Time To Do Something Different...
Here YOU are reading up about a seminal biz course for Alexander Teachers built by me - Jeremy Chance - exclusively for Alexscovery teachers. After the COVID hit, I had to spin on a dime and figure out a new model for my school before Trainees started leaving. Tommy Thompson was due to come to Japan - instead, I asked him to teach online.
"I've never done that before," Tommy said, "I am not sure how it will go."
Of course, it went well, and now I have a wide selection of videos of BodyChance Directors using Zoom to teach - and it's almost old hat now.
However, nothing free here. So you might be thinking:
Is it right to think about spending money now?
First off, I have slashed the cost of this course by half.
And if you're in real trouble, ask me again. I am including a special session with me once you've entered the course. You could always drop that for an extra discount. I don't recommend it though. Your session with me will be about making a plan for your future, based on the ideas you have generated from doing the online course.
As a further support - there's an exclusive (hidden) Facebook group full of over 100 Alexscovery teachers to talk to along the way. These are all teachers who have completed my courses in some form or another.
Two of these ATSuccess Graduates went on to create the most successful online business in the world today. There are many other ATS success stories (see below) - Alexscovery teachers who did the course and went on to prosper. And there are failures too. People who tried and could not get it to work. So no guarantees - but what else can you do?
There's lots of free stuff out there, and they all want to sell you something in the end. I don't have time to do all that promotion. If it isn't good enough for you now, that's fine. I don't care.
When you join, I do care. I want to see you succeed.
READ ON - here's more about the course, and a rich (and free) email webinar available if you're not ready to purchase yet. Links are below.
What is the Course for?
This course will show you how to communicate and attract students.
The main focus is communicating Alexander's Discovery so you can gather students for your workshops and lessons.
The processes of teaching and marketing are actually the same. With teaching, you know who is there; with marketing, you don't.
In both cases, you must invite a person into a new way of thinking and moving.
That is why I believe in 'markeaching' --> both educating and attracting people at the same time!
Just search the term 'markeaching' at my blog on this website to go deeper into understanding how that works.
If you really are self-driven, there's enough in my blog to inspire you. But it isn't organised in the way I have done in the course.
How is the Course Structured?
The content of the course is available is a series of videos and worksheets that you can go through at your own pace - they are designed on the 12 Steps that progressively build the components you need for a successful practice. There is no simple answer. Success comes from building something while appreciating the holistic nature of the task. My course is infused with Alexander's Discovery and Method.
You have plenty of time to view and review the content, ask questions in the exclusive Facebook group; and try out new ways of communicating the work. Meet many business-orientated teachers in your ATSuccess community. We are all struggling during this crisis, same as you. ATSuccess members are usually teachers who don't have a choice - they MUST make their living out of teaching, or get another job.
There is something about fear that can drive you towards doing wonderful things. Weird, but that is how we are designed by Nature. Fear motivates survival, it's often the most powerful driver of success.

As I mentioned above, I also wrote a Daily seminar series which is rich in content - a course all by itself. If you're not ready to spend money, this is an option too. It's an email every day - sign up for it here:

Below is a summary of each session. You can go quicker or slower to suit your self, however, it is beneficial for implementation and action when you keep a regular and consistent pace.
1 - YOUR PASSION
This session involves clarifying what you love doing, and how that could be used as the basis of your business. There are two sides to this exploration - what inspires you and what implodes you? Setting your motivation, and being clear on what drives you, forms an important foundation for all the explorations that follow.
2 - YOUR STORY
In this session, you learn to tell your story. Students have so many "techniques" and methods available to them today. Why would they choose yours? In fact, who you are is as important to them as what you do. What are your unique qualities? And how that can be used to attract people to your work? Articulating your personal vision is a way to establish empathy and gain trust.
3 - YOUR NICHE
Finding the community where you will share Alexander's work is the key to building a long-term sustainable practice. In this week you will discover that your "niche" could be built around an activity (e.g. performing) or a problem (e.g. stage fright) or an avatar (e.g. ageing professional woman). Having all three is the most powerful, although not always possible for every teacher. In this week, Jeremy explores your own personal recipe for your practice.
4 - YOUR SERVICE
What is your "Alexander Service" going to be about? Once you know who your audience is, you then need to craft a service that closely matches their needs. What are the three main things that keep them awake at night? How can you help with that? We explore your Business Name, your Unique Service Proposition and how these will attract students to you.
5 - YOUR PRODUCT
People can love your service, hate your product. Your "Product" is established by all these details: when, where, how long, themes, cost, dates, times etc. People lead busy lives, so you need to craft a Product that matches their needs. In ATSuccess, we also want you to start selling something immediately, so we figure out what could you sell IMMEDIATELY to start some cash flowing.
6 - YOUR LIST
Now we take the training wheels off and start moving your new business into reality if you're ready. Not everyone is up for moving so quickly, so expect to begin figuring out your own timetable now. This timetable - which can all be done during this course if you have the will for it - involves starting your list, getting an email distributor, making a Facebook Page and throwing up some new pages about you and your Product on the web. None of this is hard, and there will be some guidance on how you get this important technical job done.
7 - NEXT STEPS -> BONUS VIDEOS
Alexander is industrial. The Foundations course shows you the way ahead. In this section, there are several bonus videos on different topics. You will also be invited to join the ATSuccess MasterMind community to continue to gain encouragement and skill building with other teachers doing the same. There are several courses in the MasterMind Library to access with a monthly subscription.

Course Format

The format of the course will be a combination of content videos, worksheets and a live coaching session with Jeremy.
The aim of the your coaching session is to organise an action plan, not deliver content. Therefore, it is better to hold it after you have absorbed the course. Our session aim is to clarify how to apply the content to build your own unique business.

As I began ATSuccess Foundations Course I also started my last year of AT training.
I was on the fence about ATS Foundations because my schedule is tight & I didn’t think I had the time.
But the cost seemed reasonable & my one to one session with Peter tipped the scales.
That complimentary session shifted my thinking. It was like I got new glasses or something & could see new possibilities for integrating AT with what I really want to do.
Now, after having finished the course, I discovered, surprise surprise, I had the time all along.
And ATS Foundation provided the fuel to go farther than expected.
I now have a plan for my business even before I graduate.
Thank you to Jeremy & Company for helping me travel to a spot I would have never discovered on my own.

I received very many gifts from ATSuccess village. I used to have no time to really think about other people. I loved my own dream world and was happy enough if I could hang around with similar kind of friends.
Once I decided to create money, I needed to think about niche and avatar. Which means I needed to use my imagination to think about various kinds of people's joy and sorrow. When I try to understand people's general basic need, I felt some real and warm sensation towards them. And then, I could really resonate with them.
I am now beginning to enjoy this kind of mature empathy in much wider sense than how I used to be. Therefore, I have the prospect that I will have warmer budget and warmer heart at the same time in the process of learning how to create money.

I gained insights into the needs of those to whom I might be pitching for work - not perhaps what I had initially thought. I will be able to take forward the great games and ways of explaining the principles to use in my next workshop in 2 weeks’ time. Overall, I gained more clarity about where I might focus my attention on working.

Whether to do group teaching as a regular format was not an issue for me as I have been doing it for many years. However, whilst I was somewhat resistant to introducing ‘gamey’ ideas, it clearly became evident that there is a usefulness for this in shifting the energy in the group as well as using these ‘games’ to illustrate Alexander’s discoveries in a more accessible way. I have already used this now with success and will explore further.

Before I joined ATSuccess, I had a steady practice but nothing seemed to help expanding it further, which I have been wanting to do. I was always aware I was at a disadvantage from not having a specific niche, but was not interested in traditional marketing. Using ATSuccess resources, I discovered everyone could find a specific niche if they looked for it. I also discovered Education Based Marketing that seemed more in line with who I am. Today I have chosen a niche and have focused on it for a little over 6 months. I have had lots of positive results which makes me feel I am building something concrete that will have its blooming days.

My income is growing steadily by working in this way, and so has my joy in teaching. Perhaps the biggest transformation I've experienced in working with Jeremy has been to realize the huge benefit in niche-marketing the unique gifts that I have to offer, which feeds my soul in ways I never could have expected. Building a business oriented primarily to musicians took a huge leap of faith for me, but once I stopped hesitating, I haven't looked back once. I am incredibly grateful for the support Jeremy offers me in creating my own dream profession - it has made everything both easier and more exciting!"

You can have no idea how much your series has unblocked my process…All sorts of things are finally coming together with no effort on my part. It is organic as I allow it to happen. A large part of this is getting out of my own way - another very AT idea!!

During my training course one of the main concerns was, “what happens after graduation”? One of them Jeremey speaks to immediately which is that of those who finish training only 5% make a full time living out of this work. My course teachers directly addressed these issues as best as possible during my 3rd year of training. I felt confident I could make it work when I graduated.
However, it had been two years and as a single professional I was unable to focus on AT full time and had to work other jobs in order to make ends meet. My time was being torn away from my passions, I felt very helpless and depressed. I was very slowly working towards marketing myself to any population that would have me. With no capital I was struggling to create my own brand, website, business cards and find a way to have my own space etc.
One day at my job I had had enough and I missed my school, my teachers, my colleagues and working with the technique in any way. I randomly googled my two favorite things: which were soccer and the alexander technique. I saw a blog written by Jeremy Chance speaking about his 12 step program in relationship to soccer. I was immediately excited and interested and signed up for his emailing list. Jeremey offered his 12 steps for free each week in an email as a precursor to his other programs. After those 12 weeks I signed up for his 60 day AT Success program.
The 60 day program with Peter, Jeremey, and my fellow members has given back the hope that I had lost. I learned to focus my passion, create a niche, and research the population that I wanted to work with. I was always afraid of marketing and “selling myself” but I was given another view and Jeremey shared that it really is just another form of communication.
The support given and received in the AT Success program is another wonderful surprise that I had missed so dearly from my training course. It is lovely to be parts of the kind, non-judgement special group of people all supporting each other.
I have been given the beginning set of tools to create my own path, my own system, and I look forward to continuing that journey with AT Success year round. Thank you all for supporting me on my journey so far.
