Where do you learn?

Tuesday's are for REAL TALK

We have strategy meetings to discuss successes, failures, and opportunities a lot. One thing that has been on my mind is about trying to understand those we seek to serve better.

I/ we have taken a mission upon ourselves to provide useful and powerful education and instruction to restoration specialists. We create forums across many channels and mediums, like this one. We use the community to speak and listen for pain points and roadblocks.

We then in turn gather to explore solutions that we may have experience or expertise in. We then create models or larger programs for those.

We started making online courses during the Pandemic when in-person education was hindered. Like everything, we started, stumbled through learning, and had growing success after many reiterations.

We now have 4 courses that are available for individuals or teams to purchase and consume. These also generally make up a few areas of coaching and mentoring we offer. Our Client On-Boarding and 60 Days to Build a Strong Restoration company have been bought almost 1000 times.

While many people are busy and silent, a good number of students have reached out telling us about strong results and outcomes.

While we call these efforts a success, I am still perplexed by so many conversations with people I know and trust who struggle with these very issues. So this causes me to ask these questions. What causes someone (I am guilty to some degree) to ignore help and a proven solution? I am not saying we solve every problem, but these courses are a very simple start and easily consumed.

1. Is there only a portion of our market that will consume education via an online course?
2. Is it just visibility? Meaning the marketing world makes it difficult and some just haven't seen them?
3. Is this a trust issue? "How do I know this will work for me and my issue?"

All are great reasons but they only drive me to talk more about them. You see, for me, my team, and most real educators, the results are the reward. Sure we have to have profit and revenue to grow. But we don't talk about or celebrate that.

We high-five when someone says they are onboarding a customer and are paid in full, with their client's support, and obtained a 5-star review.

Or when we are at a conference or anywhere and someone walks up to tell us they opened their business 2 years ago, bought and deployed our 60-Day course, and are having great results. We saved them countless hours and huge sums of money on figuring things out alone.

I get it. There is no shortage of people peddling junk and huge wild promises. We know. We get the calls before and after these Zing Wow claims are believed. But those are not us and we do not compete with that. All this to ask for a little clarity or input from ANYONE of you that might help me/ us do better and achieve our goal to help more people so you can help more people. Did you know we had courses? As an alternative to purchasing a course outright, we found that community and accountability are a huge part of success, so we have built a robust Academy. RBA- Restoration Business Academy. Our courses are available to members here with the added community or access to us to help implement. I invite your feedback or consider checking the community out. With over 200 members, we are certain that 600 over the next year is more than achievable.

Join the free part today or pick a tier that gives more access that works for you. This was far less a sales pitch than it was a feedback look.
