I am so excited to be joined by Rebecca “Bex” Bidwell, Founder of Cherry Blossom Arts Theatre School in this latest episode of Change It Up Business.

Cherry Blossom is no ordinary theatre school and I wanted to get Bex on the show to discuss why this school is so different from all of the others and how her journey in life and entrepreneurship brought her to start this fantastic business.

We also discuss mental health issues, the impact of COVID and why it’s ok to leave a business, if it doesn’t make you truly happy.

Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or you’ve already got an established business, don’t miss this episode.

[03:01] Cherry Blossom Arts isn’t your typical theatre school. What makes it different?

[05:54] Being an entrepreneur certainly has its challenges. We have to be willing to put ourselves into uncomfortable situations in order to grow. Can theatre really help with this?

[07:47] Bex’s first taste of coaching came at an early age.

[09:52] Let’s talk COVID and unexpected international growth!

[13:30] The importance of having a routine.

[16:25] We discuss The Lockdown Drama Company and others things lockdown has opened up.

[21:58] Is waking up at 5am really the key to success?

[29:40] Creative thinking when the sun goes down.

[30:20] Before Cherry Blossom Arts, Bex ran another business and although it was success, she quickly realised that it wasn’t for her. But, does this mean it was a waste of time?

[37:39] How does Bex define success? Our views on this tend to change with age. Have YOURS changed as you’ve got older?
