Dance Studio Empire with Jen Dalton Jen Dalton

At what point should you walk away?

When you’ve been running a studio for some time –
it’s only human nature to have the feelings of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows…and I’m no exception.

There were multiple times during my 30 years when I was exhausted, felt defeated, didn’t want to hear from another
parent, didn’t want to justify why I had to increase class prices or change the timetable, and didn’t want to have to look for a new teacher as one of my great ones was moving on…even the hard slog of coming back after covid…often questioning is all this worth it?

In this episode, I give you some questions to ask yourself to help clarify if you should keep going or consider moving on…

Less stress, less overwhelm, more time...

In this episode, I talk about a new way I’ve been managing my time. This is a concept I was taught by my business coach.

...And although I’m not running my studio anymore, you may be able to take what I do and make it work for you...

Growth is about getting bigger or adding more, while scaling is about optimising and streamlining, so being more strategic.

It's about refinement, profitability & sustainability and not just adding more all the time.

You are already busy and overworked, so how can you keep growing and not add to your workload? The answer is to scale.

In this episode, I tell you when, how, and what you need to do to get started.

I recently spoke at the Victorian Dance Festival as part of a Business Bootcamp panel.

We were asked to share what we believe to be the 1 secret to success...

Success means different things to each of us, and I believe many things contribute to making anyone successful - but as I made a list, I kept circling back to this one thing, which I shared on this episode of the podcast.

I hope you enjoy!
