Hey all - Apologies for this being a week late! Here's the full recording of the recent presentation on retainers as well as the accompanying notes: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/share/PWYtvVpEu7xePHp68PWLvZpXNbb7rj0elU1bmh3m5tOb5hG-Kw8qZTbfNnK_BedE.s7jE9wwRwZtnRMQj?startTime=1695920617000 Passcode: 7C8jJwH? I'd like to thank @David Rovira and @Paola Ferrario for supporting me on this...your steadfast support was very much appreciated!

One of the great things about what we do is you can do it as an employee or go out and become your own company. Whilst the later comes with amazing benefits there are a lot of areas that need to be considers… Like - What does it take to set myself up as a business or do I just contract in. - If I am setting myself up as a business am I a sole trader.. registering by business - Defining your purpose and setting clear goals yearly, quarterly - Defining your target customers, products, services and financials. Whilst this is a passion space for a lot of us, you still need to understand your revenue needs. - Branding and marketing - What do you need to set yourself up… physically, technology - Contracts for engagements - How to build a pipeline, managing you customer base Making sure you get work life balance! Would be interested in hearing and learning from each other on what made sense for you and what you would like to share with the rest of the community…

Hello Facilitators👋 I'm really curious about where everyone is from. I'd love to make this a mega post where we can see how diverse the Facilitator Club community is. Who knows, you might find a lot more people in your area than you thought! Once I have lots of answers on this post, I want to make a nice graph!
