What would you change if you could start your studio all over again, knowing everything you know now?

In this episode, Chantelle and Michelle break down the three most powerful decisions they’d make if they were building their studios from scratch today. After years of hands-on experience, missteps, and big growth moments, they share the strategic shifts that lead to a simpler, stronger, and more scalable studio.

  • Why retention (not enrolments) is the real growth lever
  • How to simplify your business model without sacrificing quality
  • What it really takes to build a team-driven studio that lasts

If your studio feels too complex, too dependent on you, or just not growing the way it could, this episode will help you rethink your foundation and move forward with confidence.
