Jon W Queno Musical Instruments started the discussion Workshop motivation. in the forum General Business 9 months ago
To all the amateur looths who also have a day job, how do you make time to actually do your looth work? My evening job has me away for 11 hours a day, 7 days a week. Add in sleep time and meals, I only have about 4 hours a day for everything else. What do you do to get motivated to be in the workshop?

Good Day all.
I am just about to undergo a small project with a local programmer to make a simple client booking and job sheet creator.
The idea is not to compete with shop flow etc but to be a simple solution for booking, assessment, job sheet and tagging guitars.

Business a year agoa year ago (edited)
I am thinking of doing some contract work with local music shops as most in my area seem to do little with actual repairs, I’d like to get more guitars into my shop. To those of you who have done this work in the past or currently do, what were the financials like? Any words of wisdom?
Cheers
Pete

I have one shop that (I think) uses me for all their guitar repair work, and another that uses me for major stuff they are not equipped to do. I give them 20% off my usual labor, and collect payment as I bring the work back to them.

I work with a local music shop that now outsources all their guitar and string work to me. Before the switch to sending work directly to me, I would pick up and drop off at their store, and I’d charge my standard rates while they marked up the cost as they saw fit to the end customer.
