Many entrepreneurs start their businesses because they’re driven by a passion for whatever industry they’re in. However, there are a multitude of other facets in business that need to be managed meticulously, and they’re far less exciting. Kristin Thompson realized this quickly when her passion of dancing turned into a nationally recognized business, and she found herself struggling to balance it all. Paying rent, organizing a larger group of clients, bookkeeping—it quickly caught up with her and put her in a difficult situation that threatened her business and landed her in court over financial disputes with her landlord.

 

Today, Kristin is a nationally recognized choreographer, and her dance studio, K. Monique’s Studio of Dance, wins awards all over the country. Join us as we talk to Kristin and discover how she used confidence throughout her years as a young business owner with very little know-how to continue to propel her business forward. She will share how she made it out of difficult situations that could have ended her business, and what those experiences taught her along the way.
