218: 3 Steps to Expanding your Music Studio Online!

What does it mean to scale beyond sessions? It means that you’re doing something in your business that allows you to accomplish the goal of not only making money when you're working one on one privately with your students! I’m throwing the links that I mention in the podcast right here… Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaimeslutzky/ Book a Call: https://callwithjaime.com Online Music Course Accelerator: https://onlinemusiccourseaccelerator.com Join the Expand Online Email List: https://expandonlinenow.com Here are the three steps that you need in order to scale beyond sessions… Step 1 is to decide! Making the decision to scale beyond sessions is the way that you're going to open the door and figure out how you are going to scale beyond sessions. There is so much power in saying yes! Saying yes to this idea and giving yourself permission to explore what it would look like for yourself in your life and in your business. What is keeping you from scaling beyond sessions? What is holding you back from making the decision to move forward? Nobody is going to judge you…. They aren’t going to say that you’re not as good a music teacher as they thought because you don't offer private lessons all the time, or that you have diluted your business. In fact, it's really the opposite. When you add other ways for people to learn with and from you in an online space, you are actually creating more opportunity. You are taking your one on one sessions and elevating their status within your business because those are your top end product and all these other things that you're adding in can potentially be extremely profitable for you and extremely affordable and accessible to the audience who is going to receive them. You can't get there without deciding. If you’re thinking “I can't do this” or “I can't commit to this because I don't know x or y or z” a quick reminder for you – it’s all figure-out-able! There are a lot of people with the bits and pieces that you will be able to cobble together. You can do plenty of research on google or on youtube; you can hire a coach or consultant; you can take a course… There are a number of ways to go ahead and really truly scale, you just have to decide that you are going to invest in yourself. You can be successful when you are all in! If you don't say Yes 100% when you make the decision, then you're gonna give yourself out and you're going to take the shortcuts or you're going to stop. But when you decide and you're all in, you will be successful! Step two is to trust yourself. Trust that you are the right person to bring something new to market. You are the right person to teach what you do in a new online manner. There is no one right way to create an online product. You already excel at teaching. You already know what you're really good at and who you connect with and how you are able to help them accomplish whatever it is that they are working on. Now is the time for you to trust yourself. Trusting yourself is easier said than done. We can often sabotage ourselves. We can often diminish our value. We can often sidetrack ourselves. We can do all of those things to derail our progress. We made the decision to move beyond sessions. We trust ourselves that we can do it and that we have the tools that we have, the resources that we have, the capacity to do it. Be careful of self doubt, it can absolutely stop you in your tracks. Don't doubt yourself too much… push through and trust that you are going to bring the right product to market in the right way. Step 3 is to create deadlines. I believe that the best way to have a product come to market is to set a realistic timeline and to give yourself rewards for meeting those deadlines. Instead of merely saying “I want to create a course.” tell yourself instead “I want to create a course and pre launch it on X date, launch it fully on y date and have this many enrollments on Z date!” That becomes tangible. And then reward yourself when you reach each milestone. Deadlines are not just those three things… everything in the process can have a deadline or a metric to work towards. You can do this. You can scale beyond sessions. I believe in you. Let's make this happen. When I say it's all a matter of deciding and trusting yourself and setting deadlines. I didn't talk about any of the hard work, Right? But these are the three things that you can keep coming back to time and time again, so that you actually accomplished the goal of whatever it is that you are creating, whatever you see and that vision that you have for yourself of how to get away from only offering sessions and doing something new online. Decide, trust yourself and set yourself deadlines. Now, the truth is, these are all well and good but external accountability and external decision making is almost as important. It is a lot easier to move beyond sessions when you have somebody outside of your business who is helping you along in the process.
