The Unlikely Entrepreneur

The Law of Attraction in Action

I started my classical music teaching business because I wanted my own methods, my own materials, my own schedule, my own philosophy of teaching. So far the results have been staggeringly successful with one exception. The exception is, I sometimes can't give my services away!

I have people coming up to me all the time saying how much they want to take piano or voice lessons. Yet, somehow they never do it. I've been offered all kinds of advice (I guess I'm a nice person and people like to help me), and yet, nothing seems to work. Yet I know there are thousands of people who can benefit. Not just from the reduced stress, and brain/body/mind enhancements that learning to play an instrument or sing properly will give you, but there are all kinds of other benefits--as if being smarter, more successful, healthier, living longer, and being happier weren't already enough. Professor Paul Robertson says:

And there's another benefit to classical music that you won't find in country-western, rock, rap, or anything else. It's the law of attraction. Classical music is the focus of the highest musical achievements of mankind. If you believe in the law of attraction, what you put your energy into is what you get back. If you really want the best in life, why place your energies into a music culture of failure, or worse, death?

I've tried every sales technique in the book. Free trials, scarcity, cognitive dissonance, mirroring, you name it, I've done it. So what is the resistance to actually taking the plunge?

And so with the law of abundance in mind, I decided to start a bliki. This is where anyone who cares to can join the conversation about classical music. Whether it's marketing classical music, the music itself, (lessons, concerts or recordings), scholarly articles, original research, opinions, I want to invite you to join in-- if we love classical music, we need to let people know!

Because, after all, shouldn't your life be better than a country-western song?
