6. Find a target market! There are so many niches for this business that you might be tempted to do them all when you first open up. However, I strongly propose that you pick one or two niche markets and go after them first. Do them well and then you can pick a few more. If they don't do well and tank, then you have hundreds of other niches to pick from!

Choose a new niche and then re-focus, re-work your business and then re-launch! The key here is to never ever give up!!! Some niches colse to the country contain hospitals, small/medium/large companies, condominiums, shopping malls, airports, office buildings, neighborhoods, individuals, colleges/universities, country clubs, senior shop and more. I could go on and on there are so many out there!

7. Market, market, market... Join your local room of commerce, networking groups... Get out there and shake people's hands and tell them what you do! Talk it up everywhere you go. Attend as many expos and receptions that you can! I think face-to-face marketing is key when beginning up a business... So talk it up people!!

9. Keep your focus on where you are going... And not on what is hitting the fan at any particular moment. Know that you can do this!! See the future that you want, daydream about it and see yourself being there!!!

10. Finally, the most foremost part of concierge work... Customer Service! It's the hallmark of the concierge industry... Over-the-top anticipated Customer service. I think everybody should build a Customer aid plan. You should talk about every day, not just once in a while!
