What would happen if you had to create culture and community in your school… but had to do so only through your staff?

Instead of relying on your own personality and energy…

You relied on the team that you hired?

This is what it means to be an invisible owner.

Most music school owners are overworked because they are putting an enormous amount of energy into their school.

They are the school.

This is not sustainable.

And – it prevents your school from ever being a business (instead of just a self-employment vehicle)…

And could even prevent you from exiting your business or selling your school (as we talked about with Jeff Homer in an episode about discovering what your music school is worth.)

In this episode, we talk with Adam and Erika Gingery about the unique way in which they are building their school… so that they are not as “up front and center” as most school owners.

• Strategies to keep you from “moving backwards” to previous roles
• Smart choices for your studio’s location and finances
• How to use advice or ideas that you get from podcasts
• Knowing your audience, leveraging your skillset, and seizing opportunities
