by Daniel Patterson

 

If you run a school or large studio… you know there’s a lot of work to do other than just teaching lessons.

Wouldn’t it be great if someone else could take some of that workload for you.

Someone that you could trust to manage and run many of the administrative and “back office” functions of the school?

This isn’t a pipe dream. It’s doable.

What you need is a general manager for your school… and to talk about this role, we brought back Jeff Homer.

In this episode, Jeff shares a WEALTH of knowledge about what his general managers do… and gives a lot of practical advice for how you can hire someone to manage the admin in your school or studio!
