Being a CEO is really hard – you have to find who you are, manage pressure, loneliness and other outside factors – all in the midst of a storm.

This week’s episode is all about how to tackle those challenges and step into your role gracefully.

 

In this week's episode of the Transform My Dance Studio, our dynamic duo share how to build trust – a must-have for all studio owners – by embracing vulnerability with clients, paying attention, asking questions and always having an attitude of service.

They also cover the strategies they used to increase enrollments (and PROFITS) by expanding to schools and daycare centers.

Cultivating team players in your studio is a huge part of your growth as a business owners for one simple reason: you just can’t do it alone.


Sure, in the first few months and maybe even years of launching the dance studio you dreamed about, you can wear every hat. You might even enjoy doing everything, or perhaps you’re scared that if you start to bring more people in, things will start to go wrong.

It’s scary to bring more people into your studio, because let’s face it - it’s more than just a business to you. It’s your baby, your home. Your life.

But while bringing more people into the studio can be scary, bringing the right people into your studio can be transformational beyond anything you could have dreamed or planned on your own.

In this week’s episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast, guest hosts Angela and Jodi share their own experiences in cultivating a dream team the right way, including:

• How to assess the cost of new hires, and when you know the time is right to make place for a new employee in your team and your budget.
  
  
• Baby-steps you can take to comfortably begin delegating, training and introducing new team members into your world without fear or overwhelm.
  
  
• Common hiring mistakes and red-flag moments that they are desperate for YOU to avoid!
  
  

PLUS how to navigate the not-so-fun elements of leading your team when staying true to your studio vision and values. 

This week you're invited to do something that's becoming increasingly RARE for a studio owner…

You see, so often we just keep going … and going ….and going….  and never really stop and give ourselves permission to pause. Or to give ourselves a break.

So often, we fall into the mindset that the harder we work, the more we'll achieve.

The show must go on, right?

Well…not quite.

In today's episode of the Elevate Your Studio series, you'll discover simple, healthy ways that you can reset and recharge (no, you don't need to take a holiday - unless you want to of course) so that you can be the best YOU for your studio, your family, and most importantly, for yourself.

What can YOU do on a daily basis to reset and recharge?
