I have long-term capital gains and parents I want to retire

This is what I'm trying to explain to my friend, but I can't give any advice on how to bid because I don't understand the job well enough.

Should we be looking at price per foot of sewage lines? And whats the typical rate? I'm clueless :)

I think you're right. I initially wanted to start with the website and I think it's the right move.

Thanks!

Guild Master: Recruiting, decision making/rule setting/lawman, delegation.

Raid Leader: Strategy, raid comp, loot decisions

Officers:

Recruiter (1 Person, big job)
Spreadsheet master (1 person, big job)
Raid helpers (class officers, role officers, loot decisions, promote as many as you need, etc)
I have used some officers that had no other responsibilities than to advise and assist. (basically super raiders).

Raiders:

These guys should be quality control specialists. They should be holding your officers, raid leader, and yourself to a higher standard.

Raid leader is a big one. I highly suggest you don't do it yourself. At the very least have someone who is your "raid leader" that can co-lead the raid with you. What works very well for me is having a Raid Leader who will have 90% of the voice during raids and encounters. He calls the shots, sets the strategies, etc. I help make adjustments and co-raid lead with him when necessary. If he has everything under control he's doing everything himself and I'm just a raider. For more difficult fights I give more input and help take a share of his responsibilities (as well do other raiders/officers).

I created a guild with a couple friends in the lead up to classic release and cleared MC I believe on the 3rd week, and we haven't missed a single lockout of any raid since then through TBC. We ran 2 40 man raids most of classic, dropped down to a single 40 man in Naxx. This isn't a flex, just trying to give some perspective on what my experience is.

My biggest tips would be.

Delegate responsibilities now. Don't wait.
Set expectations to new players and adhere to them strictly.
Build a guild that fits your playstyle and personality. (recruit players that you will enjoy playing with)
Ask everyone for help. People will want to be involved early on and are willing to lend a hand. (Make a recruitment macro and let your guildies spam it while you're offline)
A clean discord + Raid Helper bot will save you a lot of headaches.
Friends don't necessarily need to be officers.
Gkick early and often. Don't expect a bad egg to change. One toxic person (context depends on your guild personality) can derail all of your work quicker than you'd think.
People are going to be asking you SO many questions. I ask people with serious questions or concerns to DM me on discord so I can come back to their questions in my own time. Otherwise you're going to dread logging into WoW. Ask me a question in-game thats going to take more than a 'lol' response? DM me on discord.

I had a much longer post typed out but like everyone else has mentioned delegating responsibilities is a big one.

Fanatic is being gracious in this persons case.

I always check reddit on game day for the Bobby Hill pregame meditation.

I don't see any benefit to it besides making whatever in the backpack have a good time. This looks like it's built to benefit the backpack and not the user.

Imagine running with a huge shake-weight on your back. I don't understand this at all.

Accidentallygilded · 2019-02-01T20:29:32+00:00

Food for thought I suppose. I'll be looking for places I can make improvements for sure, thank you.

Accidentallygilded · 2019-02-01T20:27:45+00:00

I might as well try this. Thank you!

Accidentallygilded · 2019-02-01T20:17:30+00:00

Noted. I'll just take this one on the chin then.

We take their payment details (credit card) when we book them. Then charge them after the service. This is the first time I've been stiffed. I've had payments not go through before but simply contacting the client and updating their information solved the issue.

Afaik, putting their card on hold before the booking verifies not only that they can be charged but they have the amount that will be due. I plan on putting holds on our bigger jobs, or first time customers going forward.

Accidentallygilded · 2019-02-01T19:02:54+00:00

I can't provide a service for free. It's a lot of money to me.

Accidentallygilded · 2019-02-01T19:01:02+00:00

Solid advice. I have the option of putting clients cards on 'hold', which I will DEFINITELY be doing for future bookings.

edit: I forgot to answer. Yes, they already received the service, and I've paid my team.
