Start a personal concierge business while you keep your day job

You do not run the day to day of this business; Actionist does. Here is how it works on any business idea, applied to a personal concierge: you pick it, the agent plans every task, then works through them and brings you the few that need a human.

1. 01

   You pick the business and set your limits

   You choose your niche: the kind of client you want (executives, busy families, high-net-worth households), your pricing tiers and how many clients you can carry. That brief is the only heavy thinking you do. Everything after this, Actionist plans and runs around your schedule.

   →A clear brief Actionist can plan against.
2. 02

   Actionist maps every task and subtask

   Actionist breaks the whole business into a plan: the stages to launch, the tasks under each stage, and the subtasks under each task. You see the full scope in one place, from registering the business to building the supplier rolodex to sending your first client a shortlist.

   →A complete task plan for the business.
3. 03

   It schedules the work and works through it

   Actionist schedules the tasks and works through them one by one, so progress continues while you are at your job. It researches options, drafts shortlists, drafts messages and keeps the tracker current, picking up the next task as soon as the one before it is done.

   →Steady progress without you driving it.
4. 04

   It assigns you the tasks only a person can do

   Some tasks only a person can do: the intake call where a new client tells you what matters to them, or the moment you open a business bank account. Actionist assigns those to you with everything you need, then carries on with the rest of the plan once they are done.

   →A short, clear to-do list, just for you.
5. 05

   It asks before anything reaches a client or takes money

   Before Actionist sends a shortlist to a client, confirms a booking on their behalf or raises an invoice, it stops and asks you to approve. You choose how hands-on to be per task type, from approving every outgoing message to letting routine reminders run.

   →You stay in control of every client-facing move.
6. 06

   You keep your day job and check in when it suits you

   You run this around your job. Check the board when it suits you, approve what is waiting, and message Actionist over Telegram or Slack to nudge or adjust anything. The business moves forward between your check-ins.

   →A business that grows around your schedule.

This is the plan Actionist builds to launch the business: every stage, task and subtask. The work is split across your Actionist agents, from building your supplier rolodex to delivering the first client request. Only a handful of tasks and approvals are left to you.

An example plan Actionist builds for this business. Yours adapts to your client type, your pricing and your pace.

Here is what a week actually looks like once it is running. Your agents research and coordinate every day. You step in for a handful of moments, the ones only a trusted person can judge, and the rest of your week stays yours.

This is your reputation and your clients. Actionist asks before it does anything that reaches a client or touches money, and it keeps a complete record of every action so you can see exactly what happened.
