Podcast Episode 48: Crash & Learn with Erin Haag

Crash & Learns are where I interview an entrepreneur about a time that they probably don’t want to talk about – a total business failure.

This week, I’m talking to the Erin Haag, owner of the studio Pilates of Palm Beach.

She discusses managing two babies under the age of 2 and running her studio which was an impossible lifestyle to keep up.

Listen in on Episode 48 and you’ll learn

  • How Erin was able to overcome the largest obstacle in her business
  • What Erin did to move away from only trading her time for money
  • How Erin quadrupled her profit margins
  • A completely different cultural change that allowed her to always be chasing clients for money
  • How she found the right person to manage her business (after several wrong hires)
  • Erin traded lower package prices for a long-term financial commitment from her clients…
  • That her clients get better results physically because of the operational changes that were made to her business!
