Studio Owners: Are You Discouraged in Your Career? [7FMS Ep. #86]

by Daniel Patterson

 

We recently received a note from a listener, and it hit us like a ton of bricks!

He owns a rapidly growing music school and has teachers who work for him.

This listener is discouraged by the fact that parents don’t seem to care about music lessons.

They aren’t excited to have their kids enrolled. They don’t seem to appreciate the work and care that this school owner has put into the business.

In todays episode, we address these points… and provide a framework for thinking clearly and creatively about any difficult emotions you have about your career, our industry, client relationships, or your students.

Tune in as Daniel gives 3 specific questions you should ask yourself when faced with difficult times!
