Notion is SO Helpful For Follow-ups
I finally got around to using Notion as my CRM (customer relationship management) and it's a game changer. Before Notion, I would use my iPhone calendar to create individual events for following up with all of my clients. It was not very easy to organize, but it helped me stay consistent enough to generate more lessons. However, it was inefficient and imperfect, and it allowed clients and lessons to fall through the cracks. With Notion, the interface is a lot easier to view, and it's way more organized. If I don't follow up with someone it no longer gets buried in my calendar, and I don't forget about it. It stays in the message today section, so if I fall behind on my follow-ups, it'll be a lot easier for me to catch back up. Today I already got 4 lessons added to my schedule for next week and potentially some more as I wait for responses!

Sunday Instructor Notes: Sometimes Less Is More
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.
