WHAT'S COVERED

1

Start with the end

Your business should fund your life, not the other way round. This chapter covers the four freedoms (time, money, relationships and purpose) and why your price has to start with what you actually want out of the business.

What you really cost

Charge £50 an hour and you're not making £50 an hour. Van, fuel, insurance, tools, Gas Safe, ACS, holiday, pension: add the lot up and work out your survival rate — the bare minimum you need just to break even.

Keeping up with inflation

Materials, fuel and National Insurance have all climbed. If your prices haven't moved with them, you're doing the same work for less money every year.

Setting your price

Put your desired rate, your regional data and your goals together and set the number on purpose.

Holding your nerve

Setting the price is one thing, holding it is another. What to do when a cheaper engineer turns up locally, why you shouldn't instinctively drop your prices, and how to give your number without over-explaining or apologising for it.

There are three rates. Most businesses are charging the wrong one.

Rate one

Survival rate

The bare minimum to cover the business and break even. Nothing for you beyond keeping the lights on.

Rate two

Reality rate

Survival, plus paying yourself a proper wage. This is the sort of salary you'd earn working for someone else.

Rate three

Desired rate

Everything covered, a proper wage, and genuine profit on top. The profit that moves you towards your personal goals.
