Have you ever heard the saying "What Got You Here, Won't Get You There".

I truly believe this is how successful people think and grow their businesses. Whatever you did to get you to this point within your studio biz has been great! You made it this far and I am a believer that you are exactly where you're meant to be (right now).

BUT, if you want something to shift or change within your business or life, and if you want to grow and develop further, something has to change. Doing the same old thing isn't going to move the needle in your business. In this episode I share how I make impactful moves in my business.

Imagine what your studio would look like, if you had a plan, achieving everything you strive for every 90 days?

Listen in to learn how to apply 90 day planning in your studio with EASE.

Have you reached a point where you don't want to teach anymore? It can happen!

Sometimes as Studio Owners we feel DONE. TIRED. NON INSPIRED or perhaps it is simply a case of wanting to focus your attention on other parts of your life or business.

Even if it's not you just yet, tune in because it could be you in the future. So let's talk about it and get REAL in part 2 of my 3 part series... Real Talk!

Introducing "Real Talk", where I bring REALNESS into your ears each week for 3 weeks so you know that you are not alone.

This 3 part series is designed to help you overcome the possible challenges that many of us feel in our businesses and in this episode, about all the things that are super real in your studio.

So! Let's peel back the curtain on the truth. Part 1 is where I discuss being a parent in your studio and juggling that role of CEO and mum! If you've got kids or family that attends your studio, it can be a little bit tricky but it can be beautiful too.

Let's leap in!

I'm talking about what I believe to be a chronic problem in the performing arts industry. That is suffering from starving artist syndrome.

The problem is that we don't know how to value ourselves at times, because we're so passionate about the art, creative process and the giving our of our energy to others, we can put ourselves secondary to our craft. 

I get very personal in this episode and share my experience with overcoming my starving own starving artist mindset.

Ultimately I can give you all the systems and payment processes in the world, but unless you believe in your core that you are worthy of what you want and need from your clients and business, then any system I give you is redundant, because you need to believe it, to action it.

It is time to love up your customers! Remembering that there are 2 key clients in a Studio Business which you need to love and essentially retain. I am talking about the 'student' and the 'payer' who may be a parent in most studio scenarios. 

I have some retention GOLD that has helped me keep my students for longer which I will share with you in this episode. 

Sure!! Great classes and programs is a part of the retention puzzle BUT it is merely a part.

There are so many contributing factors including community engagement and connection, high value offers and inclusions, the surprise and delight factor, collaborating with local businesses, affiliate benefits, streamlined payment processes and more! 

Another way to retain your students and customers is by creating a dream studio space that has a buzz within its walls.

As creatives, we can lose our minds when it comes to the 'big pie in the sky' ideas as we focus on the next shiny thing. Oh... being creative is so much fun!!

Today is going to be about the flow of ideas that we have and how we can sort through them so they can be prioritised according to what you need and desire for your business.

We also need to look at the energy input of an idea - from it's inception to its execution and if when you look at the whole picture, is it truly what you want right now? Or is it something you can create in the future?

That old chestnut! What to pay your staff hmmm.... Deciding what rate to pay our employees and contractors can be confusing and overwhelming at times. So what should we pay our teachers and staff?

The focus must be not to hire from desperation but rather, from a place of clarity that sits comfortably within our budget and business needs. 

Despite what some prospective employees may say, it's not about the money. There are many ways to attract the right people to your organisation.

In this episode I will cover various pay rates, employee VS contractor and also what questions you need to ask yourself before making a hire. It needs to work for you.

Back to the show... In episode 65 of Business, Arts and All That Jazz, I bring you the ups and the downs of 2022, the things that worked and the things that didn't work!  Hopefully my overshare brings you something you can resonate with. Perhaps you may be inspired or learn from my experience of this year, because it's been a whirlwind, that is for sure.

After coming out of COVID, we all went back into full throttle mode after what was a traumatic couple of years. I tried some new things in my studio business and also launched new things in my coaching business. I hit burnout recently and realised I did not give myself the chance to stop as I have been in flight or fight mode in my business, surviving this pandemic. Let's just say I did ALL THE THINGS and learned ALOT! Join me.

Here we talk about an important topic, especially as we come close to the Christmas period. It is about those unnecessary deadlines that we put upon ourselves as business owners, and creative entrepreneurs. 

I do it too, and we're going to be talking about lifting that burden and lifting the burden of Christmas. We should be having an amazing, joyful time, especially near the Christmas holidays. Isn't that what Christmas is all about? 

I have a few revelations that I'm going to share with you because I think that we all inflict unnecessary pain upon ourselves.  Let's talk about finding that joy again. Let's jump in!
