The aim.
The aim of the ‘Do’ Day courses is to bring artisans/craftsman/entrepreneurs together with people who want to learn how to ‘Do’.
Why we ‘Do’ it?
The Do lectures is a not for profit company that’s in business to inspire people to go and make a change, to make a difference, to find a better way.
In order to provide talks for Free to the World, we have to find ways that help pay for Free. The ‘Do’ day courses are one of the ways that help us pay for Free. The good thing is it fits with our idea of inspiring people to go ‘Do.’
Why ‘Do’ will be good for you.
The Do Lectures will bring a new audience to you. They’re a progressive and influential bunch of people. We will market yourself via The Do Lectures digital platform (website, social media etc) which is a growing and influential crowd of people. You will get paid a fee for a days work. And we pay quick. And, apart from the day of teaching, we do pretty much everything else.
The Formula for a ‘Do’ Day course.
1, We only invite the ‘change makers’ to teach.
2, Keep it fun. People learn best while laughing.
3, Great food matters. (Local. Organic. Simple.)
4, Don’t make it stuffy. Create an irreverent atmosphere.
5, Stay small. Stay intimate. (10-15 people max.)
6, Passion is good to be around.
8, Real locations. Never, ever, from a conference center.
The ‘Do’ Day Course Business model.
We believe the ‘Do’ can be good for all parties. It can create income for the artisan and The Do Lectures and a great learning experience.
Expenses will be paid to the Artisan and The Do Lectures before anything else. These will include travel, materials and providing great food for our customers etc. All expenses will be agreed beforehand.
After deducting expenses, the split be the following:
Artisan – 70% of ticket price (After expenses)
The Do Lectures – 30% of ticket price (After expenses)
Work together on this stuff.
Together we will agree the pricing, the date and the format of the event.
If it doesn’t work for you, it won’t work for us or the customer.
So we will make sure you are happy with everything before we start.
And then it will fun for everybody.
The small Print.
Payment will be within 7 days of the course being completed.
All our prices exclude VAT.
If the course doesn’t achieve a 60% take up, together we can make a decision whether to go through with it.
Customer cancellations: Up to 3 weeks before, we will give a 80% refund. After that, we will not be able to give a refund unless we find someone else to take their place, which is fair.
Any customer who is not happy, we will simply refund their money. No questions asked.
