Take My Profitable Studio Business Plan

Over the years, I have created blog posts and videos around MANY topics that are important to studio owners.

I’ve created really detailed posts about:

• How to successfully use ads in your business
• How to create a really persuasive website
• How to use group lessons to maximize profit (while still producing high quality students)
• How to use surveys to create your marketing
• How to diagnose why you aren’t getting more students

But – I’ve never given the high level overview in any one place.

In other words, I’ve been a little guilty of missing the forest because I’ve spent so much time talking about the trees…

Until now!!!!

I recently was invited to be a guest on the Female Musician Academy podcast.

On that podcast, I gave a complete studio business plan in about 45 minutes.

Never before have I painted the big picture as clearly as I did here…

So, if you are a novice at studio growth… this is going to be really helpful for you.

And – if you are more experienced – this will be a great refresher (and there are some new ideas and concepts that I talk about in here that I’ve never publicly shared before).

Conclusion

One thing I’ve discovered over the years is that repeated exposure to concepts has helped me really internalize them.

You might want to bookmark this page… and come back to this one.

If you follow this model, and you use the tactics given… it wouldn’t surprise me if you achieve big results in your studio.

Hundreds of studios that have worked with Grow have used this plan to grow local private studios, international online studios, or create a large regional school (with this plan as the core).

You can use it, too!
