Cultivating team players in your studio is a huge part of your growth as a business owners for one simple reason: you just can't do it alone.

Do you dream of starting your own dance business but just don't know how? Or are you stuck wanting to grow but can't seem to make progress? Chief executive officer of DanceLife Unite and managing editor of DanceLife Australia, Chris Duncan, has taken the step to put her 35 years of dance industry knowledge and experience in words in the launch of her first book – DANCEBOSS: From Start-Up Enterprise to Dancepreneur. Many in the dance industry enter the business world ‘accidentally' because they just want to find a way to monetise doing what they love. At first it doesn't even seem like work. Inevitably though, the fun-factor can fade – especially when things get tough (like when a pandemic hits!!) First time author, Chris Duncan, knows the highs and lows of doing business in dance after a career spanning 35 years. As a teacher, choreographer, and studio owner, then as an agent, publisher, event manager and producer, Chris has dedicated herself to providing as many opportunities as possible for the next generation of dancers to learn, grow and become incredible future professionals. Now, Chris expands her mentoring role to help other passionate DANCEPRENEURS create their own dream enterprise and, in doing so, increase valuable work opportunities within the industry.

Over the next coming weeks, Clint has invited world-class dance studio owners from all over the globe to share their journeys and powerful lessons of running a thriving dance studio in a seemingly lonely industry.

It's our final CEO Coffee Chat for 2021, and Heather & Patti are going out with a bang! This week we are talking about what lights your candle. What truly ignites you? What drives you in your business? Do you consider yourself to be successful, and is your studio going down the right path for YOU? In this conversation we are digging in deep to ask the question: Is your life by design, or is it by default? You'll discover how to rediscover joy in your goals, your process, and the tasks that you're doing (instead of creating a monster that you dread seeing each day!) Pour yourself a coffee, and fall back in love with your studio with business-besties, Heather and Patti.

In this week's episode (part 5 of our CEO Coffee Chat with Heather and Patti) our dynamic duo are drilling down into mindset, and aren't afraid of getting a little bit uncomfortable as they open up about a mindset-block that so many studio owners need to overcome.This week is all about giving yourself permission to be valued.    Heather and Patti are taking a deep and personal dive into what it means to know your worth, and the impact that this can have on your staff, your clients, and your business.    More than ever, dance studio owners need to hear these powerful words as we unpack:   Why Dance Studio Owners tend to experience a hesitancy around being valued, and the knee-jerk reactions that could be damaging both your profits and your emotional well-being. How the ‘F-word' (finances) can be reflected in how you value yourself, and the domino-effects of bad habits like not paying yourself, discounting, and reactive approaches to customer conflict. Heather and Patti also share simple tips on how to overcome these without sacrificing your values. What you can do to start valuing yourself so that you can expect others to do the same both professionally and personally. Why self-care needs to be the #1 priority for studio owners, and how to cure “I-Don't-Have-Time-itis” to turn this simple habit into a non-negotiable part of your routine.  Our guest hosts also share the ‘aha' moments that forced them to make some big changes in their studio that have completely eliminated late-payments and delinquent fees, permanently!   Pour your coffee and click here to access this week's empowering episode of CEO Coffee Chat with Heather and Patti, powered by the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast.

A brand new episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast has just hit the airwaves, and I hope you're ready because this week our guest hosts are taking you and your studio from zero to 60 miles per hour in no time! It's Part 4 of our 6-part special, CEO Coffee Chat with Heather & Patti, and this week is all about staying in your lane while standing out from the crowd. If you've ever suffered from ‘fear of missing out' (FOMO), or been consumed by copycats, then Heather and Patti's tips are going to change your mindset and your trajectory for this season - for the better. Our coffee-fuelled business besties share their experiences when it comes to: Losing sleep over copycats in the dance industry, and practical tools to help you remain in your lane and thriving in the face of competition.“When you dial into that, you have a lot less problems. You don't lose sleep over the little things. You have the right staff because they believe what you believe. You have the right clients, you have the right parents, and your dancers work the way you want them to work, because it all comes down to values”   Embracing a mindset of abundance, and how a ‘community over competition' focus will help you enrol and retain more loyal dancers. “There is room for as many studios that we can fit in our town, because we're really all truly bringing the gifts of dance to children. Why can't we just celebrate one another and work together? As soon as we let go of the pettiness and the silliness, we all succeed”    How to discover your ‘secret sauce' to ensure you will stand out from the crowd (even when there is a studio on every corner): “It's what makes you stand out from the crowd. It's why your dancers won't leave you to go to another studio - because they don't have your secret sauce. We're all teaching dance, but the way that you do it and the things that you do for your clientele are so different based on what is important to YOU and your studio.” Heather and Patti also share how they have both found ways to re-discover and ignite their love and passion for running their businesses, even through their toughest challenges.

This week, Heather and Patti will be talking about applying their positive and fun mindset to different areas of your dance studio while maintaining and strengthening your brand. In this episode, our coffee-loving business besties are talking about branding and marketing strategies that have changed the game for their studios. Our dynamic duo are giving you some specific examples and also some action items in each of these areas to help inspire you to apply these ideas in YOUR studio for 2022!

In just 20 powerful minutes, Angela shares her magic preschool formula that every studio owner should hear, including: Finding and hiring the perfect preschool dance faculty who will ensure every student is begging to come back to the studio week after week. "You need to have a preschool teacher who absolutely adores this age. You don't ever want a preschool dance teacher who doesn't love what they're doing. Creating an environment and atmosphere that will keep your dancers engaged from the moment they walk through your studio doors. "As teachers, we're setting the stage as soon as the dancers are coming in, even before the class starts. We always start the very same in our classes, and we always end the very same so that even the youngest dancers know exactly what to expect."  Bringing new enrollments into your preschool classes all-year round - without spending a fortune in advertising. "You have to be intentional. You have to really plan out the journey of a preschooler and look at your studio through a preschooler's eyes" PLUS Angela shares the #1 strategy for studio growth that she thinks every dance studio owner needs to know - and it all begins with her preschool program!

I found out that we had our best summer ever based on revenue, even though at the time I didn't feel like we were rising up to the expectations that I had set for myself.” The huge mindset shift she noticed when taking time to reflect on her incredible progress over the last 5 years in business. “Track your revenue, track your student numbers and track your wins!” Her experiences in taking the leap to expand her 2-person team and getting the right people into the right roles. “I had been running myself ragged trying to do all of the things, and I have learned over time that when we try to do all of the things, we're not going to do any of them to the level of quality that we would want.” Kayleigh also opens up about the decisions she made that allowed her studio to grow and thrive in the midst of a personal health crisis that put her out of action completely when she least expected it.
