Why your guitar teacher competitors will loose out.
There are basically 2 types of guitar teaching business start ups. Those who seek advice and those who do not.
1. Those who DO NOT seek advice which have the greatest chance of failure according to many studies. The reasons are both obvious and subtle. E.g. Not seeking advice may lead you to wasting valuable time and resources that could have been used elsewhere.
2. Those who DO seek advice (thats you by the way) dramatically increase their chances of success for precisely the opposite reason. E.g. Most new business owners (e.g. guitar teachers) waste time and money of advertising that does not work. Online ads are probably the best example. Seeking advice from experienced industry professionals will lead you to better decisions.
Why do so many fail to seek professional advice?
The answer is surprisingly simple. They don’t believe they need advice. According to a report report in SmartCompany only 26% of failed business owners identified failure to seek professional advice as a key reason for failure, while 70% trusted their “gut instinct” over any professional advice. According to SmartCompany the chief executive of Wolters Kluwer Asia-Pacific, Russell Evans, commented, “The majority of SMEs which shun professional advice were doing so at their peril.”
Practicing what we preach
Most people want to do it ‘their way’ even if their way is unproven and highly likely to fail. If you teach you have seen it many times. Students who teach themselves making all the classic mistakes yet won’t take or pay for advice from a professional teacher. Don’t be that student. Get professional advice even if you think you don’t need it. Its not worth the risk.
