What is The Principal Success Path™ for?
At BLBS, we believe that “Everyone wins when YOU get better.”

Our mission is to “to connect, grow, and mentor every school leader who wants to level up.”

We do this through our flagship masterminds and The Principal Success Path™.

The Principal Success Path™ is different from the masterminds we offer because it is a sprint. In 10-weeks or less you will become a more effective leader.

The Principal Success Path™ follows a “curriculum” designed by Daniel Bauer where participants create 10 projects.

If you consider yourself a Ruckus Maker, you will LOVE this program. 
Who is The Principal Success Path™ for?

 Check out Wanda’s case study or John’s case study to read their experience.
Who is The Principal Success Path™ NOT for?
The Principal Success Path™ is NOT for leaders who are A-okay with “traditional” education.

We do not cover topics like standardized tests, discipline, and attendance.

The Principal Success Path™ is also not for people who care about certificates or grades.

This program is atypical.

No bureaucracy. No tests, grades, and other forms of evaluation.

Just results.
What is the curriculum of The Principal Success Path™ What are the 10 projects I will be working on?
The Principal Success Path™ is based on the 10 projects that participants will create individually and collaboratively.
The 10 projects focus on:

GOALS!
99 Ideas to Improve Your Culture
WHO not HOW
Leadership Boundaries
Design for Belonging
Ruckus Maker Mindset™
Leverage & Success
Pleasing or Serving?
Create Your Ideal Week
Your New Path Forward
What is the time commitment like?
The Principal Success Path™ is a 10-week program.
The time commitment is roughly 2-3 hours a week depending on how much time you collaborate and spend creating projects. And no work on the weekend!

Monday: Attend the live call 7-8:20 pm ET

How do I know this will work for me?
We GUARANTEE you will become a more effective leader in 10-weeks.

 There is only one condition. Show up. Engage with the material. Meet with your collaboration pod. And do the work.

 If you do that, we are confident you will grow or 100% of your money will be refunded. That is the Ruckus Maker Guarantee!
 You can also read Wanda or John’s case studies for the program.
I’m not yet a principal, is this program for me?
Depends.
 
This program will work for principals, APs, and teachers who are on track for an administrative position. Basically, if you consider yourself a leader, then you will benefit from this program.
I’m not great with tech. Is this a complicated program to engage with?
We think it is pretty easy and we are here to help.
 
We utilize a tech solution called Circle to run The Principal Success Path™.

General discussion will happen in group chats and different “spaces” will release the content and be a place where participants can post their work, offer feedback, and write their reflections.
What if I am looking for more support than what a 10-week sprint offers?
You can add a discounted mastermind membership (SAVE $1200) by adding a mastermind membership to your The Principal Success Path™ enrollment.
This is the ONLY way to get a discount like that on the mastermind.
What are the dates of the program?
The fourth cohort of The Principal Success Path™ will begin on Sunday, January 15th, 2023 and end with commencement on Friday, March 24, 2023.
How do I know if I’m ready to join The Principal Success Path™?
You’re ready. Now is the best time to apply.

 A Chinese proverb says, “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.”

 Often leaders are stuck evaluating the costs of investing in a program financially and time-wise.

 Another valuable question to ask is, “What is the cost of me NOT investing in my development right now?”

 If you consider yourself a Ruckus Maker and are hungry to grow your leadership skill set.

 Now is the best time to do so.
Can I talk to Daniel before making a decision?
You bet!
Email daniel@betterleadersbetterschools.com to set up a time to discuss AFTER you complete your application.
We will only invite those leaders we know we can deliver on their goals and solve their challenges.
How involved are you in the program, Daniel?
Very involved.

I designed the program from the ground up and created all the content.

And this is the LAST time I am coaching the program, the next cohort will be led by a BLBS expert coach.
What have other school leaders said about the program?
Will I have access to the content after the program closes?
No.

This is a constraint we chose on purpose for three reasons.

Since the content goes away, it CHALLENGES participants to engage right now and get maximum value.
The content is really good, but the MAGIC exists by showing up, doing the work, and collaborating with your peers.
By doing the work, collaborating with peers, and observing the system... that is what you can take back to your school and make it better.

Membership

How do you accept payment?
Personal debit/credit card for leaders investing personally. We can also break up the payments to make it work for you.

If your district is paying, we accept school credit cards. We also accept purchase orders and checks from districts.
How much does it cost?
The 10-week Principal Success Path™ Program costs $2000.
