Titled "Want to be a college planner? New to Educational Consulting? Avoid the 'Backwards Field of Dreams'," the video is hosted by CounselMore.
In three minutes and twenty-one seconds she describes most every college planning practice. The video emphasizes the importance of building a resilient, transferable, and scalable college guidance process in educational consulting.
It critiques the common approach of acquiring clients first and then figuring out services, terming it as the "Backwards Field of Dreams."
Instead, the video advocates for a business-centric approach that focuses on creating a repeatable process. This ensures that the business can run smoothly even in the absence of the owner, unlike businesses where all processes and expertise are locked in the owner's head.
The speaker, Pam Shor, underscores that your job isn't just about getting a student from point A to point B; it's about developing a process that can be repeated.
She shares her experience of taking over a business from a 20-year veteran in educational advising, highlighting the pitfalls of not having a structured, repeatable process.
