Comdpa your first reply is very insightful IMO. Good Post.

I think you might be on the very opticmistic side for a starting instructor and initial income. Of course this depends on who you are associated with and connected too.

Hi Martee!

Thank you for your gracious words.

Yes, I agree with you that it may be a bit optimistic even with my referencing a fairly established guy.

At least I know I did not start out with "not enough hours in the day to teach"! Haha. But I also did not remain there...and I think that is what I want to encourage budding instructors here with.

Further, once you get an "orgasmic" student, chances are high that he will introduce his friends to get a "fix". Well, at least referrals are one of the main ways that I get my business.
