Question: Where do you go for advice when thinking about starting or building a drum teaching business?

Many of us turn to our partner, Mum, Dad, friend or someone else close to us for all of our advice. That might include relationship advice, business advice, which football team to place a bet on at the weekend (that should be Liverpool FC of course!) and anything else that we want help with. And that listening ear will give you their perspective on that subject.

Assuming you love and trust that person we can accept that their advice will come from a place of love. Sometimes they might have a hidden agenda but usually they will simply give you the advice that they think is best for you.

Amazing!

However, that person is quite likely not the person who has the necessary life experience to best guide you on every aspect of our life. Further more, they are not impartial. They are too close to you so they are also trying to wrap you up in cotton wool and save you from potential danger. 

From an evolutionary point of view that is a useful reaction. Our mum’s will persuade us not to take unnecessary risks because they don’t want you to be eaten by a saber-tooth tiger. Thanks Mum X

But in the 21st Century that risk is low. Actually we are very safe and we sometimes need a friend, mentor or advisor to push us to take more risks.

But of course, we ned a plan, a system and knowledge to take measured, calculated risks that have a higher chance of success than failure. But the fact is that are mother is often sub-consciously motivated to keep us in a safe place rather than persuade us to step outside of that comfort zone.  Your wife, husband, partner might also act on the same motivations.

The end result of that is that we might end up very unhappy. Often the thing that would make us really happy does involve an amount of bravery. It does involve us to step off that safety ledge and into the unknown.

Starting a drum teaching business might well be that unknown area for you. You might have never run a business before, had to go out and find students, take care of your finances and all the other little nuts and bolts involved.

So that unknown can feel scary.

But really it is not that scary. You just need a plan and a system so you can follow a well trodden path to create a success (you can get that plan below so keep reading). Oh, and a lot of hard work to make it become real!

So what you really need right now is someone that can empower you with the right mindset so you can believe in yourself enough to get off that safety ledge and start working towards your dream life doing something that you love.

And if that thing involves drumming and you want to become a drum teacher then that is what you should do. If you want to know more about how you can get the right mindset and feel empowered enough to start working towards teaching drums just watch the video below.
