At the start of a career, a dance teacher needs to spend more time working with people, working on communication skills, studying marketing and PR and other areas related to business development. It takes quite a lot of time and effort. Little money comes in at first.
But time will rise in price in proportion to the growth of experience and the number of results achieved. But this source will easily dry up if one truth is not understood.
If you take from the world and give nothing in return, the result will be zero.
If you want to earn more year after year, the main question should not be “where to get it” or “how much to raise prices?”, But “what can I give away and what can I do useful?”. Only this approach will increase earnings. And not partially, but multiple times.
Do you want to earn a lot? Give a lot
This rule applies to every field. The richest people in the world give 10% of their income to charity, invest in science and medicine or other similar things. They understand that by giving to the world, they will receive again from the world.
Giving 10%, in the long run you get not +10%. You get *10%!
In the case of dance teaching, you should first sacrifice your time for students, colleagues, partners, mentors, employers. This donation will not go unnoticed. As a result, you will have new students, colleagues will respect you, many useful partners will appear, and the employer will promote you.
As for the mentor, if he sees that you are ready to sacrifice such a valuable resource as time, he will reciprocate. A mentor can make you a co-owner of your own business, share the secrets of your success that you can repeat.
On practice
You spend on good deeds, say, two hours a day. You don't get paid for your work. So you work six months, five days a week, work with full dedication. All for the sake of students and mentor.
As a result, students achieve excellent results, you show your best side. You gave to the Universe several tens of hours. Gave time instead of money. New students begin to come to you on the recommendations, the results are increasing, your image is growing. Now you can increase the prices for classes and it will be justified. The mentor makes you an offer for a joint, equal conduct of affairs.
Such growth gives you an annual profit of several tens of thousands of dollars a year.
Mathematically
You spent 60 hours of personal time, received a wealth of 450,000 dollars / year. Now let's divide 450,000 by 60 (income/time spent). Can you say that during the six months you invested, your hour was worth $7,500? Of course we can!
Efforts were not in vain, you more than blocked the time spent!
This law of the universe works flawlessly. And the result comes quickly enough if you do not go off the right path. Remember, in order to take a lot from the world, you must first give a lot. That is, to do something useful.
How to explain this law
Think of it as a kind of universal balance. It is constantly maintained and works flawlessly. And the law has many names: "god", "luck", "karma".
When you don't have a monetary income from teaching, you can invest your time. If there is no free time, but you want to earn more, think about what other resource you can donate.
Share what you have! All the multimillionaires of the world understand this law. Therefore, the rich get richer, while the poor remain in poverty and barely make ends meet. Think like a millionaire, give to the world, and the world will not be indebted to you.
