That was part 1 - if you haven't listened I would recommend tuning in to that episode first.

#140 | Why you need to implement a curriculum at your studio for ultimate studio growth and dream team success

GRAB YOUR FREE COPY OF MY MARKETING E-BOOK HERE! We all know there is more to running an amazing dance studio then posting on social media and emailing with parents. Without creating an exceptional experience in the classroom, we don’t have an amazing product that we can share and grow. If you are a one person show or growing your team, it is so hard to balance the time between all the administration that comes with running a business as well as creating exciting lesson plans from week to week. Here is where an amazing curriculum steps in! If you have spare cash lying around, I would recommend looking to purchase a curriculum that is already done for you as it would save a heap of time. But maybe like me when I started the curriculum journey, if you don’t have a heap spare at minute, it might be time to create something yourself. Or even if you like creative control, creating a curriculum that is custom to your studio can be an amazing asset. Over the next 3 episodes I am going to dive deep on the difference between a curriculum that works & one that flops, what you need to ask yourself when creating a successful curriculum & my 5 step curriculum creation process to create the curriculum of your dreams. Over the next 3 weeks I will be sharing bonus tidbits, templates and videos in my Facebook group for DSOs. If you want to grab a copy, just join the FB community. It is all free! https://www.facebook.com/groups/assembledancestudiocoaching Today we are going over the 4 questions you need to ask yourself before starting to create a curriculum at your studio.

DOWNLOAD MY FREE MARKETING E-BOOK NOW: http://assembledancestudiocoaching.com/marketingebook/ Like many other DSOs I am a part of a heap of different Facebook groups & dance studio owner communities and something I consistently see coming up or being asked about is how to not feel guilty about not being at your studio? Have you ever had these thoughts before?  How do I manage work/life balance? How do I not worry when I'm not there? Will parents be concerned I'm not there? What happens if something goes wrong? Have I spent enough time with family this week? Ugh... I didn't finish everything on my to do list If you are looking for some strategies to deal with this feeling, keep listening!

All of my clients generally want to grow or improve in some way obviously, but even as DSOs in the community I am sure you have seen and know amazing DSOs as well as some business owners who might be struggling to grow or manage their businesses. If you don’t do these things - of course it doesn’t mean you aren't successful. I’m not perfect at all of these either. Success is defined as “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.” "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." -- Winston S. Churchill In today’s episode I take you through the six differences between a successful and an unsuccessful dance studio. Invest time and money into team training Delegate Have a clear business plan with 1, 5 & 10 year goals Know their numbers Follow through Feel included as part of a community & be supported If you are wanting to create more rapid growth in your business and yourself - make a note of the details above and take action to start implementing this week!

In todays episode I am telling you the steps I put in place for my maternity leave and how you can implement them as well! If you aren’t going on maternity leave or don’t plan to (totally fine), the same info in this episode could be applied to a short or extended holiday, family emergency or even if you were to injure yourself etc! I Have seen a lot of posts in Facebook groups from people who are unsure what to do, have last minute staff changes and are generally stressed about the concept of “leaving” for an extended period. I get it - it's not always possible and I am not claiming to have all the info or to be completely checking out for the next 4 months. But due to a few extenuating circumstances over the last month, I started my mat leave even a little early. Here are my top 5 musts for me to be able to step away from the business: 1. Invested time and money into team training 2. Systemise your processes 3. Trust in your team 4. Schedule catch ups 5. Allocate roles & their ability to make decisions If you have any further questions, please reach out to me! I would love to help! hello@assembledancestudiocoaching.com 

#136 | What I'm doing to prepare for maternity leave

In this episode, I sit down with Holly who is just about to open her own dance studio.....brings me back to when I first started, wow.  During the coaching call, I guide Holly into navigating what costs are worth it when starting out & what she can hold back on until her business grows.  16 years ago, Holly went to her first ballet class and fell in love with dance, 3 years ago she fell in love with teaching dance and is now bringing her passion and compassion to the Brisbane dance community. A little about Holly, she is a 3rd year university student studying a Bachelor of Science majoring in Physics and a Bachelor of Business majoring in Economics. Holly is very passionate about promoting women in STEM and make it a priority in her life to be a good role model for my students, showing them a successful business and science woman, the woman we didn’t get a chance to look up to. In terms of her dance career, she has been dancing for 17 years in styles including ballet, jazz, contemporary and musical theatre. She completed her Advanced 1 RAD ballet training and her CSTD Level 6 during her teenage years as well as performing in several musicals including ‘Cats’ and ‘Hairspray’. Holly also makes it a priority of hers to express the importance of diversity, love and acceptance especially in dance. Multiplicity is an LGBTQIA+ friendly space, open to all walks of life, all skin tones, all pronouns, all bodies. Holly believes if she can empower just one of my students to stand up for themselves, accept who they are and be confident in themselves, she’s done her job.
