Ready pathway
Gig Ready: a first gig plan.
Define a service you can offer independently and plan conversations with potential first clients.
US$488 · 2 days + 90-day practice and coaching
Cohort dates: To be determined.
01 · What feels stuck
Is this where you are?
You have a skill, but it is not yet clear how that skill becomes an offer another person can choose.
Who this is for
People with a usable skill who want to define an independent service and test it with potential clients. This programme develops the service offer, not the underlying technical skill.
02 · What you will do
What you will leave with
Define what service you will offer, who it helps and which potential clients you will speak to first.
- A defined service and sample
- A draft quotation
- A delivery checklist
- A 90-day outreach plan

Day 2: Find clients and deliver what you promise
Find people worth contacting
Identify plausible prospective clients. Write a specific and respectful opening message.
Output: A prospect list and outreach draft.
Turn an enquiry into an agreed brief
Clarify objectives, inputs and deadlines. Confirm scope and the next decision in writing.

Output: A 90-day outreach and delivery plan.
Daily times, venue, group size and entry requirements will be confirmed for each cohort.
Explore an exercise and its review questions
"One More Thing": a simulated client requests extra work; the provider clarifies the change and demonstrates a handover.
Feedback and review: Check whether the response protects the agreement while giving the client a workable choice.
What you revise or apply: Record changes and use a delivery checklist on the next job.
Inspect a worked example: Define an offer someone can assess
Illustrative teaching example. This is fictional, not a participant submission, facilitator feedback record or evidence of results.
- Starting draft
- I can help with social media.
- Review question
- For whom, with what deliverable and where does the work stop?
- More specific version
- I draft four captions from a cafe owner’s supplied menu and photos. We agree the scope, review round and fee before work begins.
Try it: write your own starting statement, answer the review question and choose one action you can check afterwards.
03 · Time and included support
Your attendance and follow-through
You continue by testing the offer in real conversations. It does not promise clients or income.
Included in the fee: 90 days to implement what you learnt and committed to during the two-day programme.
- Between coaching days: put your commitments into practice and use the WhatsApp group for online peer coaching.
- Day 30: half-day group coaching.
- Day 60: half-day group coaching.
- Day 90: half-day group coaching and graduation.
Plan for the two programme days, three half-days of group coaching and time between them to implement your commitments. Implementation time depends on the work you choose; it is separate from the coaching sessions.
Soo Hoo Yoon Hunn facilitates the group coaching. Coaching dates, times, delivery format and missed-session arrangements will be confirmed before booking.
What to bring to each coaching session

- Day 30
- Bring the service offer, sample and evidence from initial customer conversations.
- Day 60
- Review feedback, enquiries and any delivery attempts; revise scope or pricing.
