In honor of the “holiday of love”... I convinced Nate to do an episode on a special program they have at Brooklyn Music Factory:

Date night!

Parents drop off the kids at BMF for their Date Night…

And kids have a blast in this special 3-hour program.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What’s date night?
• How does it work?
• Why does BMF do it?
• How profitable is it for BMF?
• The underlying principles that make special programs work in your school

In today’s episode, we are releasing more audio of a live special event that we held at Brooklyn Music Factory back in December.

This is an excerpt from a Q&A that we did… As we answered questions that six clients asked us at this special event.

Here’s what we talked about:

• How do you make good decisions in your music school?
• How do you know what your school's strategy should be?
• Should you seek advice or trust your intuition?
• Using special programs to create revenue in your school
• Lead generation and marketing in the 2020s
• Creating special programs in your school
• You don't "accidentally" create a network of people

Most music school owners are overworked because they are putting an enormous amount of energy into their school.

They are the school.

This is not sustainable.

And - it prevents your school from ever being a business (instead of just a self-employment vehicle)...

In this episode, we talk with Adam and Erika Gingery about the unique way in which they are building their school… so that they are not as “up front and center” as most school owners.

For our 100th episode, we reflected on what WE have learned over the past 100 episodes.

What did we get wrong? What surprised us about music education, owning a school, or any of the common “struggles” that owners have?

For our 100th episode… we look back so that we can ALL look forward to 2024 and beyond.

Some schools have a spending problem and don’t even know it!

In this “fun-sized” episode, we explore every music school’s 8 largest expenses…

And give practical guidelines on what you should be spending in those categories.

When you get these 8 categories under control, you will increase your profit margins by default.

And that’s the difference between being strapped for cash… or being able to take time off, save for retirement, or take that vacation you’ve always wanted to take!
