"I really need help figuring out how to get more students and I don't know where I'm going wrong."
|
When Shauna and I first launched our studio, we had NO IDEA what we were doing.
I KNEW how to teach. I had 70 private students I was teaching through various churches around town follow me to my studio when I branched out on my own in 2014. I was REALLY good at keeping students and they were happy to refer their friends to me. But when I hired other teachers and NEEDED to grow? Word of mouth wasn't good enough and I had more bills and responsibilities that relied on growth. Shauna and I needed help, but all of our money was tied up into adopting our son. (Who unexpectedly joined our lives 6 months after we opened our studio!) |
A business coach I followed announced she was offering a scholarship for her program. I messaged her saying,
"PLEASE let me apply! I really need help figuring out how to get more students and I don't know where I'm going wrong."
Though I didn't end up getting the scholarship, I am forever grateful for the unsolicited advice and help that business coach gave me through our chat on FB messenger. I was able to get a head start on marketing with her help, and she steered me in the right direction of learning the ins and outs of growing and simplifying my studio.
We talk about it a lot, but Shauna and I both grew up in less privileged homes.
Shauna desperately wanted to take ballet and dance but was never able to because of finances.
I really wanted guitar lessons as a kid, but I had to learn on my own and get the rest of my musical education through the college I wracked up 6 figures of student loan debt to pay for.
If we can help YOU, but money is the only thing standing in the way, we won't have it!
