So choosing to go your own route, first and foremost, I'm going to answer and like choosing to go your own route, and then I'm going to give an alternative to someone that's like, oh, I don't love how that feels, because there's actually, there's another option besides agency. So choosing to go your own route. First of all, let's talk about the pros. The biggest pro, in my opinion, is you get to keep 100% of the profit, except for what the IRS takes, which. Is a good amount. Just so everyone knows, taxes are still a thing, but outside of taxes and your business expenses, you do get to keep that profit and you really going at your going your own route and directly contracting with schools is out of the the three paths right school employee working for someone else, or starting your own. Starting your own is hands down the path where you have the most autonomy and most control. I even put it in contracts. This is what I do, this. This is it. You know, you signed it. This is my scope. You can put caseload caps in there. You can put what you will do or won't do in there, although I will say just so everyone knows, I used to put, like, no bus duty in there. Schools that are paying contractors do not want you doing bus duty. So I actually did. I could take that out because schools are like, we don't want you out there. You're not our salary staff. So first, you get to keep the profit. Second, you have the most autonomy. And third, I really like how it pairs with a private practice model, because especially pediatric private practices, where you have that dip when the school year starts, this can be kind of that other revenue stream that sustains your business throughout the year. Because there are small, small contracts, it actually really bodes well, too with niche providers like our AAC, people out there that are like, this is all I want to do. I actually have a company that I send schools to that just provides AAC, because that's not my area of expertise. So it pairs really well with that. So it's, it's just, it's such a great setup for someone. Also, if you're like me and you're like, I want to be a business owner, but I don't want to work in the summer. That was really big for me. I've always wanted my summers off. For those of you who follow me, you know, I'm a hobby farmer, I have cows, I have kale, like it's a whole thing. And so summer off is really important to me to accommodate my hobbies and and my children, I guess I should probably mention they. They're there too. So that is direct contracting. You get autonomy. You get to set your rate, you get 100% of the rate. And then, of course, you pay your taxes and business expenses after that. And it pairs, well, it's a revenue stream. If you got some other things going on, it kind of pairs, well, beautifully with that. So I do want to talk about the con, because that's really important to me to, like, set it straight with people, because I don't think it's for everyone. The cons first and foremost, in my opinion, I do find with healthcare, in particular, I do have the benefit of being under my my husband's insurance, and so I've never had to navigate that. It is something to navigate, and I recommend. There are people who do it, and I have customers that I've coached that do it and do have their own insurance. But it's it's hard to if you are someone like a single parent that needs that salary, that needs that reliability and that health care, I would, I would take that into consideration before you make this leap and really look at it. And then the other con that I like to tell people is, unless you have a great school connection, this doesn't fall into your lap. You do have to put yourself out there. You do have to sell. And if that's uncomfortable for you, I wouldn't recommend this route, because even if you do have a great connection and you're with that school. If you want to expand and grow this revenue, you're going to have to sell, sell at some point. Now, it's not as daunting as it seems. A lot of it's really relationship building once you do make that first call, um, I the this bed directors that I've sold to are some of my closest friends. Still to this day, you develop such a good relationship, but making that call, it's a whole psychological thing, and not everyone wants to do that and navigate that. So that's one of the cons.
