Your CPR instructor training and business growth partner

“Ever feel like your’re figuring this out on your own? I know I did.”

When I became a CPR instructor in 2000, I had no idea how tough it would be. For years, I struggled part-time, juggling other jobs and trying to get students in the door. Later, as we grew, the challenges just changed—we wasted time and money on marketing that didn’t work, inefficient processes, and much more; yep, we learned many lessons the hard way.

But here’s the thing: we figured it out and systematized our business. The results? In 10 years, we went from a few thousand dollars annually to $2.3M annually and sold the company in 2022. And while I made plenty of mistakes along the way, I gained something even more valuable: the experience required to help other instructors avoid the same struggles and set themselves up for success in business and in life.

If you feel like you’re spinning your wheels—searching for students, wasting time and money on ineffective processes, feeling stuck, or overwhelmed by the business side—let’s change that. If you have most of it figured out but are ready to take your business to the next level (or even exit it), I’ve been where you are and can show you the way forward.

Think about where you and your business are today and where you could be next year with a little personal guidance (from me) and support for an online community of instructors. Let’s work together to make 2025 the year when your #bestcprinstructorlife emerges! 🎉🌟

Growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it flourishes in a community.

The CPR Instructor Circle™ is vastly different from an online CPR instructor FB and LI group. It is a positive, and private community designed to help CPR instructors grow personally, professionally, and in their business.

Monthly themes provide focus to our activities. For example, 🌅 Jumpstart January – Goals & Growth Game Plan focuses on setting and executing on our growth goals for 2025.

Weekly activities provide support, feedback, and accountability. On Monday we hold a live online session focused on weekly goal setting and Q&A. On Wednesday evening our Founder, Shannon Miller, hosts Office Hours where members can ask for advice and feedback while benefitting from his 25+ years of experience in the industry.
