Audio Player

Y’all may assume that because 77% of boutique fitness studio members are women, marketing to females is a no-brainer. They’re showing up anyway, right? 

Wrong. To grow, you must keep tweaking your outreach to this demographic. Learn how with Coach Rachel Prairie in Episode 660: Attracting & Retaining Female Clients in Your Studio. 

  • Get close up: know your client avatar’s age, interests, hobbies and more
  • Give them something to talk about: capitalize on word-of-mouth referrals 
  • Create touch points: cultivate community with events, programs and socials 
  • Make it easy: have great intro offers, flexible memberships and pricing options
  • Educate & empower: share information about holistic wellbeing

Win women by carefully customizing your studio’s messaging, products and services. Review and refine your approach in Episode 660. 

Catch you there.

Audio Player

I’m pretty sure that most (all?) of us didn’t open a boutique fitness studio to stare at spreadsheets and crunch numbers. Yet that’s part of owning a business.

Learn what you really need to know with Coach Lindsey Hammond and guest CPA Kimberly Tara in Episode 657: Everything You've Been Too Embarrassed to Ask Your Accountant.

  • Know your obligations: you’ll owe income, payroll, sales and property taxes
  • Pick smart partners: consider a bookkeeper, tax preparer or accountant 
  • Classify correctly: designate employees or independent contractors 
  • Pay yourself consistently: plan for revenue fluctuations to take home a check
  • Look for loopholes: request that your accountant use tax strategies to pay less

You’ll find in Episode 657 that you don’t have to know everything if you have pros on board. Check out Kimberly,  a CPA-certified tax coach and strategist for mom entrepreneurs.

Catch you there.
