Mechanics will fight this note tooth and nail. They do not believe that the knowledge they have earned makes them worthy of professional benefits.
Sell sell sell if you are afraid of selling hire a sales person, Sell bikes, sell classes, sell parts, so you can afford rent, healthcare, salaries, and afford to give back to the community more than you take from it.
You are not in business to get broke, you are there to give the community a
resource. Earning a Bike is different than undervaluing your bike building/
repair services. If someone is give you their time you can give them a
discount on your professional services.
Sell your service for top dollar, give back to your volunteers and pay your
employees. YOU ARE IN BUSINESS Non for Profit is not a go broke fast scheme.
If you are broke all the time how can you give to the community when you are
sick or injured? How can you afford to get the tools or the training you
need for your staff? How can you afford to take your youth or adults on events
or programs outside the shop? You are Worth a lot, charge for it, respect
those that volunteer and promote volunteerism for its discounts if you feel the
need to give away cheap bikes.
SELL SELL SELL you are worth it.

P.S. I love selling classes, it is a great way to find inspired volunteers.
Adult students can become Mechanics, educators, promoters, lawyers, mentors,
shippers, government liaisons, and more than you can even dream of. SELL
Classes
