Why Most Guitar Teachers Struggle To Succeed

Only a small handful of guitar teachers are great at what they do. Most of them earn little money each year and don’t produce great students.

Despite this fact, it’s actually not too hard to make 6-figures a year teaching on only part time hours.

Question: “Tom Hess, if doing this is so easy, why doesn’t every teacher do it?”

Answer: The majority of guitar teachers either aren’t aware of or choose not to do the simple things that make huge results possible.

The following are three main reasons why the majority of guitar teachers have a hard time becoming successful and how to learn from their mistakes:

Reason #1: The majority of guitar teachers don’t know how to run a business. They only focus on the everyday aspects of teaching while neglecting to:

• Create strategies for attracting students all year long.
• Putting together lessons policies that run your business smoothly while helping you focus your attention on giving greater value to your students.
• Improving their teaching skills in order to offer the greatest possible value for their students and become the best teacher in town.

Note: Your guitar teaching skills won’t improve when you simply keep teaching for a long time. You get better by working with an experienced teacher trainer to hone your skills. This is the approach successful teachers take. This helps them dominate the competition locally and make a great living.

Reason #2: A lot of guitar teachers don’t have the motivation to achieve great success. They just teach to avoid having to get a normal job. They see teaching guitar as a way to make a living versus a gateway to incredible wealth.

Here’s your lesson: The way you think determines the level of success you achieve. You need great ambition to achieve great things.

Reason #3: Most guitar teachers don’t have any great students. They are content to have average students who get mediocre results from their guitar lessons. This attitude creates a lose-lose situation. Your guitar students fail to reach their musical goals fully and you struggle to earn as much money as you can and should be earning.

Here’s your lesson: to truly succeed at teaching guitar, you need to have high ambitions and not settle for mediocrity. Your mindset is the key factor in how big or how little results you get in every aspect of your guitar teaching business.
