The Dream of More Locations: What Every Studio Owner Should Know First
Manage episode 481239120 series 3578458
Dreaming of opening a second studio (or more)? You’re not alone ... and you’re not crazy.
In this episode of Your Studio Podcast, Chantelle and Michelle pull back the curtain on what it really takes to expand your studio from one location to many - without everything falling apart in the process.
You’ll hear Chantelle’s own journey from struggling solo to scaling to six locations with flow and ease (and an ambitious plan for 24!). Plus, the surprising truth about why the leap from one to two locations is the hardest of all, and how to know when it’s truly go time.
This is not just for the multi-location dreamers - it’s also for anyone wanting to build a beautifully sustainable business that runs like clockwork, whether you're expanding, selling, or simply craving more ease.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- The real reason to expand (hint: it’s not just about reach)
- What must be rock solid at Studio One before you even think about Studio Two
- Two key expansion strategies (and the one that builds momentum faster than you think)
- How to structure your team so you're not cloning yourself, and burning out
- The surprising power of taking a 4-week holiday as your expansion test run
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel clear, grounded and excited about what’s possible - not overwhelmed by what’s next.
Because your dream studio doesn’t have to stay a dream...and growth can feel GOOD.
