Unreal.
I agree with all of the above replies.
I tell you what I would like to see... a documentary showing the ladies who have children or disabilities that do this even though they are often only ?20 a week better off as they do not want to rely wholly on benefits. The ladies who have bought one or more properties from years of hard work, even though they religiously pay their tax. The ladies who have given up professional careers, that they have studied, trained and given up years for, as they simply prefer this career.
This business involves me using the following skills:
Self awareness
Creating a 'brand' and a unique selling point, even when there was not one naturally
Creating and developing a website, including SEO
Social Media Marketing
Traditional forms of advertising, marketing and promotion
Self-discipline
Research skills
Time management and diary planning, general organizational skills
Tour planning, involving travel and accommodation booking and a lot of research
Having a polite, warm yet business like telephone manner, along with other forms of good communication
The ability to talk about current affairs in an informed way, history, science and all manner of things, on a longer booking
Creative writing via blogging
Budgeting for equipment and touring
Financial planning for future incall property
Daily bookkeeping and filing of tax information
Commitment, patience, perseverance.
The above is before I even speak to a potential customer and have to use my common sense and a touch of psychology in order to not only secure a booking but keep myself safe.
I'd love to know what you feel a 'business guru' can teach me about general business (though I still have an awful lot to learn about this biz) , all my clients bar one have rebooked, that has nothing to do with my physical looks or skills, but simple client retention.
Take a look at your own preconceptions before trying to challenge other peoples.
