Are You Ready for a Coach?

Whether your boutique fitness studio is brand new, new to you, or you have been in the game for a while, you likely have found that discovering the magic formula to reach your studio membership and profit goals, so that you can enjoy some free time for yourself, can be elusive. Maybe you have asked yourself these questions:

  •  Where do I even begin? 

  •  Are my goals for my studio and my life actually attainable?

  •  What if I fail? 

Your old but familiar friend self-doubt starts creeping in…

But here's the thing that I want you to hear.

You can't grow what you can't (or won't) measure.

Ignoring your studio metrics and hoping for the best is not a growth strategy. Your studio metrics are telling a story, and you have to open the book and look inside to really get the full picture and see for yourself what is going on.

I can help you and teach you how to measure the key metrics in your business, create systems to measure them regularly, and most importantly, understand the story they are telling so that you know what is working and what needs tweaking.

I can help you create achievable goals and show you the path to crush them. 

The truth is, your entrepreneurial brains are wired differently than the brains of "regular" folks. It is what makes you successful, but also prone to riding an emotional roller-coaster.  Maybe you experience higher-highs and lower-lows than your peers, and as a result, your emotions can swing from panic to optimism, fear to delight, anger to passion and everything in between from one week to the next, or even between meals. 

Sound familiar?

As a boutique fitness studio consultant, and as a former brick and mortar yoga studio owner myself, I understand all of that. I have "real life" experience in your industry.  I get you, I have been in your shoes, and I know firsthand what works and what doesn't. 

I will help you cut through the clatter of the emotional roller coaster, help you clarify your goals, pinpoint the next best steps in your business to get there, and I will hold you accountable to the necessary actions.

I can help you unlock your potential. 

When I began working with my yoga business coach over 10 years ago, my studio business flourished. I grew my email list, my membership base, my revenues. I moved twice and build out 3 studio locations. I hired and fired teachers. My mindset around what I needed to be doing and what I could let go of changed. I created time freedom in my life, so that I could work when and how I wanted, and make a decent living. I knew where I was headed and how to get there. 

Was it easy?

 Nope. 

Was is better to have a coach by my side, every crazy step of the way. 

You bet.

I can help you achieve your studio goals at a faster rate.

I owned a brick and mortar yoga studio for 16+ years, through 4 locations, economic downturns, Hurricane Harvey, and then COVID.  My financial and free time goals were similar, I'd bet, to yours.  I set goals, built systems, worked the plan, and then when it was time to exit the path was clear.

I want your next choices to be clear, too.

Working together as a team, we will not only implement strategies to help you reach your goals, but also discuss any obstacles you may encounter along the way and how to overcome them. This means that you can avoid my mistakes and learn the same lessons quicker. 

I can help you save time, and time is money.

As a studio owner, I'd bet you have a million & a half tasks on your to-do list. The faster you learn and create systems to repeat what you have learned, the more rapid your growth will be. 

I regularly work with studio owners to evaluate what they are spending their money and their time on, and then help them to find ways to spend less of each in their businesses. 

I will hold you accountable.

You don't have to do this alone, and many of us need some hand-holding or an accountability partner sometimes. 

Just this morning, I was in a spin class that was HARD. I was so glad that I was in a class for a set time, with a couple of friends with me, because it got so hard that I wanted to bail. But the structure of the class and my friends helped me to keep my ass in my seat, and ultimately I was better off, of course.

I will provide accountability to you by encouraging you to document your goals and create timelines to get there. I will follow-up with you to remind you to move forward, a little bit at a time.

We will work together on strategies to reach your goals, and on each call, we will check on your progress. We will celebrate your wins, and collaborate on solutions to obstacles.  ·

Am I the right coach for you?

I will be 100% honest....I am not everyone's cup of tea. And I am cool with that.  I dive in, look around, call out what I see, and offer solutions. I am not going to offer you sugar-coated rainbow-colored unicorns, and let you settle for less that your highest potential. I am going to offer you real feedback, and real solutions.  At the end of every call, you will have at least one action item to tackle before our next call, so that week after week your business is moving forward and you are getting closer and closer to your goals.

If you want a quick fix, or you are waiting until you have enough money and time to ask for help, I am not your gal. I am not going to send you a bunch of videos and downloadable files with the promise of increased revenues in 30 days. Growing a business is a long game, and I want to walk with you step by step. I won't let you bail when it gets hard.

If you are ready to invest in your studio, your business and yourself, book a call with me to see if you and I are a good fit to work together.

To your MASSIVE success as a Barefoot Boss.
