200 episodes. I didn't set out with a number in mind -- I just kept showing up. And looking back, there are five lessons that have become clearer to me with every conversation, every coaching call, and every studio owner I've worked with.
These aren't new ideas. But they're the ones that matter most, and the ones I see studio owners resist the most.
The 5 lessons:
- Trust -- in your team, your systems, and yourself
- Do the needle-moving work, not just the busy work
- Stay in your lane and stop comparing your business to everyone else's
- Listen and read the room -- your students, your staff, and your market are always telling you something
- Get out of your own way -- ego and victim mentality are the two quietest business killers
This episode is part reflection, part challenge. If you've been listening for a while, thank you. If you're new here, welcome -- this is a good place to start.
Here's to the next 200.
