Balancing Passion With Profit

Audio Player

So many of us dove into our studio ownership more fueled by abounding passion than business acumen.

Fervor is fabulous but doesn’t automatically equate to profits. Even if you’re not a numbers person, profitability is critical. Coach Elle Kealy walks you through her journey from naive to savvy studio owner over the last 20+ years in Episode 636, Balancing Passion With Profit. 

  • Embrace a CEO mindset: commit to understanding and practicing business skills
  • Get out of your own way: quit doing absolutely everything and delegate instead
  • Invest in education: learn about finances, marketing, operations and risk management
  • Cozy up with the numbers: make a budget, set financial goals, track performance
  • Reap rewards: benefit from less stress, more opportunities and a regular paycheck!

Passion is the heart of your business; profit is the lifeblood. Discover how they can work hand-in-hand so your business thrives in Episode 636.

Catch you there.

With grit and gratitude,
Lisé
