I wanted to put this out there because I want everyone to feel comfortable posting and asking questions inside this community. This isn't just a place to watch trainings and learn business systems. It's a place for baseball and softball instructors to help each other get better. And that doesn't always have to be about business! Here are a few things I'd love to see you guys sharing: - Your wins: Booked a new student? Had a great lesson? Helped an athlete make a breakthrough? Share it! - Your struggles: Having trouble getting students, creating content, or keeping your schedule full? Ask for help. - Coaching questions: Need a good drill for a hitter who's struggling with timing? Looking for pitching or fielding ideas? Ask the group. - Resources: Looking for a video editor, a booking app, equipment recommendations, or another useful tool? Someone here might know. - Your content: Shot a new Reel or created a post? Share it and ask for feedback. - Things you've learned: Found something that works well with your athletes or lesson business? Pass it along. And don't feel like you need to have some perfectly written post. A simple question is more than enough. Something like: "Hey, does anyone have a good drill for hitters who keep rolling over?" Or: "I'm trying to post more content but don't know what to film. Any ideas?" That's exactly the kind of stuff I want happening in here. I've learned so much over the years just from being around other coaches and business owners who are willing to share what they know. That's the kind of community I want us to build. The more we share, ask questions, and help each other, the more valuable this place becomes for everyone. Here's how to get involved: 1. Click Write something at the top of the Community tab. 2. Share a question, win, struggle, video, or resource. 3. Pick the category that fits best and hit Post. 4. When you see someone else's post, jump in if you have something helpful to share. You don't need to be an expert at everything to contribute.

I wanted to share this quick podcast from Alex Hormozi because he talks about something I literally ask myself all the time when working through business decisions. "What would it take?" I love this question. Instead of saying, "I want more lesson students," ask yourself: "What would it take for me to consistently book 6 lessons a week?" Now you actually have to think through it. Do I need more content? Do I need to follow up with old clients? Do I need a better offer? Do I need to reach out to more parents? Once you figure out what it would take, you can decide whether you're willing to do the work. The other question I use constantly, especially when talking with instructors, is: "What problem am I actually trying to solve?" This one is huge. It's easy to get distracted by things like building a new website, buying another camera, changing your logo, or trying some new software. But what problem is that actually solving? And more importantly, will solving that problem help you get more students, make more lesson income, or run your business better? If not, maybe it's not what you should be spending your time on right now. I've learned to keep things as simple as possible when making business decisions. You don't have to fix everything at once. Figure out the problem. Ask what it would take to solve it. Decide if it's worth doing. Then take action. Alex also talks about figuring out what you actually want to happen, which ties everything together. Here's the podcast. It's only about 11 minutes: Listen: The Game with Alex Hormozi After listening, think about your own lesson business. What's ONE problem you're trying to solve right now, and what would it take to fix it? Drop it in the comments. I'd love to help you think through it.

Something I caught myself doing this week while talking with a few instructors. I was trying to help them with too many things at once. Their offers, websites, Instagram bios, content, filming, follow-up, pricing… you name it. I’ve spent years figuring this stuff out at our facility, so naturally I want to share everything I’ve learned. But I realized something. Just because I know ten things that could help someone doesn’t mean they need all ten right now. One instructor I talked to needed help coming up with content ideas and actually getting them filmed. Another already had a busy coaching schedule and just needed an easier way to capture content during his lessons. Two completely different situations. And giving both of them a giant list of things to work on probably would have made things worse. That was my reminder this week: Focus on the ONE thing that will make the biggest difference right now. And the same goes for your lesson business. Maybe you want to build a website, improve your Instagram, create more content, get more students, and organize your follow-up. All good things. But you don’t have to fix everything this week. Sometimes the biggest win is simply: - Following up with three parents who asked about lessons. - Blocking 30 minutes to come up with content ideas. - Reaching out to five former students. - Getting your next lesson booked before a family leaves. - Small actions that actually move the business forward. Here’s my challenge for you this week: Before Monday gets going, pick ONE thing you know needs attention in your lesson business. Something you can realistically knock out in the next 24–48 hours. Get that done first. Then worry about the next thing. What’s the ONE thing you’re going to knock out this week? Drop it below. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

I’m putting together the next few trainings and want to hear where you need the most help in your lesson business. Pick the ONE that would help you most right now: After you vote, drop a specific question or situation in the comments. What’s the part you keep getting stuck on? Something missing? Tell me below.
