Guitar Teaching Tip: Make Money By Rejecting Guitar Students

You might be shocked by the headline of this section! But, although the idea of rejecting guitar students seems to be counter intuitive to making money as a guitar teacher…

…The truth is, rejecting some guitar students can actually help you to earn more money teaching guitar.
So, how is this you ask?

As a guitar teacher you will inevitably come across students who are simply not dedicated to practicing guitar, constantly pay late/show up late to lessons, or have a very negative attitude toward you or your students.

In these cases, it is to your benefit to reject these students rather than allow them to drain your energy (which affects your efforts with other SERIOUS students).

Doing this will help you feel better about giving lessons in general, and as a result will help you to make more money teaching guitar.
