Money, Measurement, and Preventing Burnout [7FMS Ep. #16]

by Daniel Patterson

 

What does it mean for a music studio owner to “get control” of their finances or become financially fluent?

How do you forecast for future growth?

What the heck should we be measuring in our studios anyway?

Financial control is more than keeping track of your expenses and making sure that everyone pays on time.

In this episode, we’re going to show you the power of financial measurement and forecasting in your school.

Not only that, we’re going to draw the connection between the fires you’re fighting and the financial metrics of your business.

This is the first episode where we’ve gone deep on “money”… you do not want to miss this one!
