In the world of business, experience is often the best teacher. When you take on new challenges, whether it's hosting a free event or launching a new product, you learn valuable lessons along the way. In this podcast, we'll delve into six key takeaways from my personal experience launching products/events. These takeaways are not only applicable to those in the music education industry but also to anyone looking to grow their business effectively.

The Power of Energy

The first takeaway is all about energy – specifically, the energy I put into events. The excitement and energy levels tend to fluctuate during the different phases of launching a new project. Initially, the creative process fills me with enthusiasm, but as the time comes to promote or sell it, I find myself feeling negative or disheartened. I encourage you to examine your own energy when promoting new ideas or products. I want to emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive mindset throughout the entire process.

Don't Give Up Easily

The second takeaway is a reminder not to give up after just one attempt. With Piano Practice Lab I've hosted three times. After the first event, only one person joined. I could have easily given up. However, we need to be persistent. Real growth and success often require multiple attempts, learning from each one and refining your approach. Instead of quitting, ask yourself what can be improved and try again.

Communicate Value

The third takeaway revolves around effectively communicating the value of your offerings to your customers. I advise against simply listing features or what you believe is essential. Instead, put yourself in your customers' shoes and explain how your product or service benefits them. Help them see why it's valuable and how it can address their needs or problems. By focusing on the customer's perspective, you'll be more convincing and engaging.

Be Convicted

Belief in what you're promoting is crucial. My fourth takeaway emphasizes the importance of conviction. If you don't genuinely believe in your product or service, it will be challenging to convey its value to others. Your energy and enthusiasm should reflect your strong belief in what you're offering. Conviction can be a powerful tool in sales and marketing.

Implement Repeatable Systems

My fifth takeaway introduces the concept of repeatable systems. I want to highlight the benefits of creating organized and repeatable processes for promoting and running events or products. By doing so, you save time and effort in the long run, as you won't have to reinvent the wheel each time. Having a structured system in place streamlines your business operations and ensures consistency.

Capture Data

The final takeaway emphasizes the value of data. I encourage businesses to capture data, such as customer behavior, engagement rates, and feedback. By analyzing this information, you gain valuable insights that can inform your decision-making and strategy. It helps you make informed choices based on facts rather than emotions, ultimately leading to better outcomes.

Hosting a free event like Piano Practice Lab has provided me with valuable business insights. These six takeaways – focusing on energy, perseverance, effective communication, conviction, repeatable systems, and data capture – can benefit any business owner looking to grow and succeed. By applying these lessons, you can navigate challenges and make informed decisions that drive your business forward.
