87. The Only Numbers You Need To Know To Grow Your Studio

You may or may not have thought about this, but as studio owners, we are surrounded by numbers;

  • Enrolments
  • Retention
  • Sizing for measurements
  • Merch orders
  • Expenses
  • Income
  • Counting music

…the list goes on…

For many creatives, math & numbers are not always our strongest skill. (our talents just lie elsewhere)...

Now, of course, I am not speaking for everyone – but I stand here with complete transparency and tell you – I was that person, heck, I still use my fingers to count sometimes. The maths I did at school was called Maths in the beer garden if that’s any indication…however…As I began growing my studio, I knew I had to learn to understand at least some of the numbers in order to scale my studio.

I am running a LIVE Masterclass called the 3 Secrets to Simplify Your Studio Numbers on 19th Feb.
