during our BNI networking

events, we always mention it then.

And what I usually do is mention it a few times coming up into it we usually start

this nomination process, about 2 months prior, to choosing somebody.

Also, any other networking event.

Then we want to post it on social media: Facebook, wherever else you can put it, we email this

to all our clients.

All your clients email list, put a MailChimp campaign out there and make sure you get it

out to them.

and then you can take the link to that Google form and add it everywhere.

And then you want to remind people to nominate, because people have best intentions, but they

don't always jump on it right away.

So, you might end up with 5 nominations, you might end up with 30 nominations, our average

is probably 8 to 14, 8 to 15 nominations at any one time.

Some of them, it's not easy to pass, but there is so much more need in some places.

So, I just want to let you know what we do next.

We then narrow it down to about 3 different people or organizations, and then we start

really digging it into finding out what they are doing, maybe make some phone calls, emails

and ask some additional questions.

Recently, we chose an organization called Debby's Treasure Chest.

Debby's Treasure Chest is in the city, right next to me, that helps a lot of needy families,

this is actually their second time being nominated, the first time we were overwhelmed and we

did chose somebody else, but this time they haven't had any work done in their facility

for a long time, it is basically where people drop off clothes and things for needy people,

they sew it, they clean it, people come in and they give them cloth sizes, toys for the

kids, books for the kids, backpack, this is a totally non-profit organization, nobody

takes any kind of salary, and they have been overwhelmed lately, so we decided that this

would be a great time, we contacted the person who nominated them, let them know they won,

they were very excited obviously, and we had to find out a time to present them, the winner.

You can walk in the office and say, congratulations, and everybody is happy.

But this is the time that you can get a little media coverage from this, every now and then

you have to pat yourself on the back and this is the time we pat ourselves on the back and

we show the community that we are giving back.

So, we go in, we used to bring balloons, flowers and things like that, that was really great,

we stepped it up a little bit this time and I want to show you how.

So, we had a check made out, it is a good-sized check, it's basically a white wood, this

one happens to have a frame on it, you can write right on it.

So what we did is, we write Debby's Treasure Chest on it, we had $3,500, and we brought

this in, in a big bag, actually used a Home Depot black bag, because it fits perfect around

us, and we were able to present them with that, during a get-together they had with

about 40, 50, 60 people there.

And they did take some pictures, the media was there, actually the police department

was there taking pictures, they were a part of it, so we actually got a lot of press,

not that we were looking for, but it's nice to get it.

So, a sign like this, a white board, check mate out this, this is about $100, your local

printer can do something like this, the guy who does all my engraving, printing and things

was able to put that together for me.

So, this was a great eye catcher and it got a lot of wow factor.

So, now what we do is, we've given them the donation, now we have to act on it.

So, what we do is, then we make an appointment with them and then we can go over colors with

them ahead of time, if we have to bring in a color person to give us a hand, we do, if

they don't know their colors, and then we can coordinate it on our time.

So, maybe it is a Saturday, maybe a crew would like to donate the day, not all the time that

my crew wants to give up their Saturday, very understandable, some of my crew's spouses,

significant others work on Saturdays, and they are at home with kids, or helping other

people, so I totally understand that, it is my decision to give the charitable donation

away so we tend to do it during the work week, on a Thursday or Friday, if it bleeds over

to Saturday, also do it, we make sure it happens.

On this one, it just happened to work out that we are doing it next month, and we are

going to be doing it not on weekends, because they can actually control the foot traffic

in certain areas, so they are giving different offices for us to paint.

So, we are going to make this fun, we are going to take more pictures, we are going

to have shirts made up, with our paint it forward, our logo, Debby's Treasure Chest

giving back on the front of it, we are going to give it to all the staff there, so they

all have one, we will all have one, and we will get some great media coverage out of

it.

So, that's how we give out back to our major contributions, in the painting field in my

area, we do get some press, we will actually then take the pictures from that, front that,

we are going to write up our own article and then we will send it over to the local newspaper.

Local newspapers also love when you give them everything on a silver platter.

The people writing for the newspaper, they can't be everywhere, they can't take pictures,

but if you can provide all these for them, you are more likely to get put into the paper.

So, we have those free newspapers, those will be happening, our page newspaper, that would

be happening, and also we are going to post this on all of our social media channels,

and as well as send this out as a MailChimp campaign, just to let them know that we gave

back.

We sent one out when we got awarded this, we had a picture and the title was giving

back to our community, a nice picture, a nice paragraph or two underneath it, and that's

all we did.

So, great way to give back to the community, I just wanted to share how our process is.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me at ron@dybcoach.com, or find me on Facebook,

I would love to chat with you.

Have fun, give back, it feels so good when you can help other people, thank you, have

a good one.
