Hobbies and interests are important in life and can be utilized as tools for stress management, increased socialization, and connection with others. When working with clients, I often emphasize the importance of leisure activities and socialization with others. For many trying new things can be difficult. In those situations, I suggest clients consider activities they participated in when they were younger and continue or engage in similar activities as adults. Often activities that we enjoy in younger years can provide us with satisfaction as years progress and situations in life change. 1. What activity did you enjoy in the past? 2. How can you continue to engage in the activity now? During this episode of Tea and Therapy, Dr. Kimberly and her dance friends (Elaina Conrad, Jillian Godwin, Catania James) as they discuss their journey to dance and how dance has sustained them through various stages of life. Do you dance? What have been your childhood dreams? Have you been told that you're too much or not enough for dance? There's still time to follow your dreams!

New Orleans, LA native Nykisha Banks loves to dance.  Dancing has been in her blood since she was three years old.  She shares, “As a child, I was one of those kids who cried on stage.  That didn't sit too well with my instructor, and my mother was told not to bring me back to participate until I was ready.”  That time didn't come until she was age eight.  From there, Nykisha found her footing and continued to dance and flourish.  She has danced in many productions, all the way to high school.  After graduating, she worked with a dance company where she traveled, continued her training, performed, and ultimately became a dance instructor.  Today, Nykisha owns In the Key of Dance Studio based in Conyers, GA.  She also has founded a nonprofit organization, In the Key of Dance Performing Arts Inc., and published a book, A Dancer's Leap Into Accountability.  Her book details her 22 plus years as a dancer and dance instructor.  Nykisha teaches ballet, tap, jazz, modern, lyrical, and musical theater dance with her studio.  She also offers a thorough stretching and conditioning regime, starting at age three up to eighteen, and it's available for some adult classes.   Nykisha's success as a dance instructor and business owner is rooted in her ability to connect.  She is very imaginative, loyal, and, most importantly, an effective communicator.  Her success in the small things translates to everyone else's success, while her goal as a business owner is to be prepared for whatever the day may present. Nykisha has always found a way to give back, and it made sense for her to launch her nonprofit.  In the Key of Dance Performing Arts Inc. sponsors children in need after a thorough interview process.  “I am committed to nurturing my community by providing art enrichment through dance.  With the nonprofit, our mission is to provide lifelong tools that will aid in building a disciplined lifestyle from a solid technical foundation.  There are many ways to reach our youth; we just happen to do it through dance,” she says.  Nykisha says her inspiration comes from seeing her dancers grow as individuals.   “Seeing them no longer calling their parents feeling upset or wanting to give up because they felt like their teacher was too hard on them shows growth to me,” she shares.   To learn more about In The Key of Dance Studios, please visit their website at www.inthekeyofdance.com You may also follow them on Facebook and Instagram by putting In The Key of Dance in your search box.

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.

Dance studios are known for creating comfortable, safe environments where dancers can experiment with self-expression. However, many of us feel unprepared to support students as they come into their identities as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Samm Wesler is no stranger to leading diversity and inclusion training. As a gay woman who grew up in studios, she knows firsthand how language can shape the development of LGBTQIA+ adolescents. In the podcast, Samm shares how to lead a diversity and inclusion training in your dance studio and walks you through solid strategies to help you feel more comfortable and prepared when speaking about these topics with your team. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Running a dance studio is hard work, and growing your studio is even more of a challenge. No matter if you're just starting out—or perhaps you're a well-established owner; we understand that it's a uniquely demanding and personal business to own and operate. As studio owners ourselves, we've been there. But, it's also very possible to be a happy owner of a thriving dance business that you love.

Brian Crombie checked in with the owners of three local dance studios to see how lockdowns have impacted them, and it's pretty negative. ⭐️ Allain Lupien - Canadian Dance Company⭐️ Joanne Chapman - Joanne Chapman School of Dance⭐️ Sean Boutilier - Sean Boutilier Academy of DanceWe discussed how safe their facilities are, the public health measures they have instituted and how dancers are trained to stay in their own space; and yet they still can't open. We discuss how it's impacted their business, the income of their teachers, and the mental health and athletic development of their students. I don't think we realize how devastating these lockdowns have been on small businesses in so many sectors of our society, and dance studios are just one of many, but their pain is very real.

The founder of acrobatic arts Mandy Yip interviews certified teacher Kelly Peterson. Kelly shares her struggles as well as her successes with teaching acro online. Learn how she survived teaching during the first lockdown and actually increased her class sizes! Kelly Peterson is the Executive Director and Co-Founder of guiDANCE experience. guiDANCE is the only YPAD certified dance competition in the world. It is more than a competition it is an educational experience. She is an Acrobatic Arts Module One certified teacher, and certified to teach Rhythm Works Integrative Dance. Recently she received her Module One certification from Alixa Flexibilty. Kelly is an office manager, Wingman for Dance mentor, and fundraiser coordinator for Dancer's Studio in Clarion, PA. She is YPAD (Youth Protection Advocates of Dance) certified, is a mandated reporter, healthcare CPR and first aid certified and has all clearances. Safety is one of Kelly's top priorities with students. Kelly has worked in tabulation and the administrative side of many dance competitions over the years. One of her many goals is to give dancers the opportunity regardless of financial situation and to educate dancers about compassion, kindness, resilience, internet & social media safety, and confidence. Kelly helps with many nonprofit organizations in her community. She is continuing her education to help ensure the physical safety and psychological and emotional health of each dancer. During 2020 my goal was not only to bring in revenue but to keep our kids happy, healthy and safe. Not just physically but mentally as well. I took my business background and my nursing degree along with the tools that acrobatic arts provides to create “Acro punch cards” and “4 Week Online Acro Training” 4-Week online Acro training required each student to purchase their level of my Acro app and four 30 minute zoom private lessons. Acro punch cards started when one on one instruction was permitted. From June till December we sold over 500 one hour private sessions. If you charged $20 and hour thats $10,000 $30X500=$15,000 $40x500=$20,000 I can't express how much the acrobatic arts app is an essential tool for instructors and students. Dancer's Studio is owned by A-Jo Gallagher, also an acrobatic arts certified teacher. Because of the Acro punch cards we have increased our Acro class enrolment to 65% of all our students. We added another Acro class this past fall and they are now all completely full. Acro Island has been implemented in some of the classes as needed. In addition to these punch cards I did a special Black Friday card for younger students or students that never have taken Acro classes. These sold out in 5 minutes. All of my punch cards were created using Adobe Spark. www.guidanceexperience.com Acrobatic Arts

Stacy Tuschl is a speaker, business coach, and the owner of The Academy of Performing Arts in Wisconsin. She is the author of the book “Is Your Business Worth Saving?” where she reveals proven strategies for pulling entrepreneurs out of a rut and launching them toward business success. Thank you for joining us! Today we are wrapping up my Five Day Challenge with a Q&A session. If you are yet to look at it, go and check out the last five episodes, where we really dug in deep to teach you how you plan, create and then actually go ahead and launch, in a ninety day period, whether you're launching a business or a  product.  Even if you missed the challenge, stick around, as I'm going live on my Facebook Page and I'll be answering everybody's questions about how to do this launch thing, so listen in carefully, because I know that you're really going to get so much out of it! I'm super excited about today, because when we are doing our launch Q&A's, these are usually our big days, with lots of questions. People also know that when I do a Q&A after one of my challenges, I also do my giveaways. Today, I have a really fun prize, from my Dance Studios, as well as some other really cool things and I'm going to spin the wheel every five minutes and then  I'll be picking a winner from the people who have either posted their questions or have been engaging with me inside of She's Building Her Empire Facebook Community, so join me on the show today and see if you're a winner! Show highlights: “So some of the cool prizes, I'll tell you what people can be winning...” From minute 3:13, Stacy explains what the really cool prizes are, that you could be winning today. “What's the best way to hold on to that expert status, while moving into a national space in online?” At minute 4:35, Lyn asks Stacy her question about how to make her business really explode in the online space. “It might make sense for them to feed into a DIY Program.” At minute 5:44, Stacy explains the sense behind creating a DIY Program, for some people. “I have two directions I can go.” At minute 6:04, Stacy deals with Amanda's question about deciding which direction she should opt for- passion, or money. “I realized that there's a lot of time and my Friday Challenge could be pricey and I'm not sure that I have a following yet.” From minute 8:18, Stacy answers Heather Lee's question, by explaining how she could be overwhelming people and possibly causing them to want to drop out. “Do I have to offer a one to one at all, during this process?” From minute 10:40, Stacy answers Alicia's question and she also explains why she would not do a Thirty Day Challenge. “What if I'm doing market research for a course I'm interested in doing, putting out questions and polls, but not getting great feedback. Do I create the course anyway, or do I continue to ask questions until I find a specific topic that gets great feedback?” From minute 13:58, Stacy addresses April's really good question. How do I justify for the launch if it's just to fill in a few slots of private calls per month, not Premium priced programming?” From minute 15:13, Stacy answers Karen's question about whether or not it's worth going through the whole launch phase and she also explains what she would have done to build up excitement, in Karen's situation. “Do you suggest that we focus on one platform to promote?” at minute 19:47, Stacy answers Michelle's question by explaining that it would depend on how much you would be able to handle without over exhausting yourself. “How do I find people?” At minute 20:43, Jessica, who is brand new and starting from scratch, asks her question about where the people are to be found and Stacy explains some of the fundamentals of networking and also, the potential pitfalls of free groups. “How do I decide which to launch first? Do I do market research in all of that?” From minute 22:51, Stacy answers Audra's question, advising her to do the proper market research, as she has a number of different businesses. “Where were you six months ago?” From minute 25:50, Stacy addresses Dawn's question, by looking back at where she was a year ago before she'd discovered the world of launching, as compared with where she is, today. She also explains what she will be focusing on for the next six months. She encourages Dawn to keep on going! “I'm having trouble telling people what I am, or do, on Facebook Live.” From minute 28:00. Stacy advises Lindsay as to how to refer to herself and what it is that she's doing, on Facebook Live. “Do we need a copyright on materials?” At minute 30:06, Stacy answers the question about using copyright on materials and she explains how she deals with protecting her own brand. “Tomorrow, Thursday, I'm doing another Encore- call it a Webinar...” From minute 33:15, Stacy explains about the private, live Encore 'Webinar' that she will be doing inside her Facebook Live Group, tomorrow.

Josh Leve is responsible for the strategic development and growth of the Association of Fitness Studios. Josh brings more than 10 years of sales, consulting, advertising, marketing, operations, and retail experience to AFS. Josh has spent more than a decade in the fitness industry. Most recently managing large scale health clubs and successfully turning around the financial performance of three different facilities, while also providing consultative services for the boutique studio market. The idea of AFS stemmed from combining Josh’s health and fitness background, with his father Chuck's 40-year expertise in developing fitness associations. Time and time again, Josh had seen first hand, trainer after trainer leave the health club environment to start their own business, yet only to return due to the inability to find the proper resources focused on the business of owning and operating a fitness studio. In 2013, the Association of Fitness Studios (AFS) was born. You can say running an association and being in the fitness industry was inevitable for Josh. His grandfather Mort (a member of the Handball Hall of Fame) was founder of the National Court Clubs Association (NCCA) – one of the International, Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association’s (IHRSA) predecessors – and executive director of the US Handball Association (USHA). His father, Chuck Leve (a member of the Racquetball Hall of Fame) and 40-year industry veteran, was executive director of the US Racquetball Association, a founding employee of IHRSA, and developer and builder of four fitness start-ups including IHRSA. Prior to his health club experience Josh worked with Corbett Accel – the largest healthcare communications/advertising company in the US where he launched products for major pharmaceutical companies such as Merck, Bristol Myers Squibb and Sanofi-Aventis. Josh holds a BA in Journalism from the University of Kansas.

How to use new technology to ease the stress of running a business  Top 3 Takeaways From The Show The future of successful fitness studios will be the ones that do customization and personalization best. Taking all the collected customer data and making it meaningful will separate the savvy studios from the rest of the pack.  The consumer of today expects authenticity and high touch experiences from their studio. After all, a fitness studio by nature is deeply engrained in the local community.  Make sure your business education and skill set runs parallel of your fitness education. Attend conferences, workshops, masterminds and the like to see what else others are using from a technology stand-point to differentiate themselves and determine if it's right for you. Power Quotes From Josh "In top fitness studios, it's about taking a high-touch, results driven approach and creating an experience that could never be emulated in a traditional big box facility." - Josh Leve on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "As technology improves and more data is gathered from the human body, trainers (and thus studio owners) will need to be educated in how to make sense of this data." - Josh Leve on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Josh AFS Website  The 100,000 + Fitness Studio Landscape:  Martial Arts 10,000 Personal Training 60,000 Pilates/Yoga 30,000 Dance Studios 10,000  Cycle/Spin 12,000  ($22B in annual revenue) fastest growing segment in the fitness industry  IBIS World Public Data for Fitness Studios "Millennials Are Killing Gyms, Too."

If you're making offers on the MLS you have a lot of competition. Either you need to be okay with lower margins or medium-low margins and making a LOT of offers. Full-time MLS offers are time consuming. After one of my assistants made offers full time for 2 months we only ended up with 3 deals. It was worth it, but very difficult. You have to get serious with some direct marketing if the MLS isn't working to get deals.Show NotesIn this episode we cover:Jason and Katherine's journey from Taxi Cabs and Dance Studios to real estate investingThe importance of utilizing resources like House Flipping HQ and doing your research to know what you need to doThe challenges of investor clubs in Texas and things to be aware ofTheir current business model consisting of retail, wholetail, and wholesale deals.Retail: Standard MLS listing and flippingWholetail: Purchasing potential flip properties and selling it to wholesalers on the open market with less fixing upWholesale: Bringing deals to investorsTheir current methods for acquiring properties using mainly online marketing through their website and how to approach online marketing for acquiring dealsThe importance of understanding what people are going through and how it helps you get referrals.Why high-pressure sales are not a good tactic when dealing with real estateHow Jason and Katherine communicate and deal with sellersHow people can get started “driving for dollars”Their approach to dealing with out-of-state landlordsThe methods the Grote's use to analyze deals and determine the best course of actionThe flip bucket: a property that works well as a flip or wholesale dealThe buy-and-hold bucket: a property that works better as a rental or long-term holdHow the Grote's use bank financing for their flips and have done it on over 40 dealsTheir approach to rehabbing and fixing up propertiesHow the Grote's balance their family and businesses and the importance of setting boundaries and prioritiesTweetable QuotesClick a quote to tweet it!“That's the thing about this business.
