Self-help and Life Enhancement Tips for the Business Owner

There are false notions that if you try to expand your business or try to make it grow that you are selling out! Why are dance studios any different from any other business? I have found through the years from talking to a lot of studio owners there is always a dilemma of finding the right mix so that studio owners don't feel like they are selling out in some way. The most important thing that we, as studio owners, must find is the right mix to balance out the important things that we face day in and day out. First and foremost is to understand that we are running a business and that must and will take first place over everything else. I know that if you love to still teach and you are at your studio every day this can and will be a real challenge.
