It is possible, some students will want to take private lessons for which the going rate is $30 per half hour. I don't anticipate much of this, but want to disclose the possibility. ***GUITAR LESSONS POSITION: teacher NATURE: Being new to where we live, part of my marketing plan for meeting new prospects is to volunteer to teach guitar classes for free for people in our neighborhood. I have that OBA approved and after 6 months of doing it, I have had several people approach me for my financial services because of knowing me through the volunteer work. I even have gotten new business already. While doing the free classes, some of the people have recently approached me about doing some private lessons for them to help them catch up with the rest of the class and they insist on paying me a small amount ($30). There shouldn't be many of these, but I want to make sure I get this approved before doing anything. I've got them on hold for now.

I believe these folks are good prospects for my SAI business and many from the classes have asked me to review their plans.
