Over the years, I’ve heard a phrase over and over again…

“I wish there was just a step-by-step guide to building my music studio.”

“I just want someone to tell me what to do.”

Good news… there’s a book that gives you a “tactical guide to building a company.”

It’s short, it’s sweet… and it’s the topic of today’s episode. This is our “book report” on THE GREAT CEO WITHIN by Matt Mochary…

And how it applies to building your school or studio!

The threat of a bad review or negative word of mouth looms large… There are financial and reputational risks!

In this episode, Nate and Daniel teach from experience… giving plenty of verbiage that you can use to defuse these uncomfortable situations in your studio.

A lot of things have to go right for someone to discover your studio, be interested in your studio, contact you, and then set up a phone consultation or trial lesson.

After getting all of that right… It can be really discouraging to see that only 3 out of 10 of your trial lessons or consultations turn into a new student.

Why don’t people sign up!?!?

In this episode, we look at 5 reasons why your trial lessons aren’t converting.

Do you know how much the school you’ve built is worth?

Do you think of your school as an asset? 

An asset that you could sell, or pass on, or even use as a piece of your wealth-building strategy?

If you haven’t, you should listen to today’s podcast episode, because we’ve brought back Jeff Homer (friend of the show) to talk about putting a valuation on your school.

From the moment a prospective student reaches out to your studio… They are deciding on whether or not they want to work with you.

Should you sell your studio or school?

Would it even be possible?

What questions should you ask?

This is the topic that we are covering today… and whether you want to sell or think it would be possible to sell… You should listen to this episode!
