14. 4 Ways To Increase The Value Of Your Students Already Enrolled
In this episode, I talk about 4 ways in which you can increase the value of the students you already have enrolled in your studio.
So much time and focus is spent on marketing to find 'new students' - which of course, is essential, but I want to talk you through a different way of using what you have to increase opportunity for your students as well as increase the value that one student gives you.
If you haven't yet downloaded the Student Value Calculator, you can get it here: https://danceteachercentral.newzenler.com/f/calculator
Type in your numbers and the document will auto calculate for you.

13. The Most Effective Tool I Use For Studio & Revenue Growth
The Student Value Calculator is one of the most effective tools I use for studio growth and expansion.
Not many studio owners are aware of the benefits of knowing the value of one student for the year.
Some of these are:
1. Allows you to identify areas to increase revenue
2. Gives you an overview when talking to new families on where to encourage participation upon enrolment
3. Helpful for you when you are having a hard day or you don't want to respond to the email or return the phone call, just to see exactly how much value that one student will add to your studio if they do enrol!

12. Never Did I Think It Was Possible...
We don't know what we can achieve and where our journey as studio owners will take us, but one thing I CAN give you, are some ways to ensure the journey goes in the direction you want.

11. Conversation with my Biz Bestie - Our Live Event Takeaways
Last week I attended the Simply Business Summit in Palm Cove, Queensland.
The most exciting thing was I got to catch up with my business bestie, Claire O'Shea (IRL) who I haven't seen in over 3yrs!
We spent time together (once the summit had finished) strategising, planning, laughing and sharing a few glasses of wine, which completely filled my soul.
We also spend an afternoon recording a few episodes for (both) our podcasts...and here is the first one!
In this episode, we chat about our takeaways from the summit, the excitement of networking, and meeting other like-minded women in business...

10. Everything $$, Payments & Income Guilt
It still amazes me the number of studio owners who feel guilt, shame or not worthy of earning, not only a wage but a decent wage from running your studio.
This is your job....you should be paying yourself a wage!
In this episode, I talk about the 7 things you should say to yourself (out loud or inside your head) if you start to feel guilt, shame or not worthy, things to try if you struggle to get fees paid on time and why you need to re-assess your payment options for your families.

9. How To Plan, Create & Execute Your Teacher Training (3/3)

If you haven't already, go back and listen to episodes #7 and #8 and you can piece it all together.

8. How To Plan, Create & Execute Your Teacher Training (2/3)
When it comes to planning, creating and executing teacher training, I truly believe a lot of studio owners are simply unsure where to start or want to 'upgrade' what they are currently doing and aren't sure how.
In this episode (2 of the 3-part series) I talk about a quick and easy way to create your teacher training plan in 7 simple steps.

7. How To Plan, Create & Execute Your Teacher Training (1/3)
I believe most studio owners know the importance and benefits of training their teachers, but there are still a few who have not given it much thought...and this is why I originally put this training together!
Over the next 3 episodes, I will take you through a 3-step process of planning, creating, and successfully delivering training to your team and ensuring that your team aligns with, and compliments your studio to continue its growth and success.
Phase 1:

3. Surviving & Recovering from Creativity Exhaustion
As studio owners, teachers, choreographers, artistic designers (etc...and the list goes on), we are emotionally driven.
We put our heart and soul into every single decision we make when it comes to our students, families & staff...and as a result of this, it makes us emotionally vulnerable to creativity exhaustion, creative blocks, overwhelm & stress!
During this episode, I talk about 7 strategies and practical tips you can try when you next get to the point of creativity exhaustion...

2. How To Increase Enrolments In Your Studio
Probably the most asked question I get from studio owners is, 'How can I increase my student numbers?' or, 'How can I get more enrolments in my studio?'.
The answer is...well...there isn't just 1 way to achieve this! The answer is multi-layered - and (I'm happy to say) many of my podcast episodes have an underlying current that helps you with this very thing...
