Syntheszier Scaling is life changing.
Syntheszier Scaling is life changing. I broke a limiting belief and earned $4K in 10 days selling 6 week piano transormations to 4 clients. That’s literally 1 month after joining with zero sales experience. As a result of joining the cohort I’ve sold more than $15k in piano coaching. I’m no more broke musician 🎉 Since joining Scaling my peaks are higher and my lows are shorter. The community is fantastic, it’s super helpful to learn from inspiring Scalers like Greg Garrett and Giselle Baumet. It feels great to earn more money and help more people. Insanely grateful for Andrew Kirby and Aidan LaBreche

Video review of Synthesizer Scaling
Hello there, I'm Luke, the wizard at school, where I'm running the game, which has around 800 members at the moment, and today I actually closed my biggest deal ever. So this is 12k over the next three months, plus commissions, and this is only possible through synthesizer scaling. But that is not the reason why I joined Synthesizer, because it's all about the mission and the purpose to help educators grow, scale, and ultimately help more people. Because by earning more, we are actually able to help more people. Because we can hire more people, we can get better tools, and we are ultimately able to give back the things that we have learned and ultimately prepare the next generation for the future. And that is exactly what Synthesizer scaling is helping with as well. As a member, it feels like being a pro athlete in the game of business and being surrounded by all of these other athletes that are absolutely crushing it in their industry. And we're all learning from one another. And if one person is figuring out something, then it's like we're all figuring this out. And that is why we can all grow and scale together faster, because we don't have to rely on our own information. We can rely on the information of one another and learning from the best in the industry. If you've already solved a valuable problem, then scaling can help you multiply that. But if you're just getting started and you're at zero, then whatever we multiply by zero is still going to be zero. So as long as you have something valuable, like an audience or you know how to sell, or you've done some coaching and you actually got people the results, then scaling can help you get to 10k and even to 100k if you find the right operator. And that is someone that you can also find in scaling. And that's why I love this community so much because it keeps solving the next problem and it will continue doing that. So that's why I love being part of the people who are already crushing it and learning the most effective tactics available, which is kind of like the meta of the game.

The skool CLASSIFIEDS helps you win!
Hey, everybody. My name is Matt and I have been a member of the Classifieds now for almost six months, I believe, and it has been awesome. Shannon has cultivated a really cool culture here and everybody is just going around and obviously sharing and promoting, but also reacting to and using it as a vehicle for discovering new communities. So it's been a really, really awesome space to be in and yeah, I'm definitely happy that I joined. So being a member has been really cool because I am able to obviously learn firsthand about all sorts of incredible communities, but as a premium member, I can also go around and promote my community and even do masterclasses inside, which has been really awesome. I've learned a lot from the people who are doing masterclasses. And because you need to think about how to kind of pitch and promote what you're working on, it is also a forcing function, just being there and seeing what's working well for other community builders and how they're going about posting things. And then of course, getting shout outs from other members has been really fun. So other members are using their daily allotment of posting ability to actually even shout me out, which has just inspired me to shout them out. And it's like a really cool reciprocal sort of thing. So I'm really been enjoying being a member in that regard as well. So, if you need practice pitching or promoting or just generally learning how to better share the value of your offer, the Classifieds is a really awesome place to be because you can go and do so and try all sorts of different things all the time. So, it's really special to go and have an environment that welcomes you in doing that, but also you get to see tons of other people going about doing it. So, if you really want to go and grow in that way, I would say that's going to be a good fit. If it wouldn't be a good fit, it's probably going to be people who just want to promote and don't actively want to engage or be a part of the community in any way. If you're just looking to kind of like spit out all your stuff and go and leave, then that's not great. But, you know, if you want to become part of the community, if you want to eventually do a masterclass, you know, you want to contribute and comment there, I think the Classifieds is a great place to be for those kinds of folks. So, for all those of you who fit in that bill, we'll see you inside.
