I had an initial consultation call scheduled this morning with a small dance studio that’s been struggling for the last couple of years to grow their student enrollment. According to her, over the last year they hired a business consultant that apparently hasn’t solved their problems. That’s more money and time down the hole and lost forever.
But, I understand. I really do.
You’re probably getting bombarded with all kinds of advice all of the time. Your students, their parents, your family members and friends . . . they all want you to succeed. They probably all have all kinds of ideas that they think will help you out, and they’re not afraid to share it with you.
As dance studio owners we’ve got to accept the fact that, while these people probably genuinely have our best interest at hear, THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT.
You don’t need more ideas. You need proven strategies.
Then there are the self-proclaimed business consultants and studio gurus out there that are willing to take your money to teach you some techniques, but they’ve never really built what you’re trying to build. They absolutely can’t give you the level of technical expertise that you need to double your enrollment, or to get your studio to $10k or $20k per month.
“You don’t need more ideas. You need proven strategies.”
It’s not that they’re being dishonest. They just don’t know what they don’t know. Does that make sense?
Over the years I’ve gotten pretty good at nodding and smiling and politely thanking people for showing that they care, and then confidently going on with what I know is right. Don’t insult these people. Don’t shut them down. JUST DON’T FOLLOW THEIR ADVICE!
If you are going to succeed you should follow proven strategies that are working in all different kinds of markets in all different locations. Before you try to re-invent the wheel all by yourself, you can simply cut years off of your learning curve and copy what’s already working in your market.
I’d like to apply for that job. There are hundreds of dance studio currently following the strategies that I teach, and that I apply in my own programs. They’re easier than you think to get up and running.
