how do you pick your hourly rate
to charge clients
Answer
There are a lot of things that go into an hourly rate--your education, experience and expertise, credentials and designations, geographic area and more. I'm not sure what services you're providing, but do a google search and look for average billing rates and info or call other service providers to see what they charge to get an idea of rates.

Michelle,
I purchased your book and wanted to say THANK YOU!! I'm a ProAdvisor and was wondering if you or any other "long-term" advisors have developed any questionnaires for clients to fill out prior to the first meeting. I have a client that has requested a block of time for QB training etc but I want to focus on what the client wants from the first meeting rather than just start from the beginning of the program. He has been using the program for 3 months and feels a little overwhelmed because he is so backed up. Any help would be appreciated.
