They always just “fall off”… @sakramel_world 😂 Do you have clients like that?

Really puts it perspective....

😳😳😳OMG YOU CHARGE A CANCELLATION FEE 😳😳😳

How dare you!

How dare you charge a fee when you didn’t deliver the activity !

Crazy right?

Actually, nope.

Booking deposits, and cancellation fees are becoming a very common factor in the small business world.

And you know what?

THEY SHOULD BE.

Think of it like this…

Could you call British Airways after no showing for your flight and expect a refund?

Nope.

Could you imagine calling Virgin Atlantic and asking them for a seat on their Saturday 10:30am flight to Barbados, but you’ll pay when you get there?

Nope.

Could you imagine calling easyJet and telling them you can’t make the flight leaving in an hour but you’d like a seat for free on the flight an hour later?

Nope.

We work like a flight. Once the plane has gone, the seat has lost its money.

Same as your space.

When you work in a business where you trade time for money, time IS money.

So when people don’t want to pay for your time, and you put it on loan with no collateral, you risk losing that money.

Now, I know times are tough and odd and weird.

Costs are rising.

People are worried about money.

But we aren’t talking about booking vs not booking.

We are talking about booking space and paying for it vs not paying for it.

That’s very different.

Booking deposits and cancellation policies are in place to -

Protect the small business owner
Reassure the client
Make an agreement between two parties, official.

An agreement that says you’ll give your time, in exchange for money.

A small business owner should never feel guilty for putting a £ sign on their time or product.

It’s what every single business has ever done in the entire history of time.

Except the ones that didn’t. And they didn’t last.

Just in case you’re not having the most relaxing weekend and the thought of half term isn’t filling you with the joys of Spring, leaving this here to remind you it could be worse. 😂😂😂 This makes me HOWL laughing - with a huge side of WTAF??! 😱😳😱😳😱😭😭😂 Where do you start? Their utterly infectious hilarity, the “there for the grace of god go I” bit and nothing but utter sympathy for their parents who are going to get the shock of their lives. Possibly two differing parental reactions - dare I say mum will be HORRIFIED (admittedly she would find it a lot funnier if weren’t her kids) whereas dad would think it’s hilarious and that they’re a bunch of bozos who will be reminded of their foolishness every time they look in the mirrors for the next 6 months. On the upside, that’s the 18th/21st/wedding video sorted. SO much funnier when you’re a parent and it’s not your child 😂😂😂 I must have watched this about 20 times and it gets funnier each time! THANK YOU to one of my blooming awesome WhatsApp girls’ groups who sent this. You all know who you are and you make every day that very much brighter ☺️☺️ (I would LOVE to credit whoever owns these kids if anyone knows… I would also love to know what happened next 😂😭😂😭😂)

Absolutely loved doing these, definitely need to get my mojo back for sure

🥰🥰

Love looking at old photos, then think I need to get my passion back 😓
