    In our very first episode tackling misconstrued beliefs, we spoke about how to reevaluate your business’s finances. 

    That included asking yourself the tough questions – ‘am I overpaying my staff? And can those expenses be renegotiated?’

    When I gave the same advice to my colleagues, the response I got was universal and worrying:

    ‘My instructors, trainers, teachers, and expenses hold more value than I do to the studio and how I pay them and myself will reflect that.’

    Y’all, once again, I totally get it.

    In fact, when I first started expanding my team, I paid my staff an inflated salary.

    I just wanted to be seen as a good boss.

    Until the year-end rolled around and I was barely making money myself.

    That’s when I realized one thing:

    Your studio is your rodeo.

    If you don’t value yourself financially, you sure ain’t valuing your business or your team.

    Join me in today’s episode as I tackle this belief headfirst and share my 30/30/30 profit roll, how to value yourself in your business, and what ‘constantly being in hiring mode’ means!

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    • The real reasons why you aren’t paying yourself
    • Whether or not you are paying your instructors an above-average rate
    • A breakdown of my 30/30/30 profit roll 
    • How to start evaluating your instructors based on the client experience 
    • Ways to renegotiate with open financials 
    • The misconstrued belief of your worth
