So who are those members that are there consistently, that are a big part of the community, and that are qualified to teach? [Nick, 5:54]  “I always think that's a great idea, having a pool of subs at all times, but I feel like this is something that I'm pretty sure Net Gym software will automate for you. Even if you're not using Net Gym, it's a great idea to have some sort of blocking system.” [Megan, 6:55] “You might have your core people that you do rely on to cover subs, and that could be your core people in a sub pool or it could be your core lead instructors that are treating this more like a career and not just a part time gig.” [Nick, 21:26] LINKS:  Episode 304: No-Show & Late Cancel Policies That Actually Work NetGym  Vestaboard Messaging Smart Display Learn More About All of Our Partners & Get Exclusive Offers Visit the fitDEGREE Knowledge Base Send Megan Your Playlist or Discuss the Podcast Here!  fitDEGREE's Business Portal https://calendly.com/fitdegree-support  support@fitDEGREE.com https://www.instagram.com/fitdegree/ ​​https://www.instagram.com/fitspot_guru/  https://www.fitdegree.com/blog  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChJ5rK6zWPXjbxtUQx3ys9Q https://www.tiktok.com/@megan_fitdegree

What if taking time off actually made your business stronger?In this episode, I chat with Operations Strategist and bestselling author Alyson Caffrey about redefining success, building systems that support real rest, and why your business shouldn't fall apart when you're not glued to your laptop.If you're craving more space to be present—with your family and in your work—you're going to want to hear this conversation. Alyson drops truth bombs and practical steps that will have you rethinking hustle culture in the best way possible. TAKEAWAYS:Success doesn't have to mean 80-hour workweeks and constant hustle. For Alyson, success evolved from chasing money to cultivating presence, and your definition can shift too.Systems aren't just tech tools; they're how you create consistency, ease, and trust in your business (especially when you want to step away).Taking time off isn't a luxury; it's a strategy. Use it to identify gaps, build team trust, and strengthen your business operations.Not sure where to start with delegating? Become the “assistor” in your business. Train your team (or future team!) to succeed without you by clearly defining outcomes.Even if you're a solopreneur, setting seasonal priorities gives your business clarity and helps filter decisions, so you're not doing all the things, all the time.RESOURCES: Check out the blog post that accompanies this episodeDownload Alyson's Remove Yourself From Your Business Handbook Listen to the Coach Business podcast with Caryn Gillen!

Conor Hogan, Teagasc's People in Dairy Programme Manager, joins Stuart Childs on this week's Dairy Edge to discuss share farming as an option for generational renewal. Conor discusses the importance of managing time to keep the length of the working day in check and also the importance of getting time off or away from the farm also. This can be helped by being structured in the way work is approached. This element of work organisation and the potential that it has to create a good working environment is critical to attracting the next generation of farmers into the fold. Generational renewal is a big ticket item now with people looking at their options and it can no longer be taken as a given that there is a natural successor that will be interested in taking over the farm.  On the other hand there may also be people out there that are looking to farm but have no access to land. This creates opportunity and Conor goes on to discuss the idea of share farming as a solution to generational renewal in the absence of a natural successor. Conor says these arrangements can be win-win for both parties but that they are built on trust and communication.  Conor highlights the importance of farms being well maintained ahead of the owner potentially stepping back in order to ensure there isn't a mountain to climb in terms of investment in the business when the decision is made to take the next step.   This can be a significant handicap to the young person coming in as it will undermine the technical efficiency of the business in the early years which is critical to driving the financial success of the arrangement. Finally, Conor says that people should try to get time off in the next few weeks and then look to the future in terms of what they can do on their own farms to reduce the hours that they have to work and what they need to put in place to facilitate them taking as much time off as they want or as they feel is necessary to allow them have a good balance in their own lives. The preliminary National Farm Survey report for 2024 can be accessing at:https://teagasc.ie/wp-content/uploads/uploads/NFS-Preliminary-Report-2024.pdf    For more episodes from the Dairy Edge podcast go to the show page at:https://www.teagasc.ie/animals/dairy/the-dairy-edge-podcast/ The Dairy Edge is a co-production with LastCastMedia.com

In this episode, I'm sharing a personal update—I'm heading into surgery—and how I planned for real time off.

In this episode, gym owner and CrossFit Games athlete Bryce Broome shares how he built a profitable, systemized gym that lets him take regular time off to travel, train, compete and recharge.In fewer than two years, Bryce has developed a team that handles day-to-day operations when he's away—without sacrificing client care or profitability.He explains how business planning with a Two-Brain mentor set his gym up for success from Day 1: Before opening, he planned for staffing costs and scalability, identified his ideal culture, and hired staff who aligned with that culture. The result? A gym that pays him well and gives him time to enjoy life outside it. Proof: Bryce did this interview while on vacation, and he'll be taking more time off to compete in the CrossFit Games at the beginning of August.Tune in to hear Bryce's story and find out how you can start building a business that allows you to live the life you want.LinksGym Owners UnitedBook a Call  1:20 - Breakdown of Bryce's gym10:45 - Providing careers for staff15:22 - The value ladder exercise19:17 - How Bryce takes regular vacations28:05 - Advice for other gym owners

Erika offers practical advice for dancers and families without access to dance-specific care, busts common ballet injury myths, and shares her favorite recovery tools and daily habits for long-term wellness. She also discusses how to recognize genuine wellness support versus “checking the box” in schools and what one key change could improve injury prevention across ballet training. Erika also has a fantastic podcast called The Dance Physio Podcast that we think every dancer and their parents should tune in and listen to. Find it wherever you get your podcasts or learn more on her website.

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Michael Denehey interviews Joey Coleman, Chief Experience Composer at Design Symphony, shares insights on how business owners can design their first 100 days to foster momentum, clarity, and joy. He highlights the value of taking extended breaks, recommending at least two weeks to recharge and prevent burnout. Advocating for personal growth, Coleman encourages reading fiction and scheduling time for self-care to prioritize well-being. Additionally, he emphasizes celebrating achievements and maintaining a balance between work and personal life as key strategies for sustaining long-term success. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Design Your Own First 100 Days: Apply the same strategic thinking you use for customers and employees to yourself—plan your first 100 days of any new business phase with intention and clarity. Take True Time Off to Reset: Even a 10+ day break (ideally more) away from work and tech can dramatically reset your energy, creativity, and focus. You're not just resting—you're recharging your leadership capacity. Celebrate Small Wins Regularly: Don't wait for big milestones to celebrate—acknowledge small victories to boost motivation and prevent burnout. Even a solo movie or walk can be a powerful reward. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Grow Yourself, Not Just the Business: Set personal growth goals with the same focus you give business metrics. A stronger, wiser version of you is needed to lead the next stage of your company. Protect Appointments with Yourself: Treat time with yourself as sacred. If you wouldn't cancel a client meeting, don't cancel on yourself. Your well-being directly impacts your business health. Rediscover Joy Through Non-Business Activities: Read fiction, take a dance class, explore hobbies—doing things that have no direct business ROI can reignite creativity and emotional resilience. One action small business owners can take:  According to Joey Coleman, one action a small business owner should take is a 10-day (or longer) true break from work—completely unplugged from emails, calls, and business tasks—to reset, gain clarity, and return with renewed energy.

Navigating maternity leave can be super confusing, and it often leaves expecting mothers feeling overwhelmed. You're already juggling the demands of pregnancy, work, and planning for your baby. Now you have to plan for postpartum, too, and what life will really be like once your little one is here? You sure do! The problem is that many women assume their employer will guide the way. The truth? Maternity leave planning really falls on the expecting parents' shoulders. That's why today's episode is such an important one if you're expecting and planning on returning back to work after baby. In this episode, we're diving deep into what it takes to co-plan your maternity leave with your partner, understand your legal rights, and return to work with confidence, while also setting realistic expectations with your partner. Whether you're expecting your first baby or preparing for your next, this episode will help you feel informed, prepared, and supported! Who is Daphne Delvaux? Today's incredible guest is Daphne Delvaux. Daphne is an award-winning employment attorney and the founder of Delvaux Law, the nation's first and only law firm solely devoted to women's rights at work. Known as The Mamattorney on social media, Daphne educates parents, especially mothers, on how to advocate for themselves in the workplace. After struggling to find accurate information about maternity leave during her own pregnancy, she made it her mission to make this vital knowledge widely accessible. Today, she's breaking down what every working parent needs to know. What Did We Discuss? In this episode, Daphne and I dive into: Why Daphne became so passionate about protecting women's rights at work How to start planning your maternity leave (and what to consider) How to understand and calculate your total paid leave Whether and how to negotiate better maternity leave terms Some key conversations you and your partner should have before baby arrives Partner rights for postpartum leave and how to combine time off Emotional and mental prep for returning to work Common challenges working parents face and how to overcome them Final Thoughts Maternity leave isn't just a personal matter. It's a legal, emotional, and logistical one. I'm so grateful for Daphne's time because she reminds us that we deserve to know our rights, to advocate for our needs, and to be supported, not just by our workplace but by our partner and community, too. Daphne shares the truth about what's often left out of HR conversations and how we can shift the narrative around working motherhood. It's a fantastic episode, and we can't wait to have her back for part 2! So, if you're currently expecting or already navigating your return, this episode is for you!

The rest of your life does not come with summers off. In school, you get days off—snow days, holiday breaks, and long summer vacations. Many kids complain the summers need to be longer and school is too hard. But once they step into adulthood, the rhythm changes. There are no built-in summers off, and life becomes a long, steady mundane journey—one that ends only when you drop dead and step into eternity. This perspective might not sound very encouraging, but it's actually an opportunity to rethink your mindset about work, rest, and the purpose of your life.
