There are several advantages and perks to owning your own concierge business or errand service. Here are just a few reasons:
Make Your Own Lane - The personal and professional satisfaction of being your own boss.
Most
entrepreneurs would agree that being self-employed and running a small
business is consuming, risky and sometimes pretty stressful. But
there's nothing like creating your own lane and building your own
enterprise from scratch. We are energized by our growth, independence
and self-reliance! It's a good feeling, isn't it? Even when there is
risk involved and anxiety surfaces, an entrepreneur understands the
value of overcoming setbacks and obstacles along the way. Do you have
what it takes to be an entrepreneur? Take this assessment and find out!
Running your own errand service kicks your creative engine into high gear.
Every
day presents a new challenge with the unique requests you receive from
your clients. Ever been asked to arrange for an 18-wheeler to be
converted into a wedding chapel? It happens! Believe me, in this line of
work, you discover your creativity, resourcefulness and talent in
finding different ways to meet the needs and desires of your clients.
And
if you're the kind of creative who is stimulated by a challenge, this
is the right business for you. In every type of business, there is
always that one customer or client who pushes the envelope just to see
what you can do. Concierges always come charged up and prepared to
battle any obstacle!
You create bigger opportunities for yourself.
By
nature of the business, you attract many people of different
backgrounds and professions, whether they are customers or vendors you
contract with to help you coordinate and provide services (i.e. car
detailer or event planner). This broadens your database of resources,
contacts, and clientele, which eventually also refer more clients back
to you.
Owning a personal concierge /
errand service can offer more advantages than increased income. For
starters, you enhance your resume portfolio easily by 70%. How? By
demonstrating your problem-solving talents to service your customers,
you prove your value as a major asset to any employer.
Through your business, you provide a vast array of services to benefit your clients. Most of the time, you wear many hats - coordinator, manager, customer service, executive assistant, administrator and ambassador, just to name a few. But remember that each time you switch hats, you prove your ability to excel at multiple types of tasks. Potential employers place a premium on candidates who can switch gears at sudden notice, and do so gracefully. So, the next time you're updating your resume, do not hesitate to include the abundant responsibility you carry not only as a business owner, but also as a pet caregiver or travel advisor and coordinator, or miracle worker!

You get paid to do what you love.
If
you enjoy helping people reduce stress of modern daily living in and be
more productive in their personal and professional lives, then you are
making the right choice in owning or starting a concierge business. I
can't even tell you the countless times my clients have expressed
sincere gratitude and appreciation for the simple luxury of saving them
time! You really do make a difference in their lives. In time, you
become an extension of your clientele's personal and professional
network - occasionally, even an addition to the family! It has been a
truly rewarding experience for me. I feel so fortunate to have found a
way to build personal and financial wealth doing something I enjoy.
Owning a Concierge Business or Errand Service or Lifestyle Management Company is never boring.
Many
personal concierge businesses and lifestyle management companies are
contracted by affluent individuals or families to provide first class
world-class service on their estate. Often times the client will have
the personal concierge travel with them to luxurious places around the
world. You get to experience a lifestyle that you may not be able to
afford on your own. And even better, get paid a handsome salary at the
same time!
