In this episode, we cover: • Why social media is only the highlight reel • How to overcome decision fatigue as a founder • Why trusting your team creates freedom • How to make difficult decisions with confidence • Why your business will only grow as much as you do Follow @thedancebusinesscoach on Facebook and Instagram for more helpful hints and tips to run your school like a business!

    Letting go of something that's working✨

    Today I share some powerful insights around growth, capacity and having the courage to let go of things that no longer align with your vision, even when they're working and even if they aren't broken.  I talk about the difference between playing it safe and playing to win, why success can sometimes become a limitation and how creating space is often the catalyst for your next level of impact, freedom and fulfilment💖 Follow @thedancebusinesscoach on Facebook and Instagram for more helpful hints and tips to run your school like a business!

    The question every founder needs to ask themselves

    This week, I’ve been reflecting on a question that I believe every founder needs to ask themselves. In this episode, I share why I won’t be at our annual summer show this weekend, the lessons I’ve learned about letting go of control and why growth often requires us to release things we’ve become attached to. We talk about fear, trust, freedom, leadership and what success really looks like when you stop measuring it by revenue alone. If you’ve ever felt torn between growing your business and living your life, this episode is for you. ✨ MADE FOR MORE ✨ My 3-day live challenge starts next week and is open to founders from any industry. If you’re ready to stop playing small, redefine what success means to you  and build a business and life that feels aligned, I’d love you to join us. 16th–18th June | Live on Zoom | Recordings available Save your seat >>> https://louisebrough.co.uk  Follow @thedancebusinesscoach on Facebook and Instagram for more helpful hints and tips to run your school like a business!

    The Part of Growth Nobody Talks About!

    Nobody talks about this part of growth... The part where your identity shifts. Your standards change. Your capacity expands. The version of you that got here isn’t the version that will get you there. In this episode, I share some of the biggest lessons I’ve been reflecting on recently, from why being busy is keeping so many DBOs stuck, to why you might be solving the wrong problem in your business. We’ll talk about capacity, discomfort, leadership, permission, and why the fastest way to grow your business is often to grow yourself first. If you’re feeling stuck, stretched or ready for more, this episode is for you 🫶🏻 JOIN THE 3-DAY MADE FOR MORE CHALLENGE ⬇️ https://louisebrough.co.uk Follow @thedancebusinesscoach on Facebook and Instagram for more helpful hints and tips to run your school like a business!

    The Systems Behind Sustainable Growth

    What if the thing holding your dance business back isn't your marketing, your pricing or your team... but the systems sitting behind it? In this episode, I sit down with Jack from Pebble, our headline sponsors at Barcelona, to unpack the hidden friction points that cost DBOs time, energy and growth opportunities. We talk customer experience, retention, automation and why what got you here won't get you there. Plus why creating a business that can keep working for you, even when you're not available, might be one of the biggest shifts you make. A huge thank you to Pebble for supporting our Barcelona event  ☺️ If you'd like to learn more about Pebble and see whether it could support your dance business, click below to speak with their team ⬇️ https://share.hsforms.com/1j75vLWDaR_WHUt-pKSkQ8wbyjqa?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAR6N69leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAad1KnEFjGYF2pPV_ymTDcrq2AKd54pmWy0BbCUzsZf8YSajrgqTMfki5U2m8g_aem_TIefmRMc8oNhkqHJx8CgKQ Follow @thedancebusinesscoach on Facebook and Instagram for more helpful hints and tips to run your school like a business!

    Having a vision that's much bigger than you!

    This week I’m joined by Jessica King from our Boardroom community for a conversation around growth, leadership and building something bigger than the business you’re currently running. We chat about stepping out of the day to day, trusting your team, creating a bigger vision and the evolution that happens when you stop being the bottleneck in your own business! Jess also shares the mission behind RDC Dance Teacher Training and why she’s passionate about raising standards within the industry and helping dance teaching become a respected and sustainable career path. A really honest conversation for any DBO who knows they’re made of more but is still figuring out what that next level looks like.
