HOLD ON FOR THE MIRACLE! I wanted to give up… I was making $500 consistently a month in my business. I was working full time and growing a business, so I had to outsource. There were not enough hours in the day for me to do it all, so I hired help. With that help came paying out of pocket. That’s right! $500 in income didn’t come close to the amount of money it was costing me to run my business. I was using my personal money and cutting things very close. There came a point when I was about to throw in the towel. I felt guilty… I wanted to pay off debt, save, and build a life with Paul. How dare I come out of pocket to support my business? Do I walk away? Do I keep going? Am I selfish? Is my money going to the wrong places? These are the questions I repeatedly asked myself. And then I did something that probably made no sense financially. I hired a coach! You see, I followed people on IG, and listened to podcasts where people kept saying “I grew when I hired a coach…” I would think to myself, “Well that must be nice, you have the money for that!” As I listened to these stories deeper, I realized the running theme: Most, if not all of these people invested before they were actually ready, and they knew that in order to get to the level they wanted, they had to seek help. So, I decided to take the leap! I invested in a coach and I was shaking in my student loan debt! More money out of pocket. Less money toward debt, saving, and building a future… And I kid you not, 2 months after hiring my coach, I made 4 figures in my business. This month I made 4 figures in my business. That is 2 months of consistently making 4 figures in my business! And I am beyond grateful! I didn’t quit before the miracle happened, but I realized that in order to get different results I had to take different action… I knew what I was doing wasn’t going to get me to my goals. I had to change it. Also, I truly believe when you invest in yourself and your business, people in-turn invest in you and your business. It’s the circular beauty of the universe.

Meet my business coach. Yup, I have one…because she’s done what I want to do. And while I could figure it out on my own, having my one personal coach to bounce off ideas, ask her how to do it, or “could you send me your copy” so I don’t have create my own has been so valuable, a huge time saver and basically fast tracking all the things. Alicia Jonas is a business coach for female entrepreneurs whose super power is helping biz owners create soulful businesses and turn their expertise and passion into profits online. She uses her experience in building two successful businesses to help entrepreneurs scale using a combination of mindset, strategy, visibility, and aligned sales systems, while simultaneously creating a life where they can nurture themselves and their loved ones. http://aliciajonas.co/ Instagram: @aliciajjonas Apply for my next LEVEL UP: https://msmelissarose.simplero.com/level-up-mastermind Grab Melissa’s Mantra’s for Mompreneurs : https://msmelissarose.simplero.com/page/140797-melissas-mantras-from-mompreneurs Join my Coaching Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/Inthenittygrittycoachingwithmelissa/ Direct Message me and share what your take aways are: https://www.instagram.com/inthenittygritty/
Students leaving us after we pour our blood, sweat, and tears into them can be an emotional rollercoaster, blow to our ego, and overall upsetting situation. One today’s episode I share how the “Four Agreements” has helped me shift from a scarcity and let’s be real anger based mindset, to one of acceptance, and humility when dealing with students retention.

Alicia Jonas is a dance studio owner and marketing strategist for studio owners who want to create thriving, heart-centered businesses doing work they love while building a life that is beyond their wildest dreams. QUICK TAKEAWAYS: Alicia wanted to get out of her business so she could actually work her business, instead of worrying about if things are getting done in the background. She was getting so bogged down with small details that she couldn't look at her business from a “big picture” lens. This desire facilitated her interest in automation.Alicia owns a brick and mortar children's dance and music studio in St. Louis, while also running an online marketing company helping other studio owners systematize and automate their brick and mortars.Her secret sauce to creating a 6-figure business is let go, hire a team, and spend less time in your business. This shift can and will make a bigger impact because you're not tied to the nitty gritty details, instead you can step into the role of a CEO who has a team to implement.Automation was found out of necessity for Alicia. She has 2 businesses, 3 kids, a spouse, and wants to actually LIVE her life! If she didn't automate she would miss out on so much fo her kids' lives and that's doesn't fulfill her. Because of automation Alicia now runs her business with high standards, in a way that works for her, and because of that, grows exponentially month after month.RESOURCES:Learn more about Alicia through her website: www.theconfidentdancestudio.com Follow Alicia on Instagram: www.instagram.com/aliciajjonas Get signed up for the 4 Steps to a Highly Engaged (and Profitable) Facebook Group Masterclass: https://bit.ly/facebookgroupmasterclass Snag a 7-day trial and 50% off an annual membership (that's $5 a month) for my new favorite fitness, workout at home, app, Fit On!

Hello everyone, my name is Claire O’Shea and Welcome back to another episode of The Business of Dance Podcast. Today I have with me another fierce and fabulous guest on the show. In this episode, I will be interviewing Alicia Jonas. Alicia is the director of music and dance studio Arts in Motion and is the creator of her coaching business The Confident Dance Studio. Alicia is a business strategist for performing arts, yoga, and fitness studio owners. Her method within her business is a combination of strategy, systems and mindset. She works with studio owners to align their work with who they are and what they want; streamlining systems, creating marketing strategies, and digging deep into their goals to create more income, build an unstoppable team, or get more customers while leaving them with more time, more confidence, and less stress! Alica’s Bio: (Alisha) Alicia stepped into dance at the age of 3 and never left. After pursuing dance and business degrees, she made her living in dance through her experience as a professional modern dancer and teacher. In 2006, she added a role as dance studio owner, and now is using her experience to assist other studio owners as a business coach. As a wife of 15 years and mom of 3 sons 10 & under, she recognizes the importance of creating intelligent systems and structures that help your studio run efficiently and keep it growing, while giving you the ability to step away to spend time with your loved ones. It is her mission to help every studio owner to find freedom within their own business.
