In this episode, Ginger challenges the pervasive business culture of more — more students, more revenue, more square footage — and introduces a framework for identifying the number that actually aligns with the life you want to live.

Your enough number is the intersection of what you desire and what you are capable of earning. It accounts for your salary, your benefits, your revenue, and your profit. It is highly personal, and it will not look the same for every studio owner.

Ginger shares three portraits of what an enough number can look like: the studio owner building a comfortable, sustainable lifestyle with room for rest and vacation; the owner creating generational wealth and employing family members full-time; and the public school teacher who runs her studio as a passion project with no interest in scaling — and has every right to feel good about that.

She also shares her own experience of blurting out a random financial goal to her life coach, then stepping back to ask what she actually wanted — and landing on something more honest and more aligned with her values.
